SmootSmack 11-01-2009, 12:58 PM This isn't about what player to draft, but rather what position.
Seems like we're pretty split between OL or QB. I'm in the draft a QB in the first round camp, but wanted to see what the group thought.
I threw in RB just for added measure
dblanch66 11-01-2009, 01:03 PM I'm with you, there. QB. Gotta start with a leader.
Chico23231 11-01-2009, 01:07 PM no question, oline
WestCoastSkinsFan 11-01-2009, 01:08 PM Would it be a cop-out to say "Best player available at a position of need"?
Daseal 11-01-2009, 01:08 PM Best. Player. Available.
GMScud 11-01-2009, 01:15 PM I would LOVE to have CJ Spiller. I think he's going to be a Chris Johnson type RB right out of the gate in the NFL. That said, I'd think we should move our high first round pick into the latter half of the first round for extra picks. Then we take the best O-lineman available, and look for a QB and RB in the 2nd/3rd rounds. We need to stockpile young talent, not shoot for that one potential gleaming star. I will go on record again saying I want ZERO part of Bradford or McCoy.
Daseal 11-01-2009, 01:25 PM GMScud -- I think 90% of the people on this board and inside the skins organization would love to move down. Problem is, no one will move up into a top 5 pick. Too much money and compensation given up to get the pick. If we could trade down for picks, I'd be very, very happy.
SouperMeister 11-01-2009, 01:26 PM O-line should be the #1 priority. QB is far too much of a crapshoot in the first round. See Heath Shuler, Patrick Ramsey, and Jason Campbell drafted in the 1st round here alone. Throw in Alex Smith, David Carr, Joey Harrington, JaMarcus Russell, Rick Mirer, Trent Dilfer, and Ryan Leaf - All Top 5 overall. We did pretty well with Chris Samuels as a top-5 pick. I want our new GM to find the next Chris Samuels.
SmootSmack 11-01-2009, 01:37 PM What about Matt Ryan, Joe Flacco, Ben Roethlisberger, Peyton Manning, Phillip Rivers, Eli Manning, Jay Cutler, Aaron Rodgers, Carson Palmer....
GTripp0012 11-01-2009, 01:38 PM BPA, with a caveat.
If Brandon Spikes is there, you take him. If there is a shutdown corner there, you take him. If Jahvid Best is there, you take him. If Eric Berry is there...etc.
If there is no best player available, like there's no situation where Orakpo falls to us, then you could reach a little bit on Russell Okung, or you could take the top quarterback on the board to satisfy a need. I don't think the top QB on my board is going to be gone until the middle of the first round, so it is what it is.
