Rookie starters '05

i don't know what the big deal about tight ends is. chris cooley did fine last year in gibbs's system, and i don't see why we need to draft a better guy. we need to focus on middle linebackers, cornerbacks, and possible wideouts.

Cooley is our H-Back.

We aren't replacing him.

ummmmmmm cooley isnt a tight end, lol, i think this is the third time you said this. he is a h-back. the TE we are talking about is royal (who lines up on the line of scrimmage)

I think that what happens with Smoot and Gardner will help determine what we do in the draft. Gibbs had a great draft last year and I'm sure he is looking to target some specific guys to fill needs.

Look for him to get a late round pick for Gardner and then trade two picks to move up and take a specific guy. Could be a TE or corner.

Look for the late round project picks to go to Greg Williams this year.

Good chance to see a new blocking TE. Even a first rond WR won't be starting until he proves himself (see Desmond Howard...).

WR will be it

maybe DE

TE may be what we need in the first round, given we have these weak ass WRs! :oink:

there's only one possible 1st round TE and he's a bit slow and not a good blocker, but great hands :P

Blocking TE or CB....maybe DE. This player would not necessarily have to have been drafted in the 1st round (especially the TE).

Gibbs will NOT start a rookie WR, at least not until later in the season....I don't see them drafting a top WR now anyway.

I think Royal will stay as our starting TE. Cooley will be our H-Back.

If we're going to have a rookie starting it will either be at WR or CB. It all depends on what happens w/ Smoot.
