Drafting Hurricanes makes your team better

I want them both =(

Isn't that game where VT threw only 5 passes also where VT and Kevin Jones ran all over you?

If we draft winslow and he wants #81... cut him, haha. Seriously though, theres NO WAY we should give him #81, unless Art Monk himself presented him the number.

SkinsnCanes thanks for offering up your Hurricanes insight!

I can't argue with the fact that Miami players are usually impact type players. Looks like the Skins are in line for one of them, I'm leaning more towards Taylor at this point but after reading Joe's minicamp reports it's becoming obvious that Winslow might be just what Gibbs needs at the H-back. Either way I think we're in a win-win situation.

Taylor could be the next Ronnie Lott, and Winslow could complete what would appear to be on paper, the most dynamic offense Gibbs has ever coached.

As far as Winslow wanting #81, that's not gonna happen.

As far as Taylor, draft him, draft him draft him. Winslow would make our offense unstopable with all our other weopons, but Taylor alone changes a teams offensive strategy. VT threw less that five passes against Miami because of him. I wouldnt doubt if Taylor put up as many points as our offensive did last year. He has a natural instict for the ball, hes in on everyplay. Everyone sees Lavar running down the ball on everyplay, it would be two of them if we get Taylor, the defense would instincting become a force.

I knew there was a reason I liked your initial post on this thread and read the rest of them. We both agree Sean Taylor is a diffrence maker. I would be happy if we drafted Winslow, but I think that would be a luxory pick (just like T. Jacobs was last year) given our needs on defense. Other teams will lick their chops if we line up Iffy and Bowens at safety, our current saftey's are not good. Free Safety is a thinking man's positon. Iffy and Bowen don't fill that requirement.
I am not sure there is another defensive player in this draft that can have as much of an impact to our defense (and team) as Taylor. I say this because of our extreme need at this position and his obvious talent.

I dont' know who we are going to end up getting, I saw a rumor that we dealt FB Byran Johnson to the Bears for their 5th round pick. So that would leave the H - back position wide open if we draft Winslow. Taylor will make the overall defense beter and he would make me feel better about losing champ. Lose a premiere cb and gain a premiere safety. now that trotter will also be leaving i hope we are able to get Holdman in free agentcy :thumb: .

Winslow lead the Canes in receptions and had a horrible quarterback. He was one of the Heisman favorites until everyone saw how horrible the Canes QB was. The Canes would have lost more games if it wasnt for him, theres a highlight of him leaping over a player and making a one handed catch on fourth down on a drive that lead to a win. They are both studs, but I agree that he woudl be a luxury.

Jones did not run all over the Canes in the game that they threw five passes, it was the year before. What VT did was bring in Vicks younger brother to play QB just for that one game, and he did all the running. When Miami played FSU, Sean Taylor won that game. Both becuase he scored, and because of all hes key picks. I think he had three that game, but they made fun of him becuase he could have had over six because of the plays he made put deflected the ball instead.

Boy I would love it if we could dump some pick's next year and get both, WOW! we would be something with both of them on either side of the ball.

it would be an amazing thing to have both of them. Id like to think we will do well next year where we could get rid of our pick for next year to get both, but i dont see it happening

You know how depressing it would be if we ended up drafting T. Harris with teh 5th pick.... Im glad we traded B. Johnson because it at minimum give me more hope that we will draft either Winslow or Taylor
