Draft Contest, What Would You Have Done?

This is how I would have run this draft!

With our first pick we deal down to mid to mid to late first for an additional second rd pick and take Chris Spencer C-miss st., I am sure to find a #2 from someone at the bottom of the first and probably get a 3rd or 4th as well but I am happy at this point with a second. I would then deal back again to the second rd with oakland with our #25 pick for their 2 #2's giving us a total of 3 #2's I throw in Gardner and if need be a later pick, then take Justin Miller CB out of Clemson, Vincent Jackson WR out of N.Colorodo, and Odell Thurman MLB georgia, all in the second. However I have to work the deals I come away with a mid to late 1st and 3 #2's.

Spencer
Miller
Jackson
Thurman

That IMO should have been our draft, and it realistically could have been done without going crazy. Not only do I feel we are getting tremendous talent with those picks, it also addresses all of our needs exept a pass rushing DE, and a LEGITIMATE backup QB.

Notes I do keep the #25 pick we dealt from earlier in the week, I didn't have a problem with that trade just the pick we used it on.

I like Rogers but felt Miller is so close to Rogers and maybe the best kick returner in the draft, [besides maybe Mathis], that it was worth it to deal the 9th pick down and probably lose Rogers, to come away with the quality and depth that I have proposed.

And mark this down V.Jackson will be as good or better than M.Williams, how much I am not sure, Williams is the toughest player IMO to judge in this draft, I still feel he will be a monster in the red zone.

I then look for a DE and a backup QB in next years draft.


Well maybe some of the rest of you want to put together your draft, at the end of the season we can go back to this thread and see who's crowned GM of the WARPATH.

This Actually sounds like a pretty interesting contest, any more idea's let them fly. :pi_lightb :biggthump

I just wish we would have taken Mike Williams with our 9th pick. :confused- We really need a good WR!!!!! I think we could have gotten a decent CB with the 25th pick. :pi_lightb Oh well time will tell.

:httr:

Easy to say you would have traded down, problem was there were very few trades and not enough interesting prospects that made teams want to deal up.

The later rounds, I don't really care, although maybe it would have been nice to take a developmental d-lineman at some point.

I think this team's only chance is on defense so I would really do what I could to load up on talent. I would have gone with Carlos Rogers with that #9 pick; and then Dan Cody at #25 instead of Campbell.

I would have also given up Gardiner for a 7th rounder if one was available.

Well we all know oakland was out there, and I am sure a deal could have been worked out for the 25 pick remember all those teams out there scrambling to move up to get the best QB in the draft in Campbell.

Getting 3 #2's with 2 #1's is very realistic even in this draft, someone would have traded up to get Roger's or Williams at 9, and we know Oakland was out there.

Dan Cody is interesting I think he need's to put on some weight but I also think he will be a very good D-end within the next 3 years.

without speculating what trades the Skins could/could not have made...

I would have taken Shawne Merriman at 9, who is one of the best athletes in the draft, and Marlin Jackson at 25. It would have given us a huge pass rushing threat and the CB we needed. Mike Williams at 9 would have been decent as well, but i'm fairly happy with the Receiving corps as it is.

it's too bad Rodgers didn't fall one more pick...much rather have him over Campbell...

I was hoping Clayton would still be around at #25. Not that it would have mattered much anyway, seems like we were pretty set on Campbell.

we signed rabach, why would we waste a 1st on another center with other needs? that makes no sense.

we wouldnt have taken rodgers, they scouted campbell and they wanted campbell, not rodgers.
