Drafting a guard in the first round.

We suck all over the place. Draft the BPA. Plain and simple.

This. We have too many holes to focus on one position. Start piling up as many talented young men as you can and sift through the poor ones. In my opinion every position could use a talent infusion so whatever position they draft I just want quality players who will be here long term.

Correction. There was a guard drafted in the 1st in 2014 and it was the Dallas Cowboys when they drafted Zack Martin.

He was listed as a tackle when he was drafted.

True. He also made the Pro Bowl as a guard. If the Skins were to draft an OG at #5 who then made the Pro Bowl, would that be good pick? Just asking.

If Mariota slips to us at #5, trading down at that point could be very rewarding. QB desperate teams with a lot of picks like Cleveland two picks in the top 20 could make interesting trade partner.
Then we pick schref.

That would be awesome! If that were to happen, I think SM would take full advantage of a trade partner.

Here's a thought: What if Mariota is on the board at #5 and we take him?

One more thought: I saw a recent photo of Jameis Winston with his shirt off. He has gained bad weight and looks soft in the middle. Will teams fear that he'll go "Jamarcus Russell" on them, causing Mariota to be drafted before Winston?

Eeeek.....
If we drafted Mariota this message board would be a freakin zoo at feeding time.

Rumor has it the Eagles and Jets have a deal in place to send Mariotta to Philly at 6 if he's there. Not only does that give teams incentive to hop up to 5 if they want a QB, it also lets us shaft over Philly... That would make me soooo happy.

Except I am giddy with excitement that Philly might make a trade the farm deal for Mariotta. I watched enough of him this year to come away with the impression that he's a QB I want a rival to sell out for.

Could this be the ultimate 2015 draft scenario for a Skins fan? That would make me chuckle in my sleep. Heh-heh.

I am not a fan of us spending another top 5 pick on another Qb at this time. Plus Martiota looks like a systems guy, and that system is not the pro system we will be running. That would be a mistake for us to take him. He would be another project that is years away if he played in our pro system.
As everyone knows we have basic fundamental needs, OL, DB, Pass rush needs that need to be addressed BEFORE we take yet another Qb high in the draft.
I have a hunch one of our 3 QB's will pan out well enough to get us winning again if surrounded by a good team. Which means patching those huge holes in our starting lineup. i feel like we will get the biggest bang for our buck by getting a RT, OG, FS and CB. That will go along way (farther) then getting Mariotta and watching him get killed behind a terrible O-line. We have to fix the O-line and DBackfield. That is the #1 priority in my opinion.
