R.W. McQuarters

I also noticed on the WP calendar that your birthday is a week before mine. Rock on October b-days. It's a special year for me, 24.

Well, not really. Just another year closer to 30! :(

Holy cow, I WILL be 30.

Anyway I normally really agree with your posts and I think that is why I love this site, because of good topically discussions.

I really think we had a pretty weak draft. I think we gave up a lot for the 25th pick (And if he is the next Culpepper then GREAT!) and we could have used a solid DE there with tat pick or used the first on a DE, or WR and picked up a good CB with the 25th.

I think WILDS is going to be a hell of a player. He almost shut down Moss last year.

Our WR are avg at best. We don't have to have a number 1 like Owens, Moss, or Holt, but I think we need role players in that position. Hopefully Taylor will pan out but that is a big "?"

I really hope you are right, I am glad we aren't overspending on players, but we have invested and will invest a lot of money in the QB position this year and while it is important we shouldn't have 2 first round QBs and Brunell sucking away all that $$$...

I do agree with what you say about the 25th pick. I definitely think we gave up a lot for Campbell. Draftwise I think we were average. OffSEASONwise I think we did a great job.

i like campbell. i don't care what we gave up for him though, because near the draft next year i don't i will hear a lot of complaints that we don't have a first rounder, that is, if the skins do good this season.

No way you give up what we did for that pick...

Also we had a OK offseason. We did sign depth but no real studs unless the center we signed will be big for us this year.

I am not saying I don't like Campbell. What I am saying is that we certainly had some choices and routes we could have gone with those 2 picks and I am not sure that we were effective in the draft this year. The pick I like the most is McCunes, considering where we took him and his upside.

I am glad out of the CB available that high we got Rodgers...

But we really could have use D line help and we didn't get it.

What I'm saying is based on what WAS available this offseason, we had one of the better offseasons in the league. Getting a stud doesn't define a great offseason. Prior to Gibbs coming back we had plenty of "studs" we took in the offseason and many would rate those as the poorest choices we could have taken. Could we have pursued Moss? Sure, but the price that would go along with him monetarily would have been great. Yes, we might have gotten a stud, but I don't think I would have categorized this offseason as great.

BUT, like I said before, it's VERY subjective. :)

Depth, depth and more depth.

With a D-line that can't be relied upon to generate much pressure on their own, it's critical that Williams has plenty of depth and versatility in his secondary. McQuarters would be a nice sign, plus he can return kicks.

Exactly Matty. I couldn't have said it any better.

No one is saying McQuarters is some stud. But, he'll add depth to a position that requires depth. Williams' system requires at least 3 solid corners (about half of his plays involve 3 CBs). With Rogers, Springs, Harris, McQuarters and youngsters Wilds and Brown, we've got a nice (but not too expensive) stable of corners.

We are NOT going to get him for the league minimum...........he is a player! and will demand a little bit of coin, McQuarters would be a starter right away on the defense!

Uhmm... Ok?

Nice overreaction. Didn't the press conference address other issues too?

Who said anything about the press conference?
