Espn's take on the Redskins 2007 draft needs.

It seems like every article I read says the Briggs deal could still happen. This is not the vote of confidence I envisioned for Rocky this year. Glad Holdman's gone, though.

Tick,Tock. I agree with most points, potent 1-2 punch in backfield.

Dock was the weak link, and got overpayed. Not to sure about Fletch losing a step, his stats don't reflect a MLB that's lost a step. Good depth at corner is now established.

And IMO DE should be our primary focus, followed by a DT.

Good depth has yet to be determined. Remember Smoot got cut for a reason. He played on the worst pass defense in the NFL and then he got benched. Carlos has not played very well. Springs might not be here and if he is can he stay on the field. And this new guy Macklin, well I don't know anything about him.

On paper our corner back situation is certainly improved over last year.

all true and all good points but i'll say this , smoot played pretty good in greg williams system and i would hope he will again. smoot did not "fit in" the minn. defense, they play the tampa two. smoot should be the skins #3 cb (maybe #2)
carlos was thrust into the #1 spot and he clearly was not ready for it but i do think he learned plenty while being the #1 guy and i think he will rebound nicely this year and be the #2 guy (maybe #3)
springs is definately a question mark. if he stays and if he's healthy he will be the teams #1 cb and IMO he's a top 5 corner when healthy.
i don't know much about macklin either but a few teams offered him more money than the skins so i'm guessing he's a pretty good corner.
overall i think the skins are in good shape in the cb area.

So out of Champ Bailey, Nate Clements, Chris McAlister, DeAngelo Hall, and Antoine Winfield -- which of these guys isn't as good as Shawn Springs?

4 or 5 years ago Springs might have made it into the top five, but even in tip-top shape, he doesn't quite make it today.

I agree with you though, our secondary is as good as it's going to get. We're set there -- but let's wait to see if the coaching staff agrees.

i'd take a healthy springs over nate,deangelo and antonio, those 3 guys are good but springs is just as good as them.
champ and chris are better though.

Ugh, this article reiterates that the Briggs deal could still happen. I'm gonna reiterate that I hope it doesn't (unless we also get a 3rd rd pick).

And I would really like to see us trade with Atlanta for their 8th pick so they can move up and get Landry, we could get Okoye at 8 and pick up the Falcons 3rd round selection.

Shouldn't this thread be in the draft forum?

Why would Atl. move up to pick Laundry? He should be sitting there by the time they pick. Don't you think?

I have heard some draft analysts say that if Brady Quinn is off the board the Vikings could take Landry at 7. Moving up to 6 would pretty much guarantee ATL could get him.

There is no way we should do anything until draft day. I think our pick might interest a lot of people if the picks fall the right way. We could drop a few picks and still get a really good D-lineman. There is also an outside chance that Quinn could fall as low as 9-10, like Matt Leinart did last year.
