Round 5 Pick 5: Stefon Diggs, WR, Maryland
Round 6 Pick 6: Andy Gallik, C, Boston College
Round 7 Pick 5: Chucky Hunter, DT, TCU

not that that would be terrible, but good luck trading down once, let alone twice.

if MM is still there at #5 and the Eagles offered the Skins RT Lane Mathews, their 2015 1st round pick, and 2016 1st round pick and a 2nd round pick... do you think the Skins should do it?

I just don't think the Eagles are the team to move up...I would consider cleveland, buffalo, Titans and the jets as the most serious canidates for mariota.

I wouldn't have a problem with it myself.

If SM doesn't think the QB of the future is already on the roster and he has the chance to take a guy he thinks can be, just do it.

Keim as usual hits it on the head here

@john_keim RG3 & Mariota come from the same system. How on earth would that be an upgrade for the Redskins? #jkmailbag

John Keim: Good question. My initial thought a while ago was that Mariota would face a difficult adjustment, just like Robert Griffin III. It's not the exact same offense, but he certainly wasn't a traditional drop-back passer; then again neither was Andy Dalton when he arrived in Cincinnati with Jay Gruden. But this isn't about style, it's about personality and whether they feel Mariota can develop, because they're not confident that Griffin will. It's about a lot of the intangibles. People will scream about that and cry about some nonsensical bias, but just telling you the truth since, you know, I talk to people. If they felt Griffin would "get it" then this discussion would not be taking place. So the upgrade comes, honestly, from working with a different talented young quarterback. For what it's worth, I liked Griffin a lot more as a player coming out of college than Mariota. But I've talked to several in the NFL who like Mariota more -- nobody would have said that after 2012, but that's become a distant memory. Also: the two ACL surgeries have to be a factor for a guy who loves taking off from the pocket. Mariota is durable. The coaches do not view Griffin's failures as the result of playing in that offense. Ultimately that's the key.

I like Erving, however as a center, or guard. He started 2014 as a tackle, and struggled- then he was moved to center and was outstanding.

There are about 7 good OLB, there should be a good one in the 2nd round..... I like Beasley- not at #5 though

[NYCskinfan82]

Cam Erving (Ctr) trade back in 1st round
Eli Harold (OLB) 2nd round
Best(OT) 2nd round Flowers/Peat/Fisher someone's going to fall
Marcus Hardison (DT) 4th round

These are a few picks I would like.

If I had to guess, the pick right now is danny Shelton or fowler jr at 5. I think kevin white, randy Gregory and mariota are definitely in the conversation and under consideration.

How about an OLB to fill in Orakpo's void? With Paea, Knighton, Hatcher and Baker, they will pass on Shelton. They will go for Fowler or Ray unless Mariota or Leonard Williams are there

I don't think Mariota should be drafted in the first round let alone the top ten. He's a project that will not be ready to start week one. At this point this team can't afford to draft a read option qb. His pro day on confirmed that he's not a ready to be a pocket passer.I would be all for drafting Shelton at 5, but as you already pointed out, DL is no longer a need. With that 5th pick I'm going with either Vic Beasley or Shane Ray.

Chico you can start making sense any post now. Why on God's green earth would they take Shelton with Knighton already signed??

Well I think it's fowler jr or Shelton for his (McC) propensity to take large, big guys at their position. I think we see McC already making his first commitment to rebuilding the defense, especially up front. Now to think knighton on the 1 year deal is a cure all to the nt position is a little surprising. Dt/nt is a tough position to land in the draft and if McC thinks this guy can be a difference maker for years to come he will take him.

Lol Schneed I always enjoy the way u ask a questions

Certainly Williams would be in play if there, but all indications he will be gone in first 3 picks

So ... the latest twitter banter amongst the Skins' folks is that Scot likes Cooper at 5.

Thoughts?

BPA. I don't care what position. If cooper or White fall to five you have to consider them. OLB could be a gamer as well. I don't care what we do. In scott we trust I suppose.
