What would you do with the 13th pick, use it or traded it.

Still, that's no reason to pass up the opportunity to draft a potential starter in the 1st round.

As long as it's not Cushing ill be fine with whomever

Emmitt? Low blow guys, low blow. No I was referring to Alex Mack. I don't think he's going to fall to the second round. Someone is going to snag him up. This guy is going to be sought after by a lot of teams.

Once I traded it, I'd probably try to use it.

I don't get it? It doesn't end with a question mark?

I must be. I usually don't miss things like that.

My biggest concern w/ trading out of the 13th overall is missing out on true 1st round talent. My biggest fear going into the draft is Vinny trading out of the 1st round completely... if this is the only trade scenario available we ought to stay at 13 IMO.

I think I'd like to see us trade down to later in the first if possible. Of course it takes two to dance and we'd need to get another pick that could give us starter level talent. To me a later 1 and 3 could offer us two picks to get starters and if we evaluate talent well then there's a good chance that an OLinemen we take with one of them would be better than one of the "top" ones we are looking at now. If we could trade down to the low 20's maybe Mack is there and then we can take a more project like RT in the 3rd?

It's probably too risky if the Skins expect to get a starter in a position of need in the 1st Round. We're lucky to be at #13 because there won't be many "sure things" beyond that point.

You are talking about dropping 7 or 8 slots. That's a lot when you consider that some of the intervening teams have similar needs to our own.

True that...

If we move out of the top 15 it will be harder to find someone who can start and make a difference at the position. We know all too well that talent after the 1st round can take some time to develop.

We need a starter so we're almost relegated to picking at 13th overall to find someone to make an impact.

SO at that point who would be the players available that would make the biggest impact this season?

Any of the OL at the top of the draft could make a play to start over Jansen and Heyer. That's where the impact on our team could be made....and OLB.

Like the idea, but if we're going to spend a pick on a guy who is viewed as more of a project (i.e. not as good), better make it someone who will eventually step in for Samuels at LT.

There are no "sure things". I would venture a guess that linemen in the later part of the first round are as successful as those taken in the teens on average. Tripp could probably speka more to that. It's not like there is no talent past the top 15. There are probably 4 or 5 pro bowlers in the second half of the 1st and on. Historically that is.
