Re: Draft: Need vs. Best Player
Maybe the best thing for the redskins right now is some simplicity. And the simple choice is picking out of "need", which is defensive line and more specifically at defensive end.
Hopefully, the redskins don't have another archuletta year at strong safety and the defensive end that is drafted is able to spark some pash rush. |

Re: Draft: Need vs. Best Player
All of this Draft/Trade/Briggs/Lemar/Betts/Gaines/CJ/Quinn talk is givin me a f****** headache. I am going to have to stop reading this forum for a couple of weeks. Drink myself into a coma and back to sobriety again, wake up on April 30th to watch the draft only to realize that "holy crap we did draft a DE!" You guys are killing me with speculation. By the way, Smootsmack, how long did it take you to change back to Smootsmack from TAFKAS? I wasn't here for that.

Re: Draft: Need vs. Best Player
It's been said before, but the Lions ignored need, and drafted the "best player available" with Charles Rogers, Roy Williams and Mike Williams.
You cannot ignore your needs. |

Re: Draft: Need vs. Best Player
best available players thinking is what a lot of teams do. The redskins did that with campbell and i believe he will evolve into a great QB. As far as need i firmly believe we have a great need for a de/dt . Okoye for me is the best available and need all rolled into one pick. He has the biggest upside to him. He's only going to get bigger and better ,considering is only 19! So for all its worth that is what i believe we should do.

Re: Draft: Need vs. Best Player
The purpose of the draft IMO is to make a conscious effort to improve your team in area's of need, therefor I believe that drafting accordingly is imperative.
I think the Redskins have identified their needs on the DL but have not targeted a particular player whom they feel is really worth what it will cost to sign at #6. Knowing their propensity to be driven by the ideology of FA's & veteran players, any player that suites our need on the DL whether it be DT/DE is unproven and therefore a reach. We obviously recognize the need for defense, thus the consideration of the potential Briggs trade though it would not surfice our needs up front. Because of the Redskins philosophy in reference to aquiring players, I am always skeptical when it comes to young players, that's why it's difficult for me to embrace the concept of trading down. They haven't demonstrated that they will utilize the young players they draft that are not top ten selections.

Re: Draft: Need vs. Best Player
drafting a player based on a need works well in a perfect world....i say you draft the best player available when you pick. Regardless of position.

Kinda useless when you have Campbell there. They are both going to be good QBs in a year or two, but you can only play one.
