OH MAN, that's what I thought last year when we ended up with a couple 2nd rounders....then they spent them on redundant WR and TEs that have shown zero....how the hell do you go 0-3 with 2nd rounders....
Sorry for venting....but any talk of our draft picks right now leaves me uninspired to say the least....how hard is it to draft Dlinemen? LBs? Olinemen worth a crap?

Will our FO ever learn or do we have to hope for a complete collapse so we can hope for Parcells to come in for 1 year and fix it?

Everyone said....awesome...10 picks...they finally get it....then they screw em all up but get lucky with Horton as a 4th safety....they turn around and trade a 2nd and 6th away for a very old Jason Taylor....I was even ok with it at the time...but boy....the FO moves last season sure look crappy now.
I hold very little hope for offseason moves this year...I completely expect the Skins to do something splashy to screw us for years to come.

Yes according to NFL.com the 'Skins do draft #13 overall not #14. We need a big pickup with this pick on either line this year!!

Eugene Monroe would be a good pick for us. I think he's projected top 10 but you never know how the draft will go.

Not really, cus Vinny says things like, "It's bad to just draft a need, you have to take best available..."

That's horse crap. If the best available player is a tight end, than why take a tight end when you have Chris Cooley and you just drafted Fred Davis.

Why not combine the two philosophies and take bet available of the needs you have!

Take the best available OL with our first pick, or trade it for more.

Last year we had a pick somehwere in the 20's and got two second rounders for it, so I think a 13th pick could get us more than that.

I woould like to keep the pick, and find someway to get more picks through a trade. Find some idiot to take Randle El for a 4th rounder.

Rey Maluauga LB USC

I don't think we should trade down. Hopefully, one of those stud OTs will drop to us at 13, which is highly likely. Michael Oher, I've been waiting for you. Otherwise, there will still be some great, potential star talent at 13. The aforementioned Rey Maluauga LB USC, Taylor Mays S USC, Vontae Davis CB ILL, Brian Orakpo DE TX, and BJ Raji DT BC. #13 is a pretty high pick that we should try to cash in with.

Yeah, I think you have to be a good judge of talent. You can take the best available and ignore your needs if the guy is really worth it and can be a game changer. You shouldn't be bound by your needs, but I don't think always taking the "best available" is a good strategy. And how was Justin Tryon the best available player when the Skins chose him?

Oh, and Philip Merling, who VC claimed wasn't panning out for the Phins, had a pretty big play in that Jets game.

if there is no change in the front office such as Vinny gets fired and hiring a new GM, this team will be 5-11 next year!!!!!!!!!!!!!
