Re: Database Update: Consensus Projections, DE, OT, and LB ranking links
 

Not 100% positive, but I believe that in addition to the aforementioned Andre Smith and Brian Orakpo we also met with Jarron Gilbert, Alex Mack, and Max Unger this weekend

Good stuff. I said it before, with the depth at D-line/O-line/LB in this draft, it would be ideal IMO to trade down for multiple picks.

Detroit is the team the Skins (and everyone else) should be hoping to get a call from. If Detroit wanted to move up for someone like Orakpo ... or a QB if they pass on Stafford for some reason ... then we could squeeze them for picks 20, 65, and 129. That works by the value chart (within 7 points ... which would be a low 7th if you wanted to make it totally even). Probably would mean passing on a tackle, but you could then target a guy like Unger at 20.

Or Alex Mack. Detroit might go for it since they need a QB and o-line help. Of course as you say they might want someone like Orakpo too with such a bad defense and Swartz being a defensive minded coach. I think this would be our best scenario.

I feel that there is enough o-lineman talent this year that we could pick up a good tackle or guard in the lower part of the first round.

Mack can play center or guard. :)

[quote=Nflnick11;528636]Andre smith is dropping his draft stock right now, if he falls to us we unquestionably have to get him, he can play guard or tackle[/quote]

i do not want players who do not live, breathe and think football. i do not know the specifics of andre smith's decision but i can make an inference from this as a fan that this guy doesnt have the drive and focus to be an NFL professional.

give me 52 london fletcher mentality players. a team playing as a team will beat a team of more athletic but individual interested players every time.

i want guys that are hungry for contact, that love the game and everything is takes to get ready to play.

go skins!!

I get the feeling that this kid has been given a lot of bad advice regarding this whole issue with the combine.
