Jofizz Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 http://msn.foxsports.com/fantasy/story/5388206 Off-season lowdown: Mock draft 54. Washington Redskins: RAY EDWARDS, DE, Purdue - The Redskins have a need at linebacker, but will be willing to take a risk with their first pick. Edwards is skilled, but a problem child. Interesting. Height: 6-6 Weight: 270 Rated 5 out of 149 DE's Here's some information on his combine and other stats: http://www.nfldraftscout.com/ratings/profile.php?pyid=12552 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skins84 Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Everyone will say since he's a problem child that he isn't a Gibbs guy and we won't draft him... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jofizz Posted March 8, 2006 Author Share Posted March 8, 2006 Everyone will say since he's a problem child that he isn't a Gibbs guy and we won't draft him... I think it's worth a risk..Sean Taylor isn't exactly Gibbs' little angel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elkabong82 Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Free agency hasn't even started yet. Why would foxsports bother doing a mock draft? The teams could easily fill needs in FA before entering the draft. I guess it's like putting up x-mas stuff before thanksgiving. I don't get it, but people are going to do it anyway.

DieselPwr44 Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 I think it's worth a risk..Sean Taylor isn't exactly Gibbs' little angel. Sean Taylor had no off-field issues before he was drafted. If he did have off-field issues, Gibbs and Co. would've never have drafted him to begin with. If it's true that this Purdue DE is already a problem child(and Gibbs and staff will know), then I doubt you'd see him drafted. Character first........

jawa Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Ray Edwards is a beast had he stayed in school he would have gone in the first round next year. The guy has all the tools. Wouldn't mind this selection at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilclarke Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 I think it's worth a risk..Sean Taylor isn't exactly Gibbs' little angel. I think he may become Gibb's little angel if he's acquitted of the gun charges. I think Taylor's smart enough to know if he gets out of this situation in Miami, he's got to start using his head better and become a "model citizen" in both Gibb's and the Redskins' eyes....

Jofizz Posted March 8, 2006 Author Share Posted March 8, 2006 It would really be a nice change to take a fresh young DE in the draft. I think with some work on behavior issues, he would fit nicely on the skins line. Great speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPstretch Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 mock drafts won't take true shape until after free agency begins and most teams take care of most of their needs. but this guy sounds good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

portis&taylor Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 A better chocie in my eyes would be d'qwell jackson tho because arrington is gone and this guy might be a merriman clone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant15fromNJ Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 He seems to be what we need a pass rushing defence end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FootballGuy2677 Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 If were gonna draft defense with that pick i woul like us to pick up Roger McIntosh from Miami, Daryll Tapp from Virginia Tech, or Cedric Griffin from Texas. Ray Edwards would be interesting though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cskin Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Not a chance in hell... geez... don't you guys remember anything about Gibbs' criteria for "his guys". Character is first.... FIRST.... meaning it's the FIRST THING HE LOOKS FOR IN A PLAYER. That's the first thing he's going to see in Edwards.... which is why he's going to look in another direction. Example...if Gibbs has the choice to draft Edwards or a guy who has great character, work ethic, and coachability... who do you think he's going to choose? It's the character guys on our team that just got us under the salary cap? It's the character guys who picked us up and got us six wins in a row to reach the playoffs. It's not guys with great talent that may or may not walk the straight and narrow once they're given the money. Gibbs' doesn't take chances like that. Someone is going to bring up Manley or someone else.... which would be totally irrelevant. Different era.... different kind of football.... different kids. Gibbs will go with the SAFE pick every time over potential with character flaws. End of discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jofizz Posted March 8, 2006 Author Share Posted March 8, 2006 Cskin, I'm not saying this is a done deal, I'm just throwing it out there. I think it would be nice to draft a young DE this year. This just happens to be one of the best candidates that would probably still be available when we're on the clock. If givin the chance to play for a hall of fame coach, I think it's possible he can clean up his act and join a promising organization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cgray88 Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 http://www.fortwayne.com/mld/newssentinel/13968972.htm Purdue defensive standouts Bernard Pollard and Ray Edwards, both early entries for the NFL draft, are glad to have left behind their problems with the Boilermaker coaching staff.Well, not completely behind. The close friends are at the NFL Scouting Combine facing questions about their past issues with authority. Edwards couldn't keep his starting job, but he did bring lots of drama to that program this year. Most of it directed at the coaching staff. Thats why he's leaving early. Don't think that will fly around here. :2cents: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsNorth Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 He would fit the mold as he is one of the only full-sized ends in teh draft. I think the 2nd is atleast a round too high for him though. Edwards would be a good 3rd round choice IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvoSkins Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Don't like this mock draft. They have Cutler being picked 2nd overall before Leinart. Most likely he will go between 7 and 15. They have Detroit taking Vernon Davis. With all the weapons Detroit has, who will throw the ball? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JazzConcert Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 They have deangelo williams after moroney...thats crap. I could see us drafting a TE or LB (again no DE this year) this means the hometown boy dquell or possibly Fasano who would be a great compliment to cooley....imagine that one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceman330 Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 I think it's worth a risk..Sean Taylor isn't exactly Gibbs' little angel. Yep. And make no mistake, that Gibbs may tolerate certain off the filed problems, ie Taylor, Manley... but will not tolerate locker-room or player vs the team fights in the media type problems. So, it depends on what is meant by "problem child." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
