CapitalDefense Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 I would rank 2 other LB's ahead of Jackson, the ones that are projected 2nd-3rd rounders. Rocky McIntosh, Miami – McIntosh is an every down player at the next level, who’s flashed the quickness and strength at Miami to excel at all three linebacker spots. He plays the game very fast and very physically, making his presence felt even when he’s not in on a tackle. Thomas Howard, UTEP – The casual fan doesn’t know Howard, but the pro scout does. In fact, BLESTO, the NFL scouting consortium, currently has him ranked as the No. 2 outside linebacker in this year’s senior class. The lofty placement is a product of Howard’s kick returner speed in a solid, 6-3 and 240-pound package. D’Qwell Jackson, Maryland - Jackson possesses sharp instincts and good range in pass coverage, but at just 6-0 and 225 pounds, he is undersized as an NFL linebacker. He’s an emotional athlete, who possesses above average speed and a non-stop motor. McIntosh has the versatility that GW loves....Howard may have move into the late 1st with his amazing workouts.

Matt [Redskins Fan] Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 Somebody needs to get hit in the teeth for naming their kid D'Qwell. No wonder he turned to violence to pay the bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoyaSkins28 Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 Lets take MaCintosh, you have to trust that Miami LB's are going to be great. Just think of some of them. Just to name two, Ray Lewis and Jonathon Vilma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Extreme Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 kiper is a toolbag in my opinion. i have never liked the guy, and din't bother to read his article. i'm sure i saved valuable time in doing that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDSKINS STOMP Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 The Skins should do what the can to get Demeco Ryans from Alabama. The more I read about the guy, the more I think he will be a star and could start for GW right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redman Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 A couple of late thoughts here that probably have already been said by somebody in this thread, but no matter. First of all, the hole in our D-line has been a pass rush. I happen to believe that the signing of Carter fixed that, but we'll see. Second, the reason for Marshall not to move back to his more natural WLB position has less to do with talent at MLB and more to do with the fact that we can't have an inexperienced player at the MLB position acting as the QB of the defense. Marshall is not a "playmaker". He's a competent guy who works hard to be in position and to make sure that everyone's in position to fulfill their responsibility. He's not quite as good as Antonio Pierce was in that regard unfortunately, but he's certainly adequate for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to name two, Ray Lewis and Jonathon Vilma. DJ williams isnt bad either. i read rocky's bio on the miami website and one year he played middle linebacker and strong side linebacker. the guy is very versatile and has experience all over the field. i cant see how we pass on him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enter Apotheosis Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 Ray Lewis, Jonathan Vilma, DJ Williams, Rocky McIntosh... If GW gets his hands on Rocky that's a VERY threatening group of LBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimFolk Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 DBs and Keith Bulluck.It's one thing for a top 10 defense to start a 2nd round rookie at LB, but it's another thing to plan on using a that pick to use on a starting LB no matter what happens in the draft. Tell that to Marvin Lewis and Odell Thurman And Mike Holmgren and Lofa Tatupu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[[ghost]] Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 jackson in the second would be great. but after that, we'd better stock up on corners.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPstretch Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 i think we will sign jamar fletcher AND kenny wright which will make the draft just for depth. we should see a CB signing next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GIBBSisGOD Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 I think if D'Qwell drops to us than we should definetly take him but I don't think he'll get that far. We should seriously consider taking another corner as everybody's been saying like griffin and maybe try to pick up a linebacker like a.j. nicholson of florida state in a later round to fill that spot. I love nicholson's abilities and his off-field issues will make him drop. But i have heard that he isn't bad like all of his charges have made him look. Just a though ...

cphil006 Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 our D-Line is solid, but we do need help at LB, I like Rocky MacIntosh and D'Qwell Jackson, we could get either a MLB or OLB, because Lemar Marshall can play either one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoudMouth12thMan Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Man it's interesting to hear some of you guy's opinions on the needs of the defense. I agree with Kiper since he is the quintessential draft expert that we could use depth at CB or LB. DL holes? :doh: Try OL holes. I think we are more than okay at DL IMO. HTTR!
