Commander Adama Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 lmao - that's what I was thinking. as one movesd own the ladder discovery skills for finding talent become more important. why should anyone believe the Skins have these skills when drafting is a process they don't really accept as a value adding process? Because even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjfootballer Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 CP and the #6 to Cleveland for the #3? Probably the most rediculous thing I've ever read in here. In that scenerio, we get Raped again!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veretax Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Yeah CP and our 6 to move up is bad maybe if cleveland gave up a 2nd or 3rd I'd consider it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morneblade Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Why would we be moving up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veretax Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 For one, (CJ aside for a moment), what if some other player is coveted by the team, maybe one of those Dline men. Trading up might be the only way to ensure the best value for that one pick we have in the first round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjfootballer Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Sorry, I'm at work and have been ducking in and out of here all day. This has been a very interesting day of debate amongst who we will be selecting. Oh great, now the fire alarm when off. Well, I work in a hospital, so at least I don't have to go rushing out the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trading up might be the only way to ensure the best value for that one pick we have in the first round. Well, I dont see it in our best interest to trade up for anyone when we are sitting at #6. There are 3 top D lineman that could help the team, and Im pretty sure that if we stay at #6, we'll get one. But what if everyone drafts D? Well we get a obviously hightly sought offensive player, which we can then trade down with. Also, because none of the defensive players have been really slobbered over by the media or other teams (basically, no position-changing players here) I'm pretty certain that one of them will fall to us without needing to move. For instance I think Branch is ranked like #20 on the board, I dont see another team moving up and taking him. Not when you got a kid Like Okoye who might actually pan out to bea much better player in the long run looking to go in the low teens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregpeck99 Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 I'm afraid Okeyoe is getting so much buzz he will move into the top 10 ... If that occurs ... the Skins should nab him at 6 if CJ and Quinn are gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CommDownMan Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Exactly. That's why, if Calvin Johnson falls, we trade down, ASAP.But, I mean, really, is he going to fall down? The Raiders might need Wideouts, the Bucs want one, bad, and you never know what the Lions are going to do. On the off chance he does, we need to trade with the Pats, Chiefs, or Titans. The more and more I think about it, if Jow Thomas is already taken, I can see the Cardinals trading down with someone (if CJ is there) to get extra picks themselves and OT Levi Brown. They could use D, but another solid OL and an extra 2nd would be a big possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fansince62 Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 this may be from left field......but anyone wanna bet that if CJ fell to us we'ld be hearing from the Falcons? - need - in state I know...far fetched...but possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone like Landry. If he somehow slips I could maybe see the 49ers take an interest in him. Thats just speculation on my part though. Booo speculation.

NVskinsfan Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 We need to concentrate on the DL and draft 1 player and get a couple more for depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bornforbattle Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 freeney is franchised right? so that should be out of all of your equations when it comes to drafts/fa for the d line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormy Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Well, this thread sucked. My apologies. I'll be more succinct next time. I thought the premise, content and conclusions of your original post were all stellar. It's not your fault that an insightful post devolved so quickly. Good analysis and a nice, and humorous, group of alternate takes on conventional approaches to our pick at #6. :applause: And yet despite the unorthodox takes, the informed consensus remains that we must draft one of the elite, available DLs at that spot (though I would argue that in order to truly address the needs of our scheme and personnel, that it must be either the 2-gap DT (Branch), or the dual pass rush/run stuff threat DE (Anderson)). Good post, armada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
