chaught76 Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Um, maybe you didn't hear? This guy is from West Virginia. Yeah. And he, uh, punts sometimes. Which is cool, I guess. Schmitt is suggested by some of us because of his versatility. He has a experience as not only a FB but as a TE as well. He would not only be a perfect backup for Sellers, but could backup Cooley as well. His versatility is what makes him an option with our 3rd round pick; not because he played for WVU. For added discussion If we were looking for purely a backup fullback, why even use a late round pick on the position? Why not give Lorenzo Alexander a shot at being Sellers backup? He has certainly proven himself as a high-motor versatile player. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[[ghost]] Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 The members from WVU have seen him play more than anyone else. How many games have you watched of him? Or are you just regurgitating what Mel Kiper/Mike Mayock says? I've seen him play, not nearly as much as you, but I have. He's crazy as hell, but considering out far more important needs, he's not worth anything higher than a 4th, and even then, its a push. We would do better to draft depth on the line or DBs. Or perhaps another pass rusher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVUforREDSKINS Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 If we don't draft him then lets just hope the Cowboys or anyother nfc east team does. If we don't draft him then let's just hope teh Cowboys or another nfc east team doesn't thats better:) Anyone know what other teams are interested in taking a FB this year? :logo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick4 Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 ]']Not if your a WVU fan. Than Schmitt is worth the 2nd rounder. i'm a wvu fan and no fullback is worth taking in the 2nd even if it is the beast who breaks defenders facemasks. there are too many holes we need to fill before we worry about a fullback, especially when we have sellers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laxpunk2006 Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 I'm all for planning ahead but I think a FB would be a waste of a draft pick this year. Mike Sellars is performing at a high level and still have a few years left in him. Very few teams carry back up fullbacks and a replacement could be taken off the street if necessary. With needs at backup G, C, T, DT, LB, CB, and S, I think we just have more "future" needs than fullback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
