SkinsAllDay34 Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Yes its REALLY early but with the NFL season kicking off, college has started too. Now I am not doing this because I think we have a **** record and will have a top pick, just to see who y'all are looking at. So with that being said... Who are you targeting already? Who do you think we should go after?...I have already seen some Taylor Mays, Vontae Davis, and Aaron Kelly. Give a list of your top players at each position if you want.. Post videos of the players highlights if there are any... Just all that general stuff ... Again its early but, maybe this thread will be used over the coarse of the NFL season and College season, and come post-season things will get interesting again like the 2008 draft discussions...

SonOfWashington Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 James Laurinaitis from The Ohio State University. I would love for him to play for us if we do end up with a high draft pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BurgundyMalaise Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 One thing I KNOW I don't want us to do is take a safety w/ our 1st rounder. I'd like to see us take an OL (probably stud tackle), outside LB, or if they really feel there is close to a can't miss CB prospect. However, if I had my pref, we would sign a CB in free agency (NMANDI ASOMUGHA!!!) not a outside LB. Reason being the only decent free agent linebackers play 3-4 in the AFC North (Channing Crowder and Eric Barton). I guess what I'm saying is we need to draft a Tackle as early as we can, w/ our 1st or 3rd rounder if we don't like our options in the first round. (Note: I realize it's WAY too premature to be talking bout this, I'm in no way giving up on our season, but we have quite a road to pave ahead of us in terms of personnel to be an NFC power for years on end).

No Excuses Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Taylor Mays and Landry in the same secondary would be freakin awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Touchdown Redskins Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Wow there are so many prospects. Let's see. At CB, I'd say Vontae Davis and Malcolm Jenkins will be the top prospects; at OT, Michael Oher; and at LB, James Laurinaitis and Ray Maualuga. Those are probably the three positions we should be looking at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurgundyMalaise Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Taylor Mays and Landry in the same secondary would be freakin awesome. That's a bad first round pick in my opinion. We really need STUDS up front, which we don't really have. We need to get younger in the trenches on both sides of the ball. Yes, we have Monty and Golston, but Monty is the only one I am comfortable starting games w/. Mays is a great player, but not really a wise choice to use a first rounder w/ bcuz he is right now, a first round talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

expensivegift Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 LT Eugene Monroe from Virginia That was the guy that beat out Branden Albert for the LT job last year. Jansen and Samuels don't cut it anymore and we need an heir apparent. Heyer can take the right side. If we really suck this year then I want us to take Rey Maualuga. Yes London Fletcher has a good number of years in him but Maualuga is one of those can't miss prospects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2006Skins Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 I think we should focus significantly on the youth infusion on the oline. If we can spend two of the first three picks on oline, I think we can be set for a while on the oline with youth. Buges can teach these guys the tricks of the trade as the vets help out also (see Rinehart and Heyor). The dline need is so overblown imo. We have Wilson and James to rotate in the future at de, since the skins rotate plenty of dl already. I know it's not popular opinion, but I think the skins will really help their cause if they get a penetrating dt if they get a top 10 pick. I don't think the skins will go after a cb early, since they have Los and Smoot, both of which are on the right side of 30, but I do think they will spend another late pick on a cb for depth. I do think the skins will spend a 2nd or 3rd round pick on a game-breaking rb much like the Titans did with Johnson. The 1-2-3 punch of Portis, Betts and a speedy young back will be tough to gameplan for, especially in the WCO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldskool Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Whatever position we have in the 1st round next year I hope we trade back. We need starting caliber ROT, Center, and CB in next years draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Asomugha a free agent this season? Im pretty Sure Roy williams (reciever), is, I really wouldnt mind getting those two and drafting O line and D line. That would be amazing.

wwSEANd Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Draft OLine and Dline - all picks... amen! also, i feel like we're good enough everywhere that, should there be a *top* tier O- or D-line prospect available that we would need to trade up to get, we should pull the trigger. we had, imho, a very good draft this year and addressed our offensive weaknesses and other depth issues, but now we need some serious playmakers in the trenches. if those players include an inside-outside pass rusher (a la justin tuck) or a immovable object on the o-line (like herman johnson, the 386-pounder from LSU), all the better.

Im pretty Sure Roy williams (reciever), is, I really wouldnt mind getting those two and drafting O line and D line. That would be amazing. Asomugha is a FA next year, but I'd be willing to bet the Raiders tag him again if they don't work out a contract extension this year. And Roy Williams wouldn't be the smartest use of FA money, considering we just drafted 3 pass catchers this year and the jury is out on all of them. I'd much rather spend the money on a FA CB replacement for Springs or on depth on the lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking and another guy from Michigan State that jumps out as a speedy young explosive back is Javon Ringer. He rushed for over 1400 yards last year and this year is in a tough RB class. So if he is there in the 3rd,4th round. I wouldnt mind taking him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redman Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Rey Mauluga is going to go in the top 10, and while he's a freakin' beast (I watch a lot of USC games out here) that's not a pick I want us to spend on a LB. We need to draft D-line and O-line and CB. No more excuses. We have all the skill positions we could possibly want, and you can get good LB's later.

He is an UFA, he was last year as well but got franchised. This 2009 offseason, we should throw $$ at him. He's one that is worth is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tml6157 Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Great thread I wanted to start one but I thought it would get moved and nothing would become of it, anyway..... I think our biggest needs are CB, S, OLB, OT, OG, DT. CB: Surefire pick: If we go here first it has to be Vontae Davis if we are in a position to take him. A true man to man corner. He can be put on an island and excel. His knock is he might have a slight stiffness in his hips but that is something that can be fixed. Other then that his other intangibles are off the chart. He hits like a truck, has great speed, very very physical. He is the definition of what a "shutdown" corner is. He is the younger brother of Vernon Davis and he is a physical freak like his brother. To me he is compared to a cross between Bailey and Rivas. One plus is that Davis is an electric KR/PR as well. Not Hesteresque but still very above average. Highlights: Week one against Missouri going up against Macklin from Missouri, one of the nations top WR's http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASid1mu1B4c Last years bowl game McKnight breaks one loose and Davis comes out of nowhere and takes him down. His speed mix with his size would have any scout drooling. 1:11 into the clip you will find the play. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfxPbfLTxIY Unsure pick: This pick would have to be Malcolm Jenkins. He has all the athletic ability that Vontae Davis has but his major concern on our part is he most likely translates best as a cover 2 corner. Ohio State runs a primarily zone defense and Jenkins is excellent in it. Does that mean he cant excel as a man to man corner? No. But he isn't as battle tested and polished as he is with zone coverage. If you want a polished overall pick then go with Jenkins because some will argue that Davis is more raw then Jenkins. Jenkins is being compared to Talib and how he was a fit for only certain teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#98QBKiller Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 I like: Malcolm Jenkins (CB Ohio State): Big DB 6-1, 210 and runs a 4.3. Hits like a safety/LB can cover any WR, would be especially great for the big guys in our division like Plaz and TO. Phil Loadholt (OT Oklahoma) 6-8, 350 MONSTER of a tackle, excellent run blocker could be a franchise RT for over a decade Taylor Mays (FS USC) 6-3, 230 runs a 4.4 40. Best safety to come out of college since Sean Taylor. James Laurinaitis (ILB Ohio State) 6-3, 244 Team leader, 100 percent heart, complete package. Best ILB since Brian Urlacher.

tml6157 Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 The safety class is a REALLY deep one. The top of the class is very heavy with talent so if we could trade back and get a 2nd that we lost we could see some great talent still there. William Moore - Missouri Taylor Mays - USC Patrick Chung - Oregon Michael Hamlin - Clemson Courtney Green - Rutgers Rashad Johnson - Alabama David Burton - Notre Dame Kevin Ellison - USC Moore is a stud hands down. The comparison to Brian Dawkins v2.0 is right one. He is a ballhawk, hard hitter, and great run supporter. 115 tackles, 8 INT's, 9 TFL and 2 Sacks last season. Here is his highlights: Taylor Mays has all the potential in the world but he has to put it all together. If you want an incredible upside go with Mays. If you want a polished product go with Moore. Mays draws similar comparisons to Sean Taylor but is no where near that level yet but he could be eventually. He is built like a LB but runs a supposed 4.3 40. He may drop to the mid/late round 1 if he does not have a stellar season because he is so raw right now. A kid who has the potential to over take all the safeties is Patrick Chung from Oregon. This kid has ALL the tools you look for. He is another true ballhawk (recurring theme huh?) He covers a TON of space. He is quick and the term hits like a truck is an understatement with him. Check out this clip of him. Pay close attention to him (#15) at the INT where he is blocking on the return starting at the 1:00 mark. He lays out not one but TWO of Michigans big linemen on the return. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UAgUERW4VEg Also Chung is a great KR/PR prospect. With the horrible play by ARE at PR this is something that would add great value to a pick if we take him. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmP68LFXfYc&feature=related A dark horse player to keep a watch out for is Kevin Ellison. He plays along side Taylor Mays and they make up one of it not the best safety duo in the nation. With all the hype over Mays, Ellison goes mostly underrated but he is not slouch. He also lays a lot of wood. He is as quick as they come too. Im sure you all will like the following clips of Ellison: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
