rubynj Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Id be fine with any of those picks except tyson jackson and Ayers at the 13th spot. If RAK isn't there,I wouldn't mind Everette Brown.The defense needs this chance to grab an elite pass rusher,to not only justify the Haynesworth signing but to start getting shorter fields for our offense. I hope they trade back to get brown,hopefully aquiring another 3rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JVSkins n Hokies Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 hype goes a long way. here's to hoping Orakpo falls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebornempowered Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Not too much to argue with there. Give us someone who weighs more than 270 lbs. and will require a high number and I am a happy man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hitmandm Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 I want the OLTs. Oher or Smith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destructis Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 hype goes a long way. here's to hoping Orakpo falls He won't fall. We won't get one of the OT's either. My feeling is that one of two things will happen. We will take the best DE out there left available or move up to grab Sanchez. I used to get excited about the draft. With all the Sanchez stuff this year, I feel like it's splitting the team from the ownership and hurting the Skins in the long run. I am at the point that I just want all the draft stuff to be over. I do think it will be one of the more interesting drafts in recent years, but that will be because of a lot of trading this year. After the first 5 spots, I don't think many teams will be in their original draft order. Lot's of current players out there on the trading block this year. I think it is going to have a pretty big effect on the draft. I plan on planting myself on the couch at 3:55 PM on Saturday and watching it until it goes off in HD.

Capt Rich Fla Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 I'm strting to lean towards the guy from LSU. Orakpo's weight is starting to scare me. If he can't take roids he may slip off to nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smith2nr Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 I think I would rather have a good pass rusher like Maybin or Ayers. Tyson Jackson is a beast who is great at shutting down the run, but he's not very good at getting to the quarterback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the same thing...but still wanna draft the guy. Warped I know, they said that when he came in as a freshman he was between 160 and 170lbs. Something is going on there to add that much weight in 3 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsdude Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 In the first version Matt Pitzer has us taking Jeremy Maclin and in the second version, Darrius Heyward-Bey. A receiver? With the 13th pick? :whoknows: Glad to see that in 3.0 he finally did a little research on the subject and found out that we do not need anymore receivers and that we need O-lineman.

santana_4_prez Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 I think it's crazy how it seems like every mock draft has us picking some one different...I've never seen it so wide open. I can't wait until Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has there ever been any sort of rumor or accusation or test even indicating that he was doing any steroids? Just because he had the frame to put on a bunch of muscle and worked his ass off in the weight room to do it doesn't mean he was juicing. And as far as Tyson Jackson...I think he projects more as a 3-4 DE. The only thing he would really provide us is run stopping. We would be drafting a younger Phillip Daniels at #13 overall.

mistertim Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 doesn't have a fast first step off the snap...unlike Maybin Yeah, it is interesting...Orakpo, Brown, and Maybin all have specific things that make them stand out. Orakpo has the raw strength and closing speed. Brown has some amazing pass rush moves and anticipation. Maybin has an elite first step. What to do, what to do.

Never4get#21 Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 We have to hope that Detroit takes Stafford 1rst. Then hope Seattle takes Sanchez 4th, so are FO doesnt trade away our future for Sanchez. Then we have to pray that Erakpo falls to #13. Sounds far fetched. If Rak falls then it's a no brainer. If not I hope we go RT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dah-Dee Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Neither is Ayers. Exactly. Jackson had more than twice as many sacks in his 4 years as Ayers (19.5 vs. 9), and the same number of tackles for loss (31.5). As far as pass-rushing goes, Jackson is a lot closer to Orapko (22 career sacks), Brown (23) and Maybin (16) than he is to Ayers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
