Dukes and Skins Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 True, and that's the one spot which is wishful thinking. I suppose Iloka would be a good substitute. Iloka will be gone before the 4th IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elkabong82 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 And sorry to some folks, but Stephenson lasting until 4th is a pipe dream. ---------- Post added April-22nd-2012 at 07:39 PM ---------- Iloka will be gone before the 4th IMO probably. safety market is razor thin.

Dukes and Skins Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 More so the fact he's going to be overdrafted based on potential not what he's really done. He's talented, but his hips are stiff and he struggles at times. What is too? a FS or a SS? A lot of question marks with him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PilarVIRUS Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I'm not sure about this Offensive Linemen class, it just doesn't seem rich enough for the Redskins to start picking up random OL'men at the third round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hopeful for a couple OL picks, but w/ this draft class and Shanny's system I wouldn't be surprised if we only take 1. CB and WR seem to be deep this year so I'm thinking we grab one of each in the draft. CB is a need and giving RG3 as many playmakers as possible is a solid strategy we started in free agency and likely will continue at some point in the draft as we keep looking to replace vets. ---------- Post added April-22nd-2012 at 08:00 PM ---------- Compared to some of the 3rd and 4th round picks? Iloka seems to have more question marks than others True. We may have to reach if we really want a safety, or trade down, but mid-late 4th Phillip Thomas out of Syracuse may be our pick if we are dead set on getting Raheem Morris another safety to work with, and I've seen mocks with us taking him early 5th. But, I don't think most mocks take account for the likely run on safeties given the thin FA and draft markets and the growing passing league trend.

Yeah, I would like if they picked at most they should pick one players for each position of need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elkabong82 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Yeah, I would like if they picked at most they should pick one players for each position of need. I'm more in favor of best player available, so long as it addresses some need. I think prioritizing based off of need leads to pigeon-holing and neglects better players. For example, if safety is deemed a greater need than WR, but a WR on the board is consensus best available, I'd go WR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitman21ST Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Compared to some of the 3rd and 4th round picks? Iloka seems to have more question marks than others Would you say Taylor is a safer pick than Iloka? Something I found ironic about LSU's safeties this past year: they had a Taylor and a Reed. Granted, they're not Miami's Taylor and Reed, but I thought it was interesting, especially since we might be getting another Taylor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor translates better to the NFL right now and is more of a pro ready player. Watch the film on Iloka and Taylor and you see a complete difference between the two. One is ready to play in the NFL, the other needs 2 years before they are truly ready Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rufus T Firefly Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I would like to see a trade down or two. But assuming no trades: 3. Mitchell Schwartz T/G (Sanders if he's gone) 4.

Rufus T Firefly Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Hardin just might be going top 100 now the hype on him is going through the roof It's starting to. He's really the one guy I want most in this draft. And that's not based on late hype, I've wanted him for a while. I'd probably try to trade down in the 3rd and then get him. If he went in the interim, that would be a shame, but c'est la vie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epochalypse Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I could say the same about you and Boykin touche I'm changing my 6th rounder and adding a 7th for this thread. My Redskins 2012 Draft 1 Robert Griffin III QB, Baylor 3 Brandon Boykin CB, Georgia 4 Senio Kelemete OG, Washington 4 James-Michael Johnson ILB, Nevada 5 Andrew Datko OT, Florida State 6 Devon Wylie WR, Fresno State 7 Bryan Anger P, California I think the one we have the least chance of getting is actually the punter. If Boykin is indeed gone as Dukes says, I can see Casey Hayward instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
