JWB Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Considering how tight the Skins are with James Andrews, I wouldn't be too concerned if we went with CK. Hoping for Su a filo though. Never want to see chester on the line again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkthepresident Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Why would they be interested in a player with knee concerns? I'll be pissed if he's the pick. He has a ton of talent and is a great run blocker. He'd be a day 1 starter at RT and be a huge upgrade over Polumbus. Knees on a big guy like him though scares me. Su'a-Filo for me is the safest pick in this draft. He's just great, but he can only play guard so that hurt his value a little bit when compared to guys like Martin who can play pretty much every OL position. Pure guards (he can play a little tackle, but he's going to be a G) have become undervalued as of late and this was just a stacked draft at other positions, so he slid.

nemocystem Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 We're definitely not in a bad position. I'm slightly bent that Buc, & Ward are gone. ..I didn't see that coming, though I was worried it would. Still...I don't see how we pass up Su'a Filo, or Bitonio. I love Bitonio's versatility on the line, but I didn't expect Filo to fall to us. I know we've made "upgrades" at the G spot, but either guy steps in day 1 as a starter. Heck, if you like Polombus in camp better than you like anyone at G, you could start Bitonio there. All that said...I'm shocked that Hageman is still available too. Same for Nix, Jernigan, & Tuitt. Van Noy is still there, & same with Borland. Gosh...I would totally be happy with a trade back if it goes down. Or if we can trade KC for a late 3rd (dunno who with at this point...KC maybe?). We could still land 2 important players. Man...Marquise Lee, & Jordan Matthews still available too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIKKI8 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Skins Draft Room.. Please stay away from Kouandijio and trade down.. We all know that teams covet the top of the second round almost more than the middle of the 1st round.. We need so many positions.. Don't gamble out top pick on knees dedicated to yet another surgeon.. Get that extra 3rd or 4th to trade down in the 2nd round. Moses, Turner, Bitonio, maybe even Filo will be there 7th or 10th in the second round. I would like to trade down to but it doesn't seem like the teams that have traded down haven't gotten real great deals. I think Seattle just got a second and fourth for there #1.

Allen Robinson (Penn State) Cody Latimer (Indiana) Jordan Matthews (Vanderbilt) Donte Moncrief (Ole Miss) Davante Adams (Fresno State) I'm hoping for Hoffman wayyy later to be hanging around. 6'4 is good size that we need. Also if Martavis came into play in the 3rd/4th, I could not be mad with that pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkthepresident Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 That's great, but I just don't like using high picks on people with knee concerns. Although RG3 had knee concerns too... I don't either though, just speaking to why he's a good player and in play at 34. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elkabong82 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 According to LL56, we're expectes to take Kouandjio. Meh, would rather have Moses. Kouandjio is a better RT, Moses a better LT. Wouldn't be surprised if he is the pick, and I'd be happy with it too. Dr. James Andrews examined his knee and cleared him of injury concerns and since he works for the Redskins in a significant capacity and is one of best in the country I'd imagine that his assessment is trusted. Kid has all the physical tools and work ethic/discipline you want, his technique needs to improve and that can happen with good coaching. That is a better situation for a round 2 pick than a guy with limited body but great technique who has already hit his ceiling. As far as RTs go, he's one of the best in the draft. I'd be fine with Moses or Su'a or Bitonio, but IMO Cyrus has the highest ceiling. Bitonio and Su'a are good guards but don't have the best bodies but do have good technique, so their ceilings may not be much higher. Moses is good but was just ok at RT and better at LT which doesn't mesh with our needs (since need would be one of the tie-breakers between good players). If we're going more 1 gap I really like Jernigan, and Nix and Hageman and Tuitt and Ealy are all good too. For me though, I'd take either Cyrus or Jernigan.

Bacon Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 My only issue with going Su'a-Filo at #33 is that G is an undervalued position this draft; we'll be able to beef up at that position in later rounds more cheaply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsfan190 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Marqise Lee is the top rated player on my board but would love Kouandjio or Su'a-Filo at 34. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destino Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Are the knee concerns legit or do they all stem from an unconfirmed report? Cyrus played every game and Saban claims he never missed a practice in the two season following his injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HAILSKINSNYC Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 There's really no excuse not to trade down.....I don't see an obvious pick at #34...there are about 10 guys I would take that are very close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
