Buddha Posted March 31, 2002 Share Posted March 31, 2002 Since it's a very slow news day, I figured I'd post the link to the draft board I've been working on. I still have more prospects to add and move around, but it might be worth checking out now.<br /><br /><a href="http://home.earthlink.net/~wahoofamily/draftboard.htm" target="_blank">http://home.earthlink.net/~wahoofamily/draftboard.htm</a> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCS Posted March 31, 2002 Share Posted March 31, 2002 It is a slow day isn't it? List subject to change depending on possible free agent signings between now and the draft? <img border="0" title="" alt="[smile]" src="smile.gif" /> I like the postitional needs part. I think the OL statement could be very true. Though I think you may find some resistance to that here. Board looks great Budda.<br /> <br /> <small>[ March 31, 2002, 11:31 AM: Message edited by: Park City Skins ]</small> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCS:BraveCaringSoul Posted March 31, 2002 Share Posted March 31, 2002 Great site Buddha! I added it to my draft links.<br /><br />Why don't you like Kalimba Edwards though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fansince62 Posted March 31, 2002 Share Posted March 31, 2002 very nice......prediction: we will sign rod jones before the draft eliminating any consiideration of a guard for 1st round. corey harris will be our safety next season. <br /><br />- we will draft harrington if he falls to 18<br /><br />otherwise<br /><br />- not much noise on DT from the braintrust, makes me think they have a post Jun1 candidate in mind<br /><br />- shane matthews is inbound (eventually)<br /><br />- 1st round will be gamebreaker WR if available or DE (Edwards)<br /><br />- second round is where things get interesting: it will be a lineman is all i will venture to guess (although, there has been no mention of mlb and i could very well see someone like mercada out of UNC)<br /> <br /> <small>[ March 31, 2002, 11:45 AM: Message edited by: fansince62 ]</small> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog Posted March 31, 2002 Share Posted March 31, 2002 after reviewing the ratings on Kalimba Edwards, to me there are just too many questions about his ability to transition to DE or OLB in the NFL.<br /><br />when you see draft descriptions that talk of a player being a possible 'tweener' then to me that is a red flag about taking them in the first round.<br /><br />Edwards may well turn out to make the grade at DE despite the comments about him being soft against the run and undersized, etc......<br /><br />But those risks usually take an outstanding college player down into the 2nd and 3rd rounds of the draft.<br /><br />Now, I don't anticipate Edwards being on the board that long.<br /><br />But I would not consider taking ANY player in the top 20 or so picks where there are significant questions about him GOING IN.<br /><br />Rookies, even those that are blue chippers like Arrington have transition problems.<br /><br />Those that don't project well to their pro position based on height, weight, speed, etc....are likely to have even greater such problems and take longer to find their niche.

Jimbo Posted March 31, 2002 Share Posted March 31, 2002 It really sucks that we don't have a 3rd round pick. I expect a lot of those guys list as 4th rounders to be gone by the time we pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyDave Posted March 31, 2002 Share Posted March 31, 2002 We could draft a DT and move him to LDE and move R Wynn to RDE which would mean cutting Marco Coleman and giving us a chance of at S Martin or Adams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His speed is what makes the difference. <br /><br />But for every Jevon Kearse, you could name a hundred tweeners who couldn't play in the NFL. The Falcons and Dolphins wasted many of their picks in the 80's on tweeners, looking for a great pass rusher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Die Hard Posted March 31, 2002 Share Posted March 31, 2002 Jevon Kearse is no exception. He's still taken out of the game in obvious running situations. He's not a full-time player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G.Smitty Posted March 31, 2002 Share Posted March 31, 2002 Looks okay, but to suggest that Ed Reed would be available in the fourth round is pretty ridiculous. He'll be gone by the time the Redskins pick in the second round probably. I wouldn't even be upset if they took him in the first round. <br /><br />I like Kalimba Edwards though, 6'5" 265 is not that small for a DE. Marco Coleman who is an outstanding run stopping DE only ways 5 extra pounds and is two inches shorter than Edwards. Edwards also does have the frame to add more weight. He played DE very well until his senior year of college when he switched to LB because of the teams lack of LB talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. D Posted March 31, 2002 Share Posted March 31, 2002 Kalimba Edwards is the 2k2 version of Mike Mamula.<br /><br />anyone seen Mikey lately? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if Ed Reed were caught standing next to a bong the night before the draft and fell to the 4th round, I'd take him in a heartbeat.<br /><br />I think he'll go late first or early second. Hence, the asterisk next to his name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HarrySkin Posted March 31, 2002 Share Posted March 31, 2002 I have also posted a link to your draft board on my <a href="http://www.haruth.com/WashRedskins.html" target="_blank">Hail to the Redskins</a> site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeSkin Posted March 31, 2002 Share Posted March 31, 2002 Edwards sounds like he's cut from the Kearse mold, definitely. And as all know, "The Freak" has all but disappeared. Edwards is really skinny, he sounds more like a basketball player. He's 6'5 and 251, whereas Freeney is 6'1 and 247. I just have a bad feeling about Edwards.

OrangeSkin Posted March 31, 2002 Share Posted March 31, 2002 Kearse did NOTHING last year. The guy fell off the map. I'm not sure why, but he only had something like 5 sacks. Not the kind of guy you want on your team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrangeSkin Posted March 31, 2002 Share Posted March 31, 2002 OK 10, but still, he basically fell off the face of the earth last year after being touted as the next Bruce Smith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
