NASMTrainer Posted January 1, 2004 Share Posted January 1, 2004 I have been looking at a lot of different mock drafts to see what teams will be selecting. It seems that most people believe that Washington will select 1 of 3 guys Smith out of OSU Harris out of OU Wilfork out of UM Which would you guys like to see here. I think my selection would be Will Smith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor The Invincible Posted January 1, 2004 Share Posted January 1, 2004 Actually most recent mocks have us drafting either Taylor the S, Jones the RB, or Smith the DE. I'd take Shawn Taylor the S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDawg Posted January 1, 2004 Share Posted January 1, 2004 I'd go with Taylor... a safety that good is not something you stumble upon every year, runningbacks are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sir Posted January 1, 2004 Share Posted January 1, 2004 Ahman Green Edgerrin James Ricky Williams Marshall Faulk Shaun Alexander Clinton Portis Stephen Davis Priest Holmes Jamal Lewis The teams that easily stumble upon these RBs also seem to easily win games. While the teams that settle for Trung Canidate and LaDell Betts seem to suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCS:BraveCaringSoul Posted January 1, 2004 Share Posted January 1, 2004 If you have a chance to get a blue chip runner then I say roll the dice and make it so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, and its not even much of a gamble with Steven Jackson, he's pretty much a lock. Its just a matter of whether he's a blue chip runner for us or someone else. I pray that its for us.

atloldskin Posted January 1, 2004 Share Posted January 1, 2004 Sean Taylor or Steven Jackson with the #1 pick. Tubbs (Texas), Starks (Md) or the LSU lineman with the #2 pick. Turner, Jones or Benson with the #3 pick to fill a RB postion if we take Taylor. The Minnesota TE with the next pick if he falls this far. This assumes no trade of Champ Bailey.

NavyDave Posted January 1, 2004 Share Posted January 1, 2004 You can not sleep on a safety or the defense WE waste our first rounder on an effing running back I'm gonna be p1ssed. Give the O line a smashmouth identity mentality and the holes will open. The majority of those great running backs were snagged after the first round.

Hog Fever Posted January 1, 2004 Share Posted January 1, 2004 I'm not a big fan of looking for a RB in the first round either although Jackson is a great prospect. I also don't see any of the availble D-line guys as being the type of "can't miss" prospects that have been available in the past couple of years early in the draft. Even though I like Tommie Harris the best of the bunch there are questions about his size and position in the NFL. With a pick in the first round that high we need to try to get a player that can make the maximum impact asap. With that in mind I only see two players that fit that mold for when you look at our current roster. Kellen Winslow Jr. or Sean Taylor. Right now I'd lean towards Winslow Jr. No, I don't like the way he has run his mouth at times but you can't deny the type of impact he could make for this team. Yes, I know that past Skins teams didn't need a pass catching TE.....blah...blah....blah. If we had a weapon like him we'd FIND a way to use him. Any good coach would love to have that type of guy as an option. Taylor would be my number two pick because I think his impact on the team, no matter how talented he is, would be less IMO.

Samuels Posted January 1, 2004 Share Posted January 1, 2004 I agree completly with HogFever.Winslow2 and Taylor are the best 2 college players in the draft by far. Both has a good chance of being pro bowlers has a rookie but I'm honestly leaning toward Winslow2 because he will make a Shockey type impact. Just watch the kids effort in tonights game in the run game he's not a mauler but he gives bigtime effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The majority of great safeties were snagged after the first round as well. Steven Jackson would be far from a wasted pick. He's a lock, I'll definately come out and say that. Barring injury, theres no way he's not going to be a top running back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeletor The Invincible Posted January 1, 2004 Share Posted January 1, 2004 http://www.draftnotebook.com/draft_projection.htm updated Dec. 30. They have us picking a DE in the second. http://www.nfldraftblitz.com/mock_draft.htm updated 12/20 so a bit old and has us picking Jackson the RB. Anyway. I fully expect and hope we'll to pick up a defensive player the FO has confidence in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fresh Prince?!?! Only kidding. I dont know about Smith though. He may be a solid DE but unspectacular. I think Taylor or Jackson would be great.

Thats why I asked the question about the 3 [/b] Guess I never answered you did I? Sorry bout that. Well, honestly I don't think we go after any of those three. I love mock drafts. That's how I found this site years ago. That said it's real hard to understand the internal thinking of 32 NFL teams. Most of us know the Skins fairly well (or at least we think we do) but we only have a passing knowledge of other teams. We might know enough to say that this team needs a QB, or this team needs defensive help but might not know the team well enough to know what they are more likely to do. That's why I take all of the mocks with a grain of salt. The folks doing them know we need defensive line help so they have us selecting the top rated D-line guys. That's simple but not that accurate. We will know more how things are going to shake out after the combines. There is always a player or two who seem to come out of nowhere to go high in the draft and a couple of poor souls who don't do so hot in the workouts and fall off a lot of boards. It will happen again this year too. This team will go after a glamour pick in the top 5. None of those guys fit the bill.......yet. If one of them turns out to have a freakishly good performance at the combine they might move up but as it stands I would say we went after Taylor, Winslow Jr., or Jackson, maybe even Jones from Tech. A lot will depend on our new coach as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
