After all the hype, how disappointed would you be if we made a pick at #5?

[thinker]

Given the frenzy of trade rumors, and understanding that many on this board really want Taylor or Winslow, nonetheless, would you be disappointed if our day ended on Saturday at about 1:30 pm by making our pick at #5?

[pennyizer]

Got a softball tourney tomorrow, just hoping to get home in between games to watch. I love draft coverage.

I assume that our draft-day plan is: See what kind of offers we get, and then decide.

I have no doubt that Coach has a name picked (actually five names) that he'd be willing to take at #5.

He also has some names that he'd take at #10. And a list of how much he'd want to trade down.

Draft day is about preperation. And I somehow suspect that we'll be prepared.

As to your question: If we pick at #5, it'll be because nobody made us a better offer. And frankly, Coach, I'll take whatever decision you make.

(And, if the #5 pick is Wilfork, then that's OK with me, too.)

i'd be more upset at the trade down than us picking. i hate these trade down scenerios, besides i'm gonna be at a pig roast all day, i want the day to end at 1:30 so i can pretend to be a hog. how can you beat being at a pig roast during the draft?

[illone]

you gotta trust a GM that was able to grab Lavar and Samuels, one after the other.... not many teams have leveraged that in the past, two high picks.

I think Cerrato knows that he's doing. At the end of the day our team will be that much closer to winning the east.

[codeorama]

I'd be more upset at the trade down as well... Not because I think I know anything better than Gibbs, but just because of the drama...LOL.

[GrapeApe]

None of those choices fit. I won't be upset at all if they pick either Taylor, Winslow or a DL at #5 or if they trade down. There's a few scenarios that would "upset" me, but they aren't realistic at this point.

[Steve Y]

I remember going to the "draft day party" at Fed Ex a couple of years ago. We traded down like 1,000,000 times and I left the field before we ever made a pick. So picking at #5 is perfect. Atleast we'll get something done.

[Destino]

I'll be annoyed if we don't trade down. This team has real holes in certain spots and I'd rather get a good player in most of them then one great player in one of them and enter the season with a real weakness.

[manichispanic]

Wait till our name is called, take off the Blazers and dress shirt, reveal a sean taylor shirt, throw him in the limo, then go home.............

[skin_finatic]

wow another draft poll.... what else is now around here.

[BG]

I'd be cool with Winslow or taylor. It would take me a while to be cool with trading down, but that too might be the best thing........

[Ernie5]

I'd be a little disappointed even though I know we probably can't get a player quite the calibre of Taylor or Winslow by moving down. More than anything, it would keep me interested in the draft for longer.

[Cskin]

I remember two years ago when Washington traded down twice before selecting Ramsey. I was in airports in Mexico and the southeastern US... and everytime the Redskins were about to select someone... I'd have to get on a plane. I'd deplane and check the board ... only to find out the Redskins had traded again. Maddening!!!

[riggins44]

I just want us to pick someone...so we can start disecting the pick.

[Grinder]

If we go one more year without making a serious draft choice investment in the DL then we deserve what we get...which will be one more year of having QBs sit back with no consistent pressure. Creative pressure is cool but we can't hang our hat on sending LB and DB blitzes all day or we will pay for it).

We've made strides in free agency with Griffin but Daniels is more about run stopping than pass rushing.

No value at DL with the 5th pick?

Trade down until we get the value!!!

Let's quit dancing around the glaring weakness that is the DL.

This year.

[citigent]

i vote would be not if we got any univ of miami guy.

When you have the opportunity to obtain a star playmaker you take it. Taylor or Winslow both qualify. Trading down may fill more holes, but also dramatically increases the potential bust or mediocre result.

And getting more stars without addressing key weaknesses will enable you to grab high draft picks in the future and draft more stars! :thumbsup:

[Die Hard]

Personally, I hate watching the draft. It's painfully slow. I hope the Skins stay at #5 and then I can watch the draft for an hour and leave for the rest of the day

[88Comrade2000]

Personally, I would love for us to move down a little; so we can pick up another pick or two. I can live with the future start we do select at #5 though.

[tex]

The team won't fill every need this year. I'm fine with using the pick on a player.

[atloldskin]

Taylor, Winslow or Wilfork (and some picks) will make me happy. Any other scenario and I may be upset today!
