33 Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 I'm not trying to count unhatched chickens, but I have been assuming that we would probably draft a DE speed rush guy to help us get some pressure without blitzing as often or to draw double teams to free up a LB or even Griffin. It would appear that IF we sign Brown that we wouldn't then go out there and draft someone else at that position and spend a ton of money on it. Do you think a Brown signing changes draft strategy(obviously not a question for "Mike Williams for President" crowd)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaSkinsNut Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 I don't think we were targeting DE with a high pick like that. a #9 pick is a but much for a position that generally takes a while to develop prospects at...and is as hit/miss as QB. CB would make the most sense after seeing Smoot depart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AkaD Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 It all depends on how much Brown costs us, and if we have cap space to sign a guy at #9. Most likely we'll get Brown for around the minimum salary for veterans, and make a 1 year deal, most likely laden with incentives. He'll make most of his money in bonuses and number of games played most likely. If he insists on a contract that hinders us and how much we have left in cap space, then we'll most likely trade down to a later round draft pick to be able to sign someone less expensive. Well, that's my take on it. Lates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanders 83 Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 I say draft Rolle if we get Brown. I'm starting to jump on his bandwagon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Punani2 Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 I would like to see the Skins draft Rolle or trade down and get a MLB and CB to replace Pierce and Smoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtyler42 Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 If we sign Brown I think we should draft Antrelle Rolle/Pac-Man Jones( I prefer Rolle b/c he is bigger and more physical than Jones kinda of a Springs clone)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AkaD Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 We don't need a CB as bad as to use a 1st round, top 10 pick on ya'll. We need another wideout, a DE, or an O-lineman. Cornerbacks are picks in the 2nd and 3rd rounds, unless they're supposed to be the next Darrell Green or Deion Sanders. I've heard some good things about Rolle, but not enough to merit a top 10 pick in the 1st round. Especially from us! We don't really even have a system that needs the greatest corners to make it work. I say no way. Lates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CB could be the most important position on the D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tr1 Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 BAP....Gibbs said so. As free agency continues, the Redskins immediate needs become fewer and fewer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Jones Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 god I hate these 3 words more than anything but....best player available. Finally coming around I see Oldskool. Remember, you still are looking for a position of need. For example, OLB is not a position of need. Offensive Tackle is not a position of need. However, most other positions, except maybe RB and QB, you could present an argument as a position of need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimFolk Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 So if Cadillac Williams or Derrick Johnson or Alex Barron is sitting there we draft them even though we pay our current players one the highest salarys in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laxpck Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 One can never go wrong by drafting a Cane Its the NFL Farm League I still want Matt Jones darn it (not with our first pick...but he is going to be good) But Antrolle Rolle is the real deal and I could see him and Taylor just killing people.....can you imagine Rolle blitzing out of one G Dub's packages......he, unlike Smoot or PacMac..will absolutely destroy a QB on a blitz...its like a free LB coming clean Yikes....scary thought I am starting to think that Williams aint gonna drop past 3 with all the hub bub...and I dont want Braylon (reminds me too much of David Terell-good job Giants on that one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blondie Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 How I would LOVE to be part of the war room team!! CB coming here surely changes some of the previous thoughts on the draft. Has to be Best Player Available. Blondie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMike_ATL Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A38444-2005Mar15.html According to one source, who requested anonymity because the new deal hasn't been finalized, Moss will average more than the annual salary in Coles's original contract in Washington -- a seven-year deal worth $35 million that included a $13 million signing bonus. Rosenhaus, whose client was scheduled to earn about $450,000 in 2005, said last night that no deal has yet been reached and declined further comment. Article from the post today says that Moss is going to get more money on his contract renewal than Coles did. So if we do that plus sign Brown and this safety, I see us trading down that pick so we don't end up with a large salary guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. S Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 please, no best player available, as TimFolk pointed out, im sure guys like Benson/Brown/Williams, Derrick Johnson, or maybe even Smith/Rodgers will be available when we draft, but we dont need those players. I think its pretty certain we would draft CB in that scenario. We will probably trade down though, many of you are also forgetting about Carlos Rogers of Auburn, I think also Nate Webster of LSU is a first round projection, though not sure. WR, to me, it seems like we have a logjam again, Moss, Patten, Thrash, Jacobs, all can be legit #2 guys, and hopefully Moss can be our #1 guy, but we arent scewed if he cant. We'll just be a team that spreads the ball around a lot. Mike Williams may be a freak of nature in the NFL, but it depends on if he's available. I can see our FO drafting a guy in a later round, to work up, sorta like the Ravens with Clarence Moore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griff Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 I do think Edwards & Williams will be gone by our pick at 9. If we use the pick I can see us targeting Rolle or Jones, I also have a feeling Rolle will go #6 to the Titans. I could also see us moving back out of the #9 spot to pick up extra mid to late round picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCS Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 Well, if you are not a fan of best player available, do not read the radio interview Fred Jones was kind enough to transcribe for us. Really. Dont' do it. I'm not kidding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfbovey Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 Best available player on that board that is either a CB or WR. Might be similar to last year when we had a choice between Taylor and Winslow... only this year it might be Mike Williams or Antrel Rolle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLusby Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 Trade down if possible and grap the Auburn CB. This will save on cap. Get more depth at OL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJSkins Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 I would say draft a CB. I do not want them to take a wide reciever unless they move way down. Taking a WR that high is a waste of a pick unless they have Moss/Owens skill without the attitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrfriedm Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 The first round pick will go to either a WR or a CB, even if we trade down. If we pick up Brown, I think that will keep us from drafting a DL until the fifth or sixth round. We will proably look at MLB and OL before we go DL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking a WR that high is a waste of a pick unless they have Moss/Owens skill without the attitude. Mike Williams can definately be compared to Terrell Owens as far as what he can potentially do on the field. Both are physical WRs with great hands that score TDs. If Williams falls to us, it would be difficult to pass on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GangstaSkinz Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 I don't see Rolle or Pac-Man being worth that high a pick either. Nor is Williams worth the money if he is available at #9. We need to trade down, 9 is bad spot for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
