Skin Patrol's Question about the Draft
He brought it up earlier, and I thought I'd just get everyone's input. The SBN's Mock Draft is fast approaching (as in less than a week folks) and the draft is less than a month away, so let's get it started.
What position do you feel needs to be addressed in the first few rounds? The SBN version is going 2 rounds, so what are your top 2 picks by position. I say by position because it will be very hard to predict who is on the board still at pick #51.
Anyway, hit up the poll, let us know what you think. Also, comments are always encouraged.

Understand the question but
I understand what you are saying about "what position" is needed but my opinion still falls to value not specifically one position.
If I'm picking my choice would be
- DE for Long, Vernon Gholston, Phillip Merling
- WR For Devin Thomas, Malcolm Kelly and James Hardy
- CB for Mike Jenkins or Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie
- OG for Brandon Albert
For the second round still need to look at overall value, removing the position which was selected at 21.

I see what you're saying...
So who do we think will be there at these positions of need? Will Kelly and Sweed? Will Gholston, Merling or Harvey (I omitted Long because he definately won't be there)? What about Jenkins, Rogers-Cromartie, McKelvin or Talib? I actually like Talib, SP does not, but I'm throwing him in the mix anyway. Is there a DT worthy of the 21st pick?
So, the list:
WR - Kelly, Sweed, Hardy, Thomas
CB - any of the top 4
DE - Gholston, Merling, Harvey (who else?)
S - Kenny Phillips
OG - Brandon Albert
DT - ???
Who am I missing?

New need at WR
If Malcom Kelly is still around, I think we should take him... and then probably Limas Sweed 2nd. Then I guess Devin Thomas, although I'm not that impressed with him. When did DeSean Jackson become a top-15 pick? And what happened to Manningham?
If we draft Sweed/Kelly and get a Calais Campbell or a tough passrushing DE in the 2nd round, the Redskins are a much, much better team. I know people on this website are high on Anthony Mix, but we absolutely need to add depth at WR. Now I'm wondering if we should draft another WR later in the draft because we have no one proven beyond ARE and SM (I don't trust James Thrash anymore). Add a first round WR talent to our offense (assuming he's not Rod Gardner.. yeesh) and we will be excellent. Our passrushing DE needs to come too, but we at least have some pieces in place because of the development of Wilson in addition to Carter who I personally feel is about to become a Pro Bowler.
As far as CB goes, we have a need there as well but we can afford to draft that later. If we burn a 1st rounder on a CB, we'll have a very crowded backfield where we have a much more pressing need at WR and DE.
So here goes ... and I don't claim to know depth beyond the first round, so I'll say what positions we should take and move on:
- Hopefully Malcolm Kelly, but WR
- DE (Hopefully Campbell but I doubt he'll be there)
- OL
5) OL/CB if we didn't get compensatory pick, QB if we do
Rest of picks: (QB), FB, S, OL

So long as it isn't Talib!
But if that's who you guys want, we'll go with him in the Mock Draft.
