With the 53 pick the Skins select.......

I don't know how you can say griffin is moderately successful or daniels isn't good or that carter isn't a big signing. useless we draft 4 DL guys and bring in mathis and peppers you just won't be happy, right? I mean really, what do you expect?

getting a very average starting LB is fine with you as long as we can draft a DL guy that'll have ZERO chance to start (instead of a starting LB)... weird. I never said that I didn't want a LB . By not taking a LB at 53 does not mean that you can not find a starter . We have six LB's on the roster with less than 4 years , that is why I would rather bring in a ,, Sharper , Polley or some Lb with some leadership quality to mentor the young guys and add some stability .

Isn't that Marcus Washington?

Wynn gives us depth at DT and DE as does Evans. Daniels can slide inside as well. So we're alot deeper on the inside than it appears IMHO.

carter averages over 7 sacks when playing DE. Daniels had 8 last year (though he's doubtful to repeat). Griffin gets 5-6 a year at DT. Youth would be nice, but no DE is going to come in and rack up 8 sacks his rookie year (at least, not 99% of the time). I think a CB or LB (or even a reserve OG) could contribute more immediately.

we have a bunch of DL guys with under 4 years experience (jones, killings, clemons, etc... no one of note), evans is entering his 6th year (which is more than 4), and lemar marshall has started more than 20 games. 16 last year, and most the year before when lavar got hurt.

Don't sell Daniels short. He will be going against the second best tackle now and teams will have to choose who they are going to give the help to. I see 20 sacks out of Carter and Daniels combined if they stay healthy.

The post you're responding to was directed at me.

As an aside, I don't think it would be the end of the world with Marcus Washington, Lemar Marshall, and Chris Clemons, Warrick Holdman, or Keith Adams (if he signs, of course) in the third linebacker spot.

But if there's a stud linebacker available when we pick, we should take him.

20 sacks might be a bit high, but I too am interested in how Carter could open things up for Philip Daniels.

I would like another backer on the roster as well , I actually think that Chris Clemons is going to be a real weapon as a pass rusher on third downs ! I want to see Bledsoe on his back all night on September 17th .

I think OL (OG specificly) is still a real possibility since pucillo and walters aren't guys you'd ever want on the field. It's not like wynn (or ray brown last year) where you know you've got a reliable starter on the bench.

Without giving away any mock draft strategies you plan to use, which o-linemen do you think would give us proper value at pick #53?

I'm thinking a tight end like marcedes lewis if he falls that far, or LB D'qwell jackson. If we go after him we'll possibly move up to take him. traditionally the skins don't just sit on their hands on draft day

Lewis isn't the answer at TE, but Anthony Fasano is a possibility. Jackson would be a great pick. We really can't move up because we have nothing before the 5th round to trade.
