Skins officially pick Rocky McIntosh

My problem is certainly not with the player, but with the fact that we traded up at all. He wasn't in high demand, and almost certainly would have been there at 53.

Nice avatar. Everything I have heard from those in the know (SkinsnCanes & Coach Gibbs, not necessarily in that order--No offense SnC) says that he wouldn't have been around at 53. This is particularly true since a run on LBs began early in the 2nd round, which is why we moved up when we did.

hey EXoffender whats the story w/ berman and a shark?

it means he's not entertaining or as good as he used to be

When you listened to Gibbs press conference, he did everything but say this guy is already penciled in as a starter. He kept saying how he can play any position and can blitz, then he would mention that he already talked to lemar to see if he cared if he moved around to different positions...The guys going to be a starter for us very early, if not week 1.

i don't know if he would have been there at 53, but alston would have been, and richard marshall (CB), and matui and spencer, and abdul hodge, all of which could be impact players.

at 35, we could have taken justice (QUALITY OL backup) or jimmy williams or even chad jackson (totally not needed).

with jimmy williams, we could just sit in nickel all day and use taylor and archuleta as option linebackers.

I guess 29 is high for a football player. I thought there was a Center that scored in the high 40s. Somebody posted a link in a thread about two months ago when the Vince Young scored 6 thing was brewing. If anyone can, re-post, please?

29 is a great score. 40 is rare and considered exceptional, usually only QBs get in the 30's, 40's.

With that beign said...29 for a miami football player is pretty much like acing the test...lol

Yeah. I hope it's legit.

are they serious? we gave up our second rounder this year, and a second rounder and a sixth rounder next year? Now, Macintosh might turn out to be a good player, but that's a lot to give up to move up 18 spots in the second round this year.

why do people not understand how moving up in the draft works. We didtn give up two first round picks for Campbell, and we didnt give up two 2nd round picks for Rocky. We gave up a 2nd round pick next year to essentially move up a round this year, or up a great number of picks. We still got a 2nd round pick.

It is a high pick to give up, I agree. But if its what we need to win it all this year, or go farther in the playoffs then its worth it. If hes a bust, and we dotn do well this year, then we'll wish we had it. But id rather put my self in a better position to win this year when we're so close

I don't see what the fuss is about with trading away the 2 seconds and a 6th. We talk all offseason how we can't afford to sign our picks, so when we package them to move up and get our 2 or 3 guys, then it's a bad move?

I think if you're gonna build through free agency, which we do, then you have to trade your picks away to stay out of horrible cap trouble.

so then who has the 53rd pick in the draft this year?

just so you don't have to go to redskins.com or anywhere else i did for you...


To obtain McIntosh, the Redskins traded the 53rd pick in the second round of this year's draft, the 189th pick in the sixth round of this year's draft and a second-round pick in the 2007 NFL Draft.
