Small WR

I think we would all love to see Plax end up with the Vikes which should pave the way for the Skins to get Williams or Edwards at #9, but so far the Vikes don't seem interested in Burress. Everything I keep reading says that Plax & his agent are contacting the Vikings becasue he wants to play there. It's not clear at this point if the Vikings want him though.
Why would the vikings trade one tall, pain in the ass, poor attitude receiver for another?

From what I have read it seems as though Boldin is more likely than Burress to end up in Minnesota.

"Cardinals' officials instigated talks with the Vikings regarding a proposed trade that would send wide receiver Anquan Boldin to Minnesota in exchange for running back Michael Bennett and a second-round draft pick, according to KFAN radio, the Vikings' flagship station."

I stated earlier that Patten would be a target of the skins, he knows how to win and he's a good character. A gibbs type player all the way. We will be upgraded all around the board, we may not make a big splash with big names, but well get some gems.

will someone send me a messaqge telling me how to make my own postings.........thanks

To answer you they probably won't. I just want to see them add any quality WR that will keep them from drafting Williams at #7.

I am a little surprised at the lack of interest in Plax though. it's not like he is that bad a guy.

Feel free to correct me if I am wrong, but it might be because he wasn't that productive after comming off of his injury last season.

I love the pickup of David Patten. I think these are the kind of guys the Skins need to go after. Clearly, if Coles is not going to return, they need a number one, but I'm tired of all of these offseasons where we sign all the biggest names. You can't have 24 team captains (I'm including P's and K's in case you're wondering about 24). We can't have 24 guys who are all going to the Pro Bowl. We need humble guys who will accept a role where they don't have to be the most productive player on the team. I think this will be a great pickup for the Skins.

I said it in another thread that I think this notion that you "need" a big WR isn't true.

Look at the Rams, Holt and Bruce aren't huge guys. Look at the Colts, they don't have any big WR's.

We had Rod Gardner for the last 4 years and he's considered a big possession type, where did that get us?

That being said I'd still like to see us grab Mike Williams, not just for his size but his overall talent and ability.

I agree. I am somewhat concerned with Williams' speed but he compares favorably to someone TO. Saying he was playmaker at USC is an understatement and I really see him as the biggest value in the draft this year. This guy is going to be off the board no earlier than 7 and I think will end up being the biggest impact player of the class. Every year there is at least one guy who slips for some silly reason and every team ends up kicking themselves for passing on him. Guys like Moss, Sapp, Roy Williams, Roethlisberger,Freeney,Tomlinson,Culpepper,Gonzale z...the list goes on forever of guys who in hindsight should have gone higher...much higher. Williams is the real deal.

DP is a great signing :biggthump

Bravo to the front office!!!

The thing that worries me about Williams is USC is in the PAC 10. Not traditionally the mecca of great defenses. You are only as good as the competition you play against. College defenses and d-backs are already noticeably weaker than in the NFL, add to that the Pac 10 factor. If USC played the Miami's, Florida State's and top SEC teams every year than I would feel like you do about Williams.
