Gibbs Hints 'Skins Will Draft A Defensive Player with the 9th Pick

SonnySamFrank, welcome to the board!

Thanks Tafkas!

I'm as convinced as ever that we will not draft a wide receiver at #9. Gibbs doesn't particularly trust rookies on offense with much playing time anyway. Look how long it took to get Cooley consistent action in the starting lineup. Unless they're planning to get rid of either Thrash or McCants, there'd be no need to spend such a high draft pick on a player who simply won't see much action during the regular season.

I'll be cornerback or defensive end.

More proof that we need a GM. Tipping his hand again...
I love Joe but he needs to learn to shut his mouth.

Look at the Skins track record for drafting CB's & you see that we have drafted the best CB's in the last 3-4 seasons. Teams are going to know that we are looking CB initially, no matter what smoke screen we are blowing around. The Skins & Titans lost Pro Bowl caliber CB's so it makes sense to see both teams looking CB with their 1st rd picks.

I still think there will be good WR's in the 3rd to bolster depth.

Chouns: problem is we have depth we just don't have a #1 type guy.

Beemn - our TD leader last year was a rookie, he must trust them a little bit!

I would select Pac Man Jones or Rolle, whoever is there when we pick, or trade down and get David Pollack and another pick.

Let's not forget guys this is the time for smoke screens. I wouldn't be suprised to see us go WR or CB, but he could just be blowing smoke. I still think they're undecided.

That sounds pretty spot on cuz this is the point in getting close enough to the draft where u have to make others drafting around u think and maybe even squirm a bit to possibly sweeten trade up offers. If Williams is available when we pick even though we r decently stocked at wideout, there's practically no way in hell they wouldn't draft him unless they got an offer from a team to move up that absolutely knocked their socks off.

It's still too early to predict what exactly will happen.

skinsfan: They were undecided going into draftday last year -- never know!
