[quote=Alvin Walton;1107852]You would be happy with a receiver at #1?
wtf.....[/quote]

I would be fine with it. If Scot feels that is the best player available then so be it.

Re: 2015 Draft Prospects... First Edition
 

This wide receiver talk is just too far out, you guys have been going to the little shops in Colorado.
Whats a wide receiver going to do in Washington?
Watch our QB get crushed, rushed and smushed?
Watch our secondary chase ghosts?
If we draft a WR he better be scoring 21 points a game or its a wasted pick.

[quote=SirLK26;1107859]True, you would like that, but my point is Shelton wouldn't have to be an elite nose tackle to make more of an impact than an elite receiver.[/quote]

I cant disagree with that

Re: 2015 Draft Prospects... First Edition
 

I would be all for getting a top pass rusher and a NT with our first two picks. If we can accomplish trading back and picking up an extra first this year or an extra second and third this year go for it. There is some D talent in this draft.

Re: 2015 Draft Prospects... First Edition
 

Does anybody get a list of who the skins spoke with at the combine? Who interviewd, maybe interviewed twice?

Only guy I've heard was Scherff...

Anybody heard? Thanx

I would not read anything into the list of meetings.

Re: 2015 Draft Prospects... First Edition
 

The interview of Marcus Peters is intriguing. First round talent with issues. Could be a nice 2nd Round pick.

Thanx man. Can't read too much, but if we follow up with additional meetings, workouts, this would be the foundation. Cornerback from Washington is a baller though

Re: 2015 Draft Prospects... First Edition
 

Brandon Scherff is on that list.
:joecool:

Re: 2015 Draft Prospects... First Edition
 

The more I read about him and the more interviews I hear, the more I'm liking Danny Shelton. 5 may be early, but I think he can anchor the defense for years. If we're staying a 3-4, lets get a true NT. He has a lot of good measurables, had a good combine showing, and most importantly impressed everyone at the Senior Bowl. NT isn't a sexy pick, but it does make everyone on that front 7 look better!

As Bill Parcells said, it's better to try to take a player a round early than a pick late.

Looks like the Ravens interviewed everyone there.

Before the Combine, SM said that he and his staff would interview as many players as they could at the Combine. So I think that list of players interviewed by the Skins is probably incomplete. I'd bet they interviewed a lot more.

Guys like Marcus Peters and Dorial Green-Beckham are super talented. If they could come in and be all about football they would be huge steals in second and third rounds. But if these guys are getting kicked off their college teams how are they expected to act when they get some money? I personally don't think it's a good idea to draft a guy high in the second and he's getting suspended within his first couple of years in the league. This team has enough issues. No more divas. No more weed smokers. No more thugs. No more off field distractions. We need guys who's all about football and nothing else. Marcus Peters is a huge risk.

I'd generally like the Skins to steer away from players who have had off-the-field issues, as well. In the case of Peters, what little I know about his being kicked off the team had to do with his frustration over a coaching change and his poor reactions to that change. I might well be ignorant of any other issues in his case. That's up to the Skins to find out, if they are interested in him.

Nevertheless, if the Skins were to take a risk on any player - and I think they should on occasion - it would be for a very talented player like Peters who could become a difference-maker on defense. That is, [U]if[/U] he checks out as someone they think they can trust to focus on football and stay out of trouble.
