My boy Patrick Willis shows off his hitting abilities on the first play of the game.

Okay, I'm talking to myself, but Okoye looks good.

I don't get NFL network, but it's nice to hear some updates about guys we might like. Okoye blew people away this week from what I've been reading.

Re: Senior Bowl Game Thread
 

I'm trying to watch a couple of the DBs I think we should go after in the 3rd round

[URL="http://www.nfldraftcountdown.com/scoutingreports/cb/joshwilson.html"]Josh Wilson[/URL]

[URL="http://www.nfldraftcountdown.com/scoutingreports/cb/marcusmccauley.html"]Marcus McCauley (if he even falls that far)[/URL]

Re: Senior Bowl Game Thread
 

I still want us to get either Anderson or Branch with our first pick. But Okoye has really been looking good all week

We need a chat room, its hard to watch a live game and trying to keep up a conversation on a message board. Please give us a chat room.

Tafkas don't you think we should get a third round pick before we try to pick someone in the third round? I doubt the FO tries to get any draft picks for this year anyways.

Um....4th round?

Re: Senior Bowl Game Thread
 

I think we would do better trading down, maybe more than 1 time to pick up a couple more 1st day picks. We should be able to get a min of two 2nd rounders and a middle 1st round if we trade down. 3 picks vs 1. I'd do it w/ the holes that the skins have to fill, cb, lb, dline, and depth.

Didn't see much of the senior bowl but Josh Wilson could be one of those 2nd round picks. Supposed to be one of the fastest cb's out there. Kind of small though.

okoye would be a good pick i think, plus hes only going to be 20 next year...

Try 5th round lol. We only have a 1st, 5th, 6th, and 7th. And we'd probably have to trade our 5th and 6th to move into the 4th.

I like him too, but I'd like to trade down for more picks.

It's easy to forget what picks we have as we give them away in weird ways (e.g. the Atlanta-Denver-DC trade). Kind sad that we go from the 6th overall pick to the 5th round.

Re: Senior Bowl Game Thread
 

So no mention of the fact that the Norv Turner led South offense put up a goose egg. Any other team but the Cowboys, and that would have been a bad audition.

basically he had a very short period of time to coach a bunch of guys who all come from different offensive schemes...I wouldn't put much stock in it

Yeah, you know that's a good point.

Good point. In fact, I wonder why teams put any stock in the game. Granted, the Senior Bowl is a forum in which scouts can see how players match up against other top-flight prospects. However, I still don't see how you can evaluate players based on their Senior Bowl performances. These guys are playing in a totally new (and very basic) offensive/defensive scheme beside players they've never played with or even met and are being coached by total strangers. And it's not comparable to what they will face in the Pros as they will have an entire offseason to get acclimated to the system, coaches, and players before being expected to hit the field in a meaningful game.

Here is a link to notes on the Senior Bowl practices.
[url=http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/football/nfl/01/26/senior.bowl/index.html]SI.com - NFL - Okoye's stock rises at Senior Bowl - Friday January 26, 2007 1:01AM[/url]

One interesting thing I saw is this comment:

[B]"4. Quentin Moses/DE/Georgia: The Bulldogs pass rusher checked in much lighter than expected at 249 pounds and was handled all week by blockers. During interviews, Moses did not come off as a confident individual."[/B]

I'll tell you this - the last thing the Redskins need is a 249lb pass rusher who can't fend off run blocking. If we go with a DE in the draft I'd say avoid Moses and if you keep the 6th pick Jamal Anderson has a much higher chance to succeed....

Agreed, can you imagine Moses and Carter playing at the same time? Ouch, our run defense is bad enough already.

[quote=Sheriff Gonna Getcha;273365]Agreed, can you imagine Moses and Carter playing at the same time? Ouch, our run defense is bad enough already.[/quote]Exactly. We'd become the Colts, except we'd blitz more to give up more big plays.
