with this deal and Armstead gone, there is no way the Skins are drafting at #5...if they do, it'll be one of the worst drafts ever (worse than Shuler...worse than Howard). With the #5, we are now in the drivers seat to pick up a few picks, which are desperately needed with the new holes opening up. No hole at RB, but holes at CB, SLB (rumor is LaVar moves to weak side), DE, DT. I hope Gregg Williams can convince guys to come play here. So, for those that want Sean Taylor in burgundy and gold...forgetaboutit...
If we can trade down to the middle of the first, pick up a 2nd and perhaps a 5th...we could get a DT (Starks et al) or CB in the first...defensive lineman in the 2nd...and use 2 5th rounders on project players. Sign Springs (local boy, will probably come here for cheaper than anywhere else) and hopefully Kearse...and plug the strong side in with Pierce or free agent...then the defense wouldn't look half bad...
