re: The official Jason Taylor discussion thread (mega-merge)
I initially did not want any part of this guy pre-draft due to age....however, the draft did not result in a DE for us...even for depth.
It is pretty clear to me that when the Skins drafted their first 3 picks that they either thought...
They could survive with the Dline without changes (I dont agree)
They could somehow get a free agent DE (unlikely, except for sloppy depth)
They could get decent talent with some sort of trade.
The only trade bait we have now is one of our wideouts or future picks.
No way should we trade a young player for an old one....and I think Vinny agrees.
So that leaves draft picks.
Yes, Taylor is worth a 3rd....to the Skins, maybe more because even if we draft a killer DE next year, we still need a solid starter that year.
He is definately not worth a first....a second is probably too much unless they give us something...such as a 4th or a player...like a backup LB....(we are short on those)
I like Taylor...imagine Taylor and Carter, with Daniels at DT on 3rd and long.
Daniels has bulked up off season so he can play DT.
By the way....why do you think the Skins made cap space?
Yes...to try to get a WR.....but I'm sure more aquisition options were on the table besides Chad Johnson....and everyone knows...the top need on defense for the Skins is another pass rushing end.
I say....give the fins a 3rd and get his butt up here fast!
I would love it!
