Smoots Gone, What do we draft?

KLHJ2 · 03-08-2005, 07:15 PM

Hey Guys, I am watching NFL Total Access and this is this first that Ive heard that Smoot is gone and signing with the Vikings. So now My question is do we still draft a WR, or shift focus to a CB?

...didn't think Smoot would do it. Especially for only $ .8 million more...

Can't believe he's gone. I loved yelling SSSSSMMMMMMOOOOOOOOTTTTT in the bar whenever he made a great play!!! So much for my Smoot jersey too!!
Don't know what they'll go for in the draft now. Garnell Wilds played great at the end of the season so he may take Smoots place. We're bringing in some new wideouts too but we really need some improvement on the O-line!!!
Damn Pierce and Smoot both gone, that sucks!!!!

Apparently they offered a lot more salary in the first 3 years than us. Probably made the difference.

From the WP:

Quote:

According to sources, Minnesota's contract offer was structured to pay Smoot an average salary of $6 million over the first three years -- which was significantly higher than Washington's offer.

Ouch

We dont have the money to pay Ty Law, nor does he have the upside for a huge contract. We will either draft a corner or just go with what we have.

The only good thing is that it is over, and we don't have to wait around anymore. I can't believe we didnt pay more to get him, but I guess this will allow us more cap freedom in the future.

I would really like to see the team add Andre Dyson. I think he is the type of guy who could replace Smoot fairly effectively, and do it at a cheaper price. I would like to see Harris remain at the nickel if at all possible.

I think this makes us much less likely to trade up in the draft. We don't really have that one pressing need (WR) anymore. We will probably sit at 9 and select the best player at either WR or CB who falls to us. It just makes me so angry that we made that Coles trade, we went about in very much the wrong way and it now may cost us in a big way. We desperately need a WR, but now we may not do what it takes to get one. Regardless of what that poll on the front page says, our WR corps is MUCH worse now than it was last year. Moss is worse than Coles and Patten is worse than Gardner. The fact that Gardner and Coles are both assholes who don't want to play for the Skins doesn't change the fact they are a very decent and very good WR respectively. We need a WR more desperately now than we ever did, and yet at this point I would be willing to bet that we settle for a CB like Rolle if it looks like Williams won't fall.

In other words, we are f*cked, big-time.

Big C · 03-08-2005, 07:36 PM

draft either pacman jones/rolle or pick up one in the 3rd round. maybe andre dyson? hes young and fast. good too. former titan.

celts32 · 03-08-2005, 07:40 PM

We still need a WR more than a corner. Patton & Moss as starters...are you kidding me?

PSUskinsfan11 · 03-08-2005, 07:49 PM

If williams is there I say take him, if not I say take Rolle or Jones.
