I would rather trade with Carolina and have them get Ridley.

That would be fine too. I just don't see a player at 13 that says WOW we have to take him, most projections have A LB and I feel our LB group is pretty good.

I disagree with you on this point. With all the QB's that are expected to go high in the 1st Round, I think it is highly likely that the Skins will again say "Wow!" and run to the podium to select a future star player. Guys like Derwin James, Roquan Smith, Da'Ron Payne, Vita Vea, Wynn, Guice, Ward, Edmunds - any of them could be there at #13 and these players are all 1st Rounders. We just don't know where these guys rank on the Skins wish list.

As for picking a LB at #13, if Roquan Smith is there I highly doubt that that the Skins would hesitate to take him because of his position. If you think they would, do me a favor and don't be talking any BPA bullshit to me as we approach the draft.

I knew very little about Roquan.
Since reading your post, I watched Roquan Smith's highlight reel and read about him for the first time.
He looks a solid pick. His speed and instincts on the field looks way faster than 4.5 time in the 40. Plus he weighed in at 236 at the combine. Plenty of size. Wow is right.

Cooley made a passing comment on his show yesterday saying Smith doesn't shed blocks like a superstar LB should. That he relies on his speed and inferior competition to go around blocks and that he might have trouble against NFL blockers.

Granted, this was not an in depth break down which he does on various players of interest for the team in the lead up to the draft but is certainly enough to make the team pause at 13.

He said he liked James even though he is a S (not a premier high pick position) at 13 more than Smith.
