With the 6th Pick, The Redskins Select...

[Darrell_Green_28]

that draft is incorrect anyways has detroit with #1 overall and us with 7th.. when we have sixth and lions are #2 behind the raiders.

[redskins5044]

ditto that 12thman. that guy who said we should draft troy smith with the #6 pick is an idiot. first what kind of message does that send to the team and why waste a pick on him so high when he is not rated that high. he must be an ohio st fan

[charlielyons]

i really think we need a solid defensive player here but not a small corner... we have to many bg recievers in our division(burress,t.o and stallworth) a defensive end is to risky and really wont provide any immediate impact on nfl olineman. we need a solid run stopper at DT , like the guy from michigan or a solid LB......I personally would take the michigan dt at #6 AND DRAFT adabi from virginia tech in the second round

[dblanch66]

Trade down. Its a no brainer.

Did anyone catch the USC - Michigan game? I missed it but I wanted to know how the following players did that the Skins may take:

1.) Alan Branch

2.) Leon Hall

3.) Lamar Woodley

[dall-assblows]

i think we should take a punter, kicker, or long snapper with the 6th pick. what do you guys think? pretty fool proof huh?

but calvin johnson is a amazing player, the best receiver to come out of college in maybe ever. team guy. i'm not saying draft him but f he is there, it would be hard to pass on him imo

I'd be in agreement if Gibbs hadn't traded so many other draft picks where he could have addressed the defensive sieve more cost effectively, but if he goes offense with the 1st pick, then he'll have to spend huge dollars for multiple defensive free agents. I really feel that a single dominant pass rusher will make our DBs much better than just going out and signing Clements. Darrell Green in his prime would have had a hard time playing with the lack of a pass rush that the current front four is generating.

I would love to see Calvin Johnson a Redskin, but its not the best thing for the team, unfortunately we dont have the luxury of drafting the best player in the draft, with all these stupid FA moves the front office has made were forced to pick players for positions that should have been filled years ago. The way I see it, if Calvin Johnson falls in our lap, lets give New England a call, I think they would swap there two first round picks for our top 10 pick(#6), let them pick Dewayne Jarret or Calvin Johnson, we can then use those two picks on LaRon Landry and Paul Posluzny. If not we should use the pick on either Gaines Adams or Alan Branch, whichever of the two is still available. Of course all this is contingent upon us signing Nate Clements, which I honestly believe is all but done, come free agency Nate Clements will be sippin champagne on Redskin 1 trying to figure out ways to spend the large sum of money Snyder just gave him.

By not having sufficient draft choices to build an inexpensive base of solid depth, I agree that the Skins hand will be forced to pass on Johnson, who may be the surest thing in this draft if he declares. Reminds me of two years ago when we let Smoot depart and Gibbs was all but forced to select a CB (Rogers) when both Merriman and DeMarcus Ware were on the board. It's most insulting that Merriman had 17 sacks in 12 games this year while the Redskins had 21 as an entire team in 16 games.

Picking Johnson would be ridiculous. I remember a couple of years ago that many thought Mike Williams was the most talented player in the draft and lots of Skins fans were annoyed that we passed him up to take Rogers. Well, Rogers may still be a work in progress but Williams is a disaster.

I think our receivers will be fine as JC develops and anyone who has seen the Skins this year knows that we need help on defense first and foremost. DT, DE, ILB and CB. Personally, I think that a space eating DT would be ideal as improved performance from the front 4 would have a positive knock on effect on the rest of the D.

Calvin Johnson is a MUCH better WR than Mike Williams was when he came out! If the FO is going to make a dumb decision, why not take the most gifted skill postion player in the draft? If they dont draft for defense, they've gotta take this guy! JC to CJ, what a duo!

No way...we've paid too much for Moss / ARE / Lloyd. That's too much money for a 4th receiver, and not enough room for him. Not a good idea.
Address ONLY the defense. Our offense is looking great for next season!

[Schneed10]

We should trade down from this spot so that we can still select one of the top flight DTs or CBs available, and add more picks in the meantime.

[redskins5044]

that is a good point soupermeister. we need to draft a pass rushing DE and then sign clements to a FA deal. how does drafting a offense player in the first help us out on defense i think our offense just needs to develop. let campbell learn the system better.
