sorry to think this but...replacing sean taylor

[chocho]

why dont you work on getting an o line

[Redskin]

The lines need help, I think we might be ok after our o line heals up a bit mayb 1 or 2 replacements but man we need a pass rush

yes, as the season's gone on our d-line seems less able to put pressure on a consistent basis. Carter is always good for a qb hurry or sack, but he can't be the only one.

yea i totally agree. our biggest need is d-line. a replacement for taylor we can draft later in a later round. on saftie that really looked goood to me was that safty out of Hawaii.... i cant remember his name at the moment but he seems like an option that we could draft later in the draft.

i agree with the majority of the poeple on here in saying that we should draft chris long to devople a stronger pass rush.

There are so many needs for this team it's kind of mind boggling. I really think that we should draft based on the talent available where we need it. We really need some depth for the o-line but that is what the 3-6th rounds are for. I think that the first 2 rounds should be a FS and a D linemen.

I think that has more to do with issues in coverage. Rogers out, Taylor, Smoot in and out each week, Springs nicked up and personal issues, etc.

i don't know matty, it looks to me like alot of teams that have actually tried to run against us (especially on first down) have made it to the second level with ease...

Part of this might be because we play our safeties 25-30 yards off the line.

Just my opinion but I really think you guys are really discounting Doughty...
He's no Sean Taylor but then ST was a supernova anyway, a once in a lifetime player...All we need is a decent starter I think Reed fills that role nicely...the schemes can be changed to play to Doughty's strengths and weaknesses just like they did with Sean...We've got some outstanding young players in Landry, McIntosh, Rogers, Blades, etc...

Our priorities should be the O&D-line, then the O&D-line, then the O&D-line...oh and did I mention the O&D-line?

Man I think we take Kenny Phillips, from there we draft d-line, then o line. It may be a strange pick since he's for the U, but IMO a good one. No one could ever replace ST!

If you think along those lines, Lorenzo Alexander plays offense and defense and special teams so he must be REALLY versatile. How about converting him to a WR...?

You're such a cherry picker. :cheeky-sm

Why don't you state who you like rather than shit

[EARTHQUAKE2689]

What about Glenn Dorsey from LSU the DT now he can get penetration and is an excellent pass rusher from the DT spot and that safety from LSU is Chad Jones and he is a freshman.

Dorsey will be one of the first picks taken

I can agree with that kind of drafting priority. We could certainly justify using our 1st rounder on a FS and a guy like KP. Using our 2nd rounder on a DT or DE would also be a good idea. Finally, using our 3rd rounder on an O-lineman would be a good move. We don't need to use a top pick on an O-lineman since we should have 5 solid starters for next season. Although 1 or 2 of our O-lineman will likely be gone by 2009, using a 3rd rounder on an O-lineman who can develop for a year prior to hitting the field would be a move that I could get behind.
