Bram's Blog For April 2nd

Covering The Redskins

As for WR, the Skins appear not to be too hot on Texas speedster Limas Sweed who many believe could be a target for them in the first or second round.. ESPN pitched the idea of CB Aqib Talib from Kansas, Vinny admitted he liked him very much.. I'd be surprised if the Skins went CB in the first round..

I love how Bram totally exposed Larry Michael with the Chad Johnson prank

I really don't think there would be a wide receiver available at #21 that would be more than a serviceable #2. Moss' injury woes over the last couple of years make me wonder if he'll be able to last much longer. I think we need to look at defensive line with that first-round pick.

MTK · 04-02-2008, 03:11 PM

No interest in Sweed huh? I find that hard to believe.

81+83+84=Posse · 04-02-2008, 03:22 PM

I've seen quite a few services rate Sweed in the 2nd round. Maybe they think they can get him there. Don't think he'll fall that far though.

I know they've said that WR is a major priority, but they've got bigger issues. DE, CB, and OL could all possibly be addressed first. Or maybe they believe that Cincy will eventually trade Johnson. I'm looking forward to seeing what Mix is capable of.

This part confuses me. My instincts tell me that there should be a however in front of "I'd be suprised".

Yeah I've seen many mocks lately with Sweed out of the 1st round altogether.

Kiper's latest mock has us taking Devin Thomas.

I just think we could do so much better drafting linemen with our top picks in general. I'd be a big advocate of really gearing our 1st rounders from here on out towards linemen only with a QB thrown in every 5-7 years as needed and a CB every 4 years maybe. It just that the other skill position players seem so much easier to come by via FA than linemen. I might puke if we draft a WR. We can get a comparable WR in 2 or 3 I'd bet.

That Guy · 04-02-2008, 04:51 PM

sweed looks like a bust to me, so that's good news. talib's not my first choice, but he seems like he'd be solid. rather have harvey or cromartie, but both may be gone by our pick.

Meks · 04-02-2008, 05:03 PM

we go DE with our first rounder...

after that I have
5 words...

Jordy Nelson in the 2nd

cuz with mix we have our big guy.. and he will develop..

adding nelson makes our wr corps look that muh better

Skinny Tee · 04-02-2008, 05:20 PM

Why is there so much interest in WR with the 1st?

We can better serve ourselves if we pick in positions where the talent is deep. There aren't any surefire WRs coming out in this years draft anyway so we should be able to get our hit or miss prospect with our later picks.

With the WCO your WR's don't need to be talent superstars as is evident with the Eagles offense the past 5 years. If we pick a guy who fits the scheme in the later rounds we'll be fine.

BAFGA · 04-02-2008, 06:45 PM

I tend to agree that a WR or a CB in the first round isn't really necessary. Personally i would go OL. I would target Chad or Anquan to fill the WR spot, and go after a CB in the later rounds.

HGale · 04-02-2008, 06:51 PM

I really believe Sweed will be the premier WR coming out in this draft. The Skins have not had success drafting WR early, but if Limus Sweed is available I just don't see how they can not draft him, he's a stud.

Depending on how the Skins rate the players, if one or more receivers that they like drops to the second round they do have the juice to trade up and get into the top part of that frame. By the value chart if they packaged their 2nd (51) and 3rd (84) that would take them into the 32-38 range (technically it takes them to 34, but you need a willing trade partner too). So if Malcom Kelly, Limas Sweed, or James Hardy drops from the first, and they like any of those guys, they could move up to get them. At this point I think Devin Thomas is the only one I'd be really happy about drafting in the 1st.

I like Hardy and Sweed, but Vinny seems to like Hardy alot.
