Re: With the 5th pick in the draft the Washington Redskins select...

In 2016 Garcon and D. Jax cost ~20M in cap charges. Having a guy who can step in as a WR1 (like Cooper) for 500k makes gives us a lot of flexibility.

i thought you meant from an age stand point, my bad j-red, you're right.

they can't get any younger, but they can restructure/renegotiate.

If Scot has Cooper as his highest-rated player without input from Bruce, your argument is a very good one. BPA thinking for the long-term.

Re: With the 5th pick in the draft the Washington Redskins select...

I want and hope they pick Fowler or Beasly. An ideal situation would be to trade back a spot with the Jets and add an extra 3rd rounder and still get Fowler or Beasly. A few other trade back scenarios i would like to see us if Clevsland wanted to jump to #5 and gives up their 2 first rounders. Or if SD trades us Rivers and their 1st and something else for the 5th pick. Other than that i hope they stay in the top 10.

I don't want no stinkin' WR at #5. I'd rather trade down than take a WR.

I agree, take Stephon Diggs in the 3rd/4th round- use the high picks on LM /OLB

I think best case scenario is Leonard Williams falls to us at 5. damn beast

Versatile USC defensive lineman Leonard Williams persevered to become top draft prospect

Re: With the 5th pick in the draft the Washington Redskins select...

Top WRs last season and where they were drafted:

1. Antonio Brown (6th rd)
2. Demaryius Thomas (1st rd, 22nd pick)
3. Julio Jones (1st rd, 6th pick)
4. Jordy Nelson (2nd rd)
5. Emmanuel Sanders (3rd rd)
6. TY Hilton (3rd rd)
7. Golden Tate (2nd rd)
8. Dez Bryant (1st rd, 24th pick)
9. Jeremy Maclin (1st rd, 19th pick)
10. Odell Beckham Jr. (1st rd, 12 pick)

Given Scot McC's reputation of being an excellent talent evaluator, I think he can find a starting caliber WRs in the later rounds.

I don't think taking a WR at #5 is terrible; however, referring to a question JoeRedskins posted not too long ago, I'd rather have a safe pick in an area of need. I feel that taking a WR that high, you are taking them with the idea that they'd become a dominant playmaker. I don't think our team's fortunes can be turned around with one playmaker.

McCloughan is known as being an excellent talent evaluator partly because of the results he gets by simply taking the best player available. If he believes Cooper or White are BPA when we pick at 5, he'll pounce on it.

He doesn't sit there and say oh I can find a WR later in the draft. He picks the best player, regardless of need.

And thus he hits on late rounders. If a WR isn't BPA when we pick in the late rounds, he won't take one.

It has to be blind to position. Best football player, period. That's all that matters.

You fill needs in free agency. In the draft you stock your core with the best possible guys you can find.

I agree. If it were me, I'd trade down or, lacking a good trade partner, take Fowler. Our hotshot young receiver would have no one to throw to him, as things stand now.

But the WR argument is not as bad as some make it to be. It makes football sense in the salary cap era.

Diggs was a disappointment at Maryland. Never lived up to the hype. Has the talent though.

I'd prefer to take Tyler Lockett. Big time production at wr and punt returner. I watched a few K. State games (Baylor, UCLA and TCU) cause I was betting. Could not believe how ridiculous this kid was. Reminds me of a younger Deshawn Jackson except maybe better. He'll go in the mid rounds and it will be a steal.

This is why taking wr's high IMO is a waste. Always can find good value in the later rounds.

SM himself said that need factors into his draft day decisions. For the true BPA on his board to be selected, that player would either play a position of need or be considered by SM to be a much better player than the next player on his list who does play a position of need.

In this draft, if SM considers an OLB or OL to be close in ability to a WR, I don't think SM would take the WR. If SM believes that a WR is a much better player than an OLB or OL, then I think he would take the WR.
