While Gomes only had two years to prove his worth to NFL scouts while at Nebraska after transferring from Junior College, he wasted little time in becoming a fringe prospect and gained a reputation as a hard-hitter, a ball hawk, and an overall big play machine. He's got the size, strength, and coverage skills to play any position in the defensive backfield and even lined up as a linebacker at Nebraska when the situation called for it, so his versatility is a big plus, but most scouts project him as a strong-safety in the NFL.

So on paper, you've got a good looking player who can line up at multiple positions and has a great physical makeup. What's the downside in picking him? I think that the versatility that defines his game also hurts him. Teams can make him into whatever they want him to be, but at the same time, he's not a perfect fit for any position which hurts his status in the eyes of a lot of teams.

[quote=sdskinsfan2001;799500]Its the 5th round, we are getting some depth baby. Doughty is a free agent so DeJon Gomes will come in and be the back up SS. Now we have Atogwe and Landry as starters with Moore and Gomes as the backups. Another position settled.

Barnes, Atogwe, Landry, Hall - starting secondary
Orakpo, Fletcher, Riley, Kerrigan - starting Linebackers
Carriker, Bryant (Powe should be our next pick if available), Jenkins - starting defensive linemen

Hopefully we can resign Buchannon as our 3rd CB. Or use a pick to draft a prospect with a late pick. Gotta think positive guys.[/quote]

Last I checked, Carlos Rogers was still a Skin. You heard something?

Re: 2011 NFL Draft: Rounds 4-7
 

[quote=skinsfaninok;799427]Who would have thought the skins wouldn't even sniff at a QB?[/quote]

Yeah - somewhat surprising. Tells you a lot about what Shanny thinks about this year's QB class. Or it might say something about what he might do in free agency.

Re: 2011 NFL Draft: Rounds 4-7
 

[quote=Alvin Walton;799492]Well, I'd break that down in 12 parts and since some of them dont make picks for the Rdeskins any more, I'm going to remain optomistic.[/quote]

Yeah, I like to give the FO the benifit of the doubt. They know a lot more then we do. But with each different regime we always seem to struggle after the third round.

Re: 2011 NFL Draft: Rounds 4-7
 

So any takers? What random position will we draft next?

Yes. although Devlin and McElroy are still out there. We may yet go QB.

Center, please.

[quote=Lotus;799490]Now that's funny.

I don't get the pick. Grab Devlin or McElroy. Grab some lineman that we've never heard of. But there seems to be no place for Gomes, who seems not to be worth a space, anyway.[/quote]

Gnome is relatively fast and versatile...you can put him at SS or FS. Our safety position was complete shit last year...when Landry went down it all went to hell.

No offense but I thought that you were being sarcastic.

I'm glad that you see value to the pick. I obviously don't but of course I hope that you are right about this.

Re: 2011 NFL Draft: Rounds 4-7
 

Nope, it's Niles Paul.

Having a hard time being positiveright now. The draft is over. I don't think there's any significant talent remaining to get excited about.

Re: 2011 NFL Draft: Rounds 4-7
 

I'm sensing a pattern

Re: 2011 NFL Draft: Rounds 4-7
 

Vinny snuck the pick in! call the commissioner!

Re: 2011 NFL Draft: Rounds 4-7
 

Overview

Paul has the physical tools and mentality to become a valuable backup wide receiver and special teams player in the NFL. Has very good hands and makes some impressive grabs but route-running and separation skills are far behind his ball skills. Getting open on a more consistent basis would really help to complete his game. Can make some plays down the field vertically and in open space after the catch but won't really scare defenses as a true homerun threat. Tough player who has returned kicks, works hard when blocking, and will go over the middle. Paul's a mid-round prospect.
