Since we are trading down.......

Here's something to take solace in for the people who are afraid of Landry...

While Okoye is my top pick, I wouldn't be the least bit sad with having a safety of Landry's dimensions on the roster. Griffin should be totally healthy next year, Fletcher will hold down the middle far better than Marshall. We KNOW we'll have a great LB at weakside no matter what because either Rocky is good enough to supplant Marshall OR Marshall is beast at WLB much like he was in 2004 and 2005.

How many times was Archuleta or one of the other scabs scorched in the secondary? A LOT. Now with PP coming back AND possibly the drafting of Landry, don't worry about runs up the middle. Sure, I still think we need to go DT, but don't be upset if we get Landry. He's without a doubt one of the best safety picks since Sean Taylor.

Next year? Well, perhaps not much. But what about in two or three years when we have an NFL caliber d-line? Just picture us down the road with a good DL, and LL and ST patrolling the middle of the field. That's the real payoff. You can't get both this year, so you go for the best one that's available. That would be LL, by far.

when this draft is so deep with defensive linemen, why wait? it seems like good safety's are easier to come by then quality defensive linemen

rvd420 · 04-20-2007, 05:24 PM

yeah but we already signed 2 corners and with priloeau coming back at 100 percent doubt that will happen

and priloeau played 3rd down corner alot in 2005

rvd420 · 04-20-2007, 05:32 PM

maclin is just for depth.smoot and samuel as 1 and 2 corners would be the shit,with rogers as nickel to compliment those two,could you imagine the ints we would have.

Oh man. Asante again? That just isn't gonna happen. I agree with TMC. As long as we somehow address the D-line issue (I'm a big fan of Kris Jenkins), I would love to have Landry.

How sick would it be to have Landry and Taylor prowling back there? There isn't a WR in the league who wouldn't be afraid to go over the middle playing us. Landry can cover very well, and he is a phenomenal open field tackler. I'm in SEC country, and I watched him play basically every weekend. He's not the flashy big hitter that Taylor is, but he's every bit the ball hawk. While Landry may not be the pick most Skins fans want, we should still be very excited if we pick him. That being said, I still think we're going after a D-lineman.
