Oh man! -

10. Redskins -- Cam Newton*, QB, Auburn
Mike Shanahan loves mobile quarterbacks, like John Elway, Jake Plummer and Donovan McNabb. He also loves QBs with big arms like Elway, McNabb and Jay Cutler. Newton is both. And we think Daniel Snyder can get over the character questions. The big question about Newton is how he'll fare away from a spread offense. If Tim Tebow can go in the first round, Newton will too.

​

 

I like the pick either RB or QB

 

I'd rather take a QB if a good one is available at that pick. You can get a starting RB later, but starting QBs go quick.

 

Can Ingram throw the ball?

 

Can we just draft a playmaker..please?

 

Go ahead and draft the best o-lineman...Unless a QB drops. No Locker.

 

I love the ingram pick. I hope it happens.

 

O-side playmaker!!!! one of several in this draft please!!!

 

90% of the mock drafts out there have us taking Ingram.

 

which means only 10% are possibly right. :shifty:

 

Either side, D or O, even Special Teams, after all of the dropped int's, lackluster kick returns, missed deep passes, lack of long runs, could someone find someone to make an athletic play outside of Wake and Marshall..please?

 

depends on what they do with the interior before I get excited about that. but he has a chance to be special. theres really no qb I can be comfy with at 15. maybe Gabbert.

 

RB is such a wasted pick in round 1. Dime a dozen position in today's NFL.

 

the guy I want is Leon Washington. solves the return game and hopefully can provide some 3rd down plays as well.

 

IMO Ross knows that this fan base and ownership wants a playmaker in here. He also knows that playmakers generate more revenue. I'm sure he's familiar with the response Dez has received in Dallas verse Odrick in Miami. Grrrrr. Therefore, I don't see us using a #1 pick on any QB who would sit for the first year, especially if Morano is still the coach. Right now I'd have to say the 3 front runners are Justin Blackmon, Julio Jones, and Ingram b/c these guys will create a spark to the offense that fans want to see (with Ingram being the fallback pick if the others are gone).

 

Unless he's the total package who can do EVERYTHING, then I don't want a RB in the first 20 picks.

 

Shanahan sure loved Donovan McNabb.

who wrote this? I think Don Banks is a tool but the article says Perloff.

oh Dr. Z, please get better.

 

Trade down, collect picks!!

 

NFLDraftDog has us taking CAM NEWTON:

NFLDraftCountdown also has us taking CAM NEWTON: (but with the 18th pick, I think they meant 15th).

I hope not .He is no better than RB and RW IMO .As bad as the Gators were this year they were able to stop him by lining up big linemen on the front seven and in the NFL they are all big .At least Ronnie can break through some of those tackles .

And he does not have the breakaway speed that we need.We can get another good back later in the draft .

 

This. QB in the 1st round, Henne sucks ect.

 

No, he meant 18th. Look at the date.

 

4 ypc and 2 TDs is stopping him? He had almost the exact same average last year vs Florida, but he got many more carries.

 

Please no. IMO he is just like RB and RW. I say either oline or qb. I'd love to trade for Leon Washington. He's underused in Seattle. I also wouldn't mind Julio Jones. Marshall and jones with bess in the slot could be deadly with the right qb

 

They stopped him in the first half .He had 22 yards plus 6 yrds running out the clock in the first half .In the second half the Gators self destructed and it was not much of a contest .Second half he had 15 more yards running out the clock .His average was improved by garbage time .Total for the day 49 yrds which was his lowest total for the year except for South Carolina who also put big linemen against him and was able to beat Alabama and hold him to 41 yards.

 

Then we could also watch Crowder and Washington have boxing matches in the locker room....:lol: those two are like oil and water...

 

The three guys I would not mind at #15 if they are available: Mark Ingram, Ryan Williams, and Julio Jones. I doubt Jones would be there and I feel like Ryan Williams can fall to late 1st, possibly early 2nd.

All I know is, I want us to trade back into the 2nd round and be able to pick up one of those three in the 1st, as well as drafting another playmaker in the 2nd. In the 3rd, I want noone other than DJ Williams. Then, we can start filling in interior OLine, possibly another RB, ILB, etc...later on in the draft.

Man, that would be a hell of a draft. Ryan Williams/Mark Ingram, Ryan Broyles/Ronald Johnson, and DJ Williams in 3 rounds? Someone make me GM of the Dolphins. Idk about Xs and Os, but I can sure as hell make this team at least exciting and fun to watch.

 

Crowder would be unemployed if it was my call. but hey, hes good for mouthing off and never backing it up

 

With the people running this offense I'm sure it wouldn't take long to see

 

Just curious on how you feel we can just draft playmaker's left and right when
this regime has yet to draft a playmaker on the offensive side in 3 years

 

I love this notion that the league is filled with successful late-round backs. I look around the league, and I see a whole lot of backs that were drafted in the 1st or first half of the 2nd round. Am I just crazy or something?

 

There's an Arian Foster, Blount, Bradshaw, Green-Ellis, Fred Jackson, and Chris Ivory on every team. And there are likewise as many of these type of backs available each year in rds 6, 7, and udfa.

Don't you get it?

There is a reason the top ten rushers in the league consist mostly of late rd picks, if they were even picked at all.

 

Generally speaking, all of the defensive lines in the SEC are pretty big. Even if you feel like Ingram is "no better than RB and RW," he's got one thing going for him that they don't . . . young legs. Personally, I think his skill set is far better and/or versatile than either of them. People fell in love with Ronnie because he ran a 4.3 at 235 lbs. Before he did that, he wasn't at all considered a guy that would go in the top of the 1st. People can moan and groan all they want about how he was misused here, but if he was half the back that homers on these boards make him out to be, the talent would have shown through. Don't get me wrong. I love the guy, and think he has a ton of talent. But he's not the "Top 5 in the league" back that so many on here love to think he is. He doesn't have Ingram's feet, balance, or vision. I think that much is abundantly clear.

 

well said Frayser

 

Sorry, but that's just an absurd comment. Let's look at the top ten rushers for the past few years:

2010: 4 out of 10 were 1st round picks
2009: 6 out of 10 were 1st round picks
2008: 5 out of 10 were 1st round picks
2007: 7 out of 10 were 1st round picks

Now, that's just 1st round picks. I could add in 2nd and even 3rd round picks (considering you specifically stated "late rd picks") and make your statement look even more ridiculous. I'm not sure if you just grew up in a region of the country that uses the word "mostly" a little more loosely than everyone else, but I'm not quite sure I'm seeing your point at all. Please feel free to enlighten me.

 

whatever is deemed the best "playmaker" at 15 is all I want. to me guys like Mallet, Locker and Gabbert cant step in right away.

 

Ok, you obviously completely mistook my post. I had thought I was laying the sarcasm on pretty thick. :lol:

I know "day 1" (formerly) picks typically are in the top 10 in rushing, that's why I made the comment I did. Same with naming the only late picks I could think of off the top of my head that are really worth a damn.

 

LOL! My bad. The polarization and extremism around here as of late has left me all but immune to sarcasm. Haha!
