Of those 3 I picked Winslow, but the first time I picked Sean Taylor, just to good an athlete to pass up. The variety of opinion shows that this pick really is a toss up.

[DBAHO]

Still Harris for me.

Suggestions for Lions are

Winslow

Taylor

Stephan Jackson

Kevin Jones

O line to protect Ramsey. Gotta be Andrews.

[Gene Honda Civic]

i'm surprised it's harris... I'll let it go until tonight. Then let the Lions poll run over the weekend.

Espesially since the Skins D is where all of their good players play.

They already have good OT. Their problem was Spurrier likes to keep nobody at all in the back field. You can't block 6 guys with 5 and thats what they were constantly doing this year.

I picked Andrews too. Some of it was Spurrier's system, but the Washington O-line is still below average(especially the guards), and I am a firm believer that the key to a good offense is a good O-line. Washington's O-line not only did a poor job protecting Ramsey, but they were poor run blockers as well(some of that is the system and lack of talent at RB as well). The Washington D was the strength of the team, so they shouldn't draft Harris. Besides, 5th overall is much higher then most experts project Harris to go. Most feel that he is a mid-1st round pick. I am still sticking to my Andrews pick, but if it comes down to Winslow and Harris, I would have to take Winslow.

 

Other names for the rest of the 1st round. Here is a pretty good website that accurately ranks players and should give you a good idea of what players to include for future picks.

I still think that Andrews is the best player of the 3, but I don't know if T is as much of a need as a stud DL to help Arrington. So I switched my pick from the 1st poll to Harris.

Exactly, Gibbs will hav max. protection for Ramsey, and they already hav Samuels, Jansen, Thomas and Fiore. They mav hav sum great LB's and Corner's but that doesn't mean nothin if they can't improve their D-Line.

Probable picks for the Lions:

Sean Taylor--S--Miami (Fla)

Roy Williams--WR--Texas

Chris Gamble--CB--Ohio State

Steven Jackson--RB--Oregon State

 

P.S.- I voted Winslow Jr. for the Skins.

The Lions really, really want a RB. I could easily see them trading for Corey Dillon. They may try to replicate Indy's three headed monster.

but they don't even have one head right now.

[DBAHO]

I think he means Philly, which will be losin one head with Staley or Buckhalter leavin. Detroit wants to giv Pinner a shot this year, they should really go afta Taylor for their secondary.

[SuperSteve]

but they don't even have one head right now.

Oh I agree, but they think they do. The have Harrington and Rogers (GO STATE!!!). Lions fans rave about them. That team needs so much, they could use any of these guys.
