Robs favorite guy Jason LaCanfora was reporting that there was increased speculation that the Skins would go with Eric Berry with their top pick but in the end we took O lineman, Trent Williams.
I like the pick. It seemed that it was between Okung and Williams but Williams seems to be the better fit for the system. Again, a good thing. We didn't go with just the sexy name but went with who we thought would be the better fit.
I also like that we drafted for need and not the best available player. In years past, we didn't seem to do that.
I would have been okay with Berry but the more pressing need for years has been O line and I'm happy that we took a big step in addressing that.
The Skins traded away their 2nd round pick for McNabb so he essentially is our second round pick and I'm good with that. We gave up our 3rd round pick when we took Jeremy Jarmon in the supplemental draft last year. Jarmon was expected to be a first or second round pick this year so I'm good with that. We won't draft until the 4th round unless we make a trade for Haynesworth. That is a decent possibility given that we have brought in several linemen that better fit the scheme. Again, a good thing.
Haynesworth is still one of the best D linemen in the game but we cannot afford to let his attitude effect what is being created here. I am happy keeping him and actually prefer to do so given that we have already paid much of his guaranteed money but then again, it's not my money so what do I care about that. I want a guy that is willing to play and not complain. If he plays, I hope he stays. If he complains, ship his fat arse outta here.
HAIL SKINS!!!

Very good pick. If snyderatto were still in charge you would be crying about Clausen right now.
If they can trade FA for an early second rounder they could get a great right tackle. They'd be set for the next decade.
