What are we going to do at DE?

One position no one is talking about drafting is linebacker. I think Fletcher will play well but whos gonna take his place when he retires, I think hes 32 years old already. Plus we have little depth at the position. Im not saying draft one with the 6th pick, but if we trade down it would be wise to pick one. trust me i know everything

Well, there's talk that Lance Briggs may not be out of the question just yet.

Even so, the linebackers are set this year with Washington, Fletcher, and McIntosh/Marshall. The problems along the D-line far outweigh the need for a long-term project to replace London Fletcher.

I will be pissed if we trade for Briggs

Part of the reason that I want to draft a stud d-lineman (like I hope Okoye will be) is that it will take some of the pressure off of Carter and he'll be a more effective pass rusher. He started to look really good at the end of the season and I don't see any reason that he he can't be even better this year; especially if he has some help right next to him.

I heard Charles Mann was at Redskins Park for a workout yesterday...

I think Okoye could be a DE/DT tweener if we draft him. He's got good burst and is very quick for his 298lb frame. Man I hope we land him.

There is absolutely NO DOUBT that we need a DE in the draft. Taking Landry is DUMB because we don't need a safety as bad as we need DL help. The ultimate scenario is if we can trade down and get Okoye at 9 or so, then pick up a DE with the pick we get from that deal.
If we do not trade down, I feel we will still have at least 1 hole to fill. DE is incredibly weak with only Carter being a viable option. He was only OK last year, so not even Carter is entrenched in this position...it needs help bad.

whats sad is right now he would probably get some playing time

Okoye's frame reminds me more of a DE than a DL, but he's only 19 and hasn't "filled out" all the way yet. I don't care where we put him, I firmly believe Okoye is one of those special picks that you'll look back and go DAMN IT if you don't draft him.

I'm hoping we pick up one of my HOkies in the later rounds - Noland Burchette. He's a little small - 6'2, 260 - but is a disciplined DE that could earn some time as a pass rushing right de.

Any help is good help. Wynn and Daniels are not cutting it.
