I have the same suspicion about our choice @ OT being limited. Sounds like the FO doesn't view Oher as a value @ 13 (I think he'll be there but we pass on him). I don't know, guess i just have to go w/ their scouting on this one. Britton and the other guys are probably a reach @ 13...so yeah defense may be the 1st pick. DE? LB? Hard to say. Rey would surprise me now quite a bit.
I certainly hope that is not the case; although Oher may be slow learner or whatever that is holding him back, it is perfect reason for us to draft him.. We already have solidified LT in Samuels for two years or so, it would be perfect timing for Oher to jump into LT after he spends a year or so in our O system and is ready to play.. Some scouts spoke Oher in same breath with Odgen and Pace.. How can you pass an opportunity like that?
Granted, there are chances of Oher not blossoming into Pace-alike but at least we would not have to worry about our O-line for a while (unless we continue to do nothing at C)

Hey fellow Redskins fans, I'm new to the Warpath as far as replying to posts. Why do some Redskins fans or the the front office think that we need to change our starting QB again. Here are a few QB's that use to play for the Redskins ( Gus F. Trent Green, Brad Johnson, Pat Ramsey, Rich Gannon, Jeff George etc...) I think couple of these QB went to the Super Bowl and even had nice careers. Did the Ravens have a franchise QB in Dilfer and T. Banks ( Ex Redskin) when they won the Super Bowl? Did the Bears have a Franchise QB ( Grossman) when they lost to the Colts in the Super Bowl? Lets build our defense and O-line through the draft. Our Defense played great but they don't make enough game changing plays any more due to a lack of impact players such as Sean Taylor and Lavar Arrington. Lets stop trying to fined a so called Franchise QB and lets improve our defense to be Nasty like B-more and the Steelers. I live 45min. away from Los Angeles and I see USC games all season, I like Sanchez but not for our team cause we have QB that we have invested in so lets not give up on him so soon like the other former Redskin QB's we had. Lets Draft the best OL or Defensive Impact player.

Does anyone remember when Giant fans were down on Eli Manning his 1st few years until they won the Super Bowl? The G-Men draft OL and DL and helped Eli. When your defense can make plays your offense doesn't have to press the whole game. Did anyone see the 49ers game? JC drove us down the field throwing and with his legs moving the chains. He got us in the end zone but our defense could not get stop which led to a game winning fg for 49ers. What about the Rams game, when our defense needed to make a stop but allowed a long pass to a rams rookie wr which lead to the gm winning fg. Folks our defense is good but not great. I would not be mad if we took USC LB Malauaga , DT Raji. The DE in this draft are weak or 3-4 type hybrids. The only DE I would take in the 1st round is Orakpo. Michael Johnson of Georgia Tech has all the tools but does he have the motor and heart?

Well I would hardly call his 06 season "down." All those guys he was throwing to are average NFL wr's. Through all that he still managed 24td's 12ints and 3,500 yards and 61% completion rate and they were within one first down of going to the Super Bowl. That's pretty damn good and that just shows just how good Tom Brady is. If Jason Campbell could do that with the current group we have then there would be no Jay Cutler Mark Sanchez talk.By down, I meant by his own standards, not below average or anything. Basically, "Which Tom Brady season (04-07) doesn't belong."
I think getting purely technical, I'd take the Pats' WRs of 04/05 over our current group. But ultimately, I hope no one is blaming Jason Campbell for not being Tom Brady. There's a lot of starting QBs in this league, at least 28, who will never enjoy the type of highs that Brady has reached. I do believe Jay Cutler is among those 28 (as of course is Campbell).

I'd go O-line with our first pick. We have to address that.
Then maybe we could trade for a QB next season, depending on what happens this year. I think its pretty clear the top dogs dont care for JC.

I am sure that it has been reported, but Mel Kiper believes that "his good friend Vinny is has something up his sleave". He went on to say he thinks that the Redskins are going to trade up to get Sanchez.

The only thing worse than drafting Sanchez would be trading up to do so. That would be as boneheaded as DeSean Jackson spiking the ball before he crossed the goal line.

Here's Kipers 2008 mock draft: Mel Kiper’s 2008 Mock NFL Draft reviewed | myMockDrafts.com (http://mymockdrafts.com/2008/03/08/mel-kipers-2008-mock-nfl-draft-reviewed/) He gets some things right and he's privy to a lot of information but his word is hardly gospel.

:doh: Vinny does this i will go on Redskins hiatus...until he's fired. I mean i've never thought seriously about it before but I will not be able to stand watching for a while.
