Please Draft ??? at #13

Unfortunately, there's not a true DE on the list to pick from. Next to Haynesworth, a DE would have a hell of a lot more of an impact to the team than an OT or LB would.

Drafting a pure LB with our 1st pick should be out of the question as this draft is extremely deep in LBs. Theres not enough of a difference in an LB here and one we could find in the 3rd round to make the move worthwhile. Assuming we go for 2 of the 3 needs (OT/LB/DE) with our 1st and 3rd round picks, we will find a hell of alot better LB in the 3rd round than we could an OT or DE, so it makes more sense to go with one of those two positions with our first pick.

Also, of these three needs, LB is the position we are deepest at presently, and its the position we can get even deeper at simply by resigning marcus washington. If you agree that DE is our greatest need, then drafting Orakpo or Maybin would be comparitively foolish, since he'll be playing LB on 1st and 2nd downs and DE on 3rd. Which is why i'd go with Everett Brown or Robert Ayers if theyre on the board at 13. Think about it - which front 7 would you prefer:

1. Carter, Griffin, Haynesworth, Ayers
McIntosh/Thomas, Fletcher and Washington/Blades

OR

2. Carter, Griffin, Haynesworth, Wynn/Daniels
McIntosh, Fletcher, Orakpo or Maualuga

To me, the first option presents a far more dominant defense, but thats just my opinion.

If we're picking at 13, Andre Smith is the most likely OT to be there, and he's got two knocks against him: 1. Questionable character, drive, work ethic, etc. 2. He can't play LT (where as Oher has the potential to play LT and allow Samuels to move right and prolong his career). In the end, if available, I feel either Ayers or Brown would be the safest, most prudent investment to make at 13.

If it were up to me, and we had to pick a player at 13 (no trading up or down), this is how i would fill our teams 3 primary "conventional wisdom" needs:

DE - (First Round Pick) Robert Ayers, Tennessee
OT - (Third Round Pick) T.J. Lang, Eastern Michigan
LB - Resign Marcus Washington and sign the best OLB available in the 5th round.

Sanchez, were getting next year Number 1 overall if he'd stayed another year at USC. That way if Campbell fails, Colt and Sanchez fight it out.

ANYONE!! Please keep this pick and don't try to trade up for Sanchez. Keep our picks!!

If you draft a quarterback, instead of an offensive tackle in the 1st round. You pretty much seal Jason's fate anyway.

Please get oher or orakpo if neither then trade down or get rey maualuga

You guys think there is any chance Curry would fall to 13? probably not right...sigh
I think a top 4 OLineman or DLineman would be fine in this position...or Rey

Quick, someone publicize a terrible rumor about Curry...he eats babies or something like that...then maybe he'll fall to us.:)

1. If possible trade up to get Orakpo.

2. Take the best available OT. Oher, Smith or if they're both available take Smith, because his play ismuch more consistent compared to Oher's. If you watch Smith's film he is arguably the best OT in this year's class.

3. Trade down. Assuming Sanchez is there this would be the smart move, (but the Redskins would most likely pick him). Trade with the Jets, pick at 17 drating Oher, Maybin, Brown, and pick up there 2nd looking at a C/G.

Why is there no talk about Duke Robinson OG 6' 5" 329.
Is it because he played at the less glamorous OG position in college as opposed to the OT position? This guy can play Right OT in the NFL.
Why take the fourth best OT (Oher) who is 6'5" and 309 pounds and pass on the best OG who is bigger and played some OT in college. He started 10 games a true freshman and played well at LT.
Everywhere I look to read about Robinson they talk about this can't miss "Road Grader", big , great athlete.

WAY too high for him. He's looked at as a mid 2nd rounder, max. He's not a first rounder and being the #1 prospect in a weak class for OG doesn't make you worth a high draft pick.

I want the fat kid from Alabama. Is that Smith? I know he's got some issues but he could probably step in and start at RT and we've got some vets to take him under their wing. I'm not sure why everyone is so high on Orakpo. I didn't see a ton of Texas games but the ones I did he didn't impress me at all.

AND ANYONE BUT SANCHEZ. He's not even better than party boy Leinart and he couldn't beat out John David Booty who can't beat out Tavarus Jackson.
