2009 NFL Draft Chat/Discussion

We just might be Dominant on Defense ,,,, we should get some turnovers and score some more points . Now if we can luck out in the 3rd rd and hit a find on day two , we could see some Redskins football . I just wish we opened at home vs the cowturds.

Well so much for going back in for Oher.

Mangini saw how much Mangold helped the o-line in New York and took Mack. Smart move. I think Orakpo may play SAM on first and second and DE on third down. Similar to what they had in mind for JT. Ravens get Oher.

Oher goes to Baltimore, now if they get rid of Lewis, I might be able to stomach them.

oher goes to baltimore, now if they get rid of lewis, i might be able to stomach them.

lol...

I hope he stays healthy and Blache finds a way to fit him into our system well. It's unclear to me where they will put him. Long term i think Orakpo's best chance of making an impact is RDE...but I highly doubt we sit Carter immediately. I can't see the guy playing OLB in our system unless we're going to teach him to cover and make plays in space. And finally i don't see him as a a run-blocking monster at LDE...so again not sure where Orakpo fits but i guess we can say the Skins took the BPA at 13...that's nice.

I've been thinking about it (and I haven't seen the presser with Vinny if he said anything) but I actually don't see a reason why Orakpo can't play the LDE position. He is 266, he is strong as hell ... what I am saying is that he is not a 235 lbs. Jason Taylor. In fact, if you read the profile of him on NFL.com it says he might be better suited to the strong side because "he lacks great explosion and pass rush off the edge." I haven't watched full game tapes of the guy, obviously, but it seems to me he can set the edge and offer some pressure from the strong side.

when asked VC said the question would have to be answered by Greg, he(VC) just acquires the players.

Be the best case scenario if it worked there...I hope his body can take the pounding at LDE.

...was very surprised to hear Ayers is expected to put on another 15 or 20 lbs in the NFL, putting him close to 290lbs. Anybody here that before today?

Ok i gotta say it...whoever takes Rey from this point probably gets the best value in the draft. Wells could be that guy too but the injury history isn't comforting.

anybody else surprised by Philly picking another WR in the mold of DeSean Jackson?
