KI Skins Fan 04-14-2010, 10:01 AM Jason Fox is a very good football player, particularly in pass protection. It is only his injury history that has caused him to drop in the draft projections. If he checks out, he could be a 4th round steal. I think he could play LT, as well as RT.
I know that Ed Wang has gotten a lot of holding penalties, but I think he would be a good 4th round pick, as well. He is athletic, he has great size and long arms, and he seemed to stand out whenever I watched VT play. I think he could become a very good RT.
SmootSmack 04-14-2010, 10:39 AM A guy we might check out that's been joked about here is Ed Wang of Va. Tech. He's a converted TE that played LT last year. He's projected in the 5th to 6th I believe.
He's another of the "project" guys in that he'll likely need a year or two, but he's got the athletic ability for the scheme. Also, as someone pointed out in another thread, they should draft him just to give him #69!
We've definitely met with Wang a couple of times. I could certainly see him in the 5th or 6th
But as long as we're talking converted Tight Ends, give me Charles Brown
diehard 04-14-2010, 10:41 AM Keep in mind that if no trades are made by the 'Skins, when that 4th round pick comes around, it'll be smart to start drafting the best prospects 'regardless' of position needs.
jdc65 04-14-2010, 11:16 AM Wang in the 5th is a possibilty, he would fit the scheme. Brown would be an ideal fit if we could drop down in the 20s. If we could trade the 4 pick for a late 1st and an early 2nd, and then scoop up Brown AND Saffold, our Tackle situation would be resolved for a decade.
Generally I agree about Best Player Available, but we need to get 2 O-linemen out of this draft somehow, somewhere in my opinion.

Yea, that's the problem. Once you get into the 4th round, everyone really is a project. Capers definately wouldn't be able to start in week 1, but he does have upside and he fits.
Of the linemen that I have looked over, he seems to be the best fit in the 4th round range. There will be some sleeper guys available in the 5th and later, but who knows anything about them?
The team could also look at RB or Defense for a 4th rd selection. I just hope the team has their good scouting goggles on because we need multiple picks to be productive this year.
CultBrennan59 04-14-2010, 12:03 PM Tripp has seen Veldheer give up a sack
Capers, I believe I've mentioned here, was high on the Redskins radar screen for a while. As they don't have a 2nd round pick currently I'm not sure where he stands for them at this time
According to profootballweekly magazine, it says that Veldheer never gave up a sack in college while he started at Hillsdale. I'm taking their word over Tripps

If we don't trade our #4 pick for more picks then Fox in the 4th rd would be a steal, i believe one of his medical problems was an irregular heartbeat.

Absolutely. I really like the way he plays football. I, for one, didn't mention him because I was thinking that we'd probably be able to get Okung at #4 and we don't have another pick until the 4th round. Now, if we trade down from #4, I'd definitely like to see the Skins pick Charles Brown.

Really, everyone after Bulaga is a prospect of some sort. And because I have Anthony Davis ranked ahead of Bulaga, who is definitely a project, most of the first round tackles come with a developmental curve. At least compared to those of the last two years.
