Shanahan: Williams is a natural for zone-blocking scheme

Buffalo is w/o a plan at QB, might meet the price of a third rounder for Campbell.

I would, if I could, try to pick in both the 2nd and 3rd round. I think we can probably get high enough to get McCoy with that 2011 first rounder, and I'm thinking Campbell can probably net a third at this point.

Go from no picks tomorrow to two like that.

I felt if TW went anywhere, we would get the most production out of him, seeing how Shanahan turned Clady into an All-Pro. The kid might not be as motivated as Okung, but I think if the O-line coach can push him and he listens to Samuels he will be a better pro than Okung.

I personally felt that way about a lot of offensive players we were considering including Clausen and Bradford. Okung I felt was one of those few players along with McClain that I think will be successful no matter where they go. I hope that Suh and McCoy develop, as both of them are high character guys but DT's do have a high bust rate.

3 syllable words/names/phrases make for the best chants

Thats true.

Yeah, I'm starting to feel better about this pick. Hope we can motivate this dude to hit the weight room and work his butt off. Maybe Shanahan & Allen will be able to slip in a bunch of incentives into the contract.

And we can still pick up free agents for left or right tackle and fill Williams in the other spot. Versatility is invaluable. Anyone for Flozell??

I'm very happy with this pick. Now we have a LT for years to come.. So when does jc get moved?

Maybe the Bills? They were heartbroken that Tebow went to Denver per Rich Eisen (sp?) They can still get McCoy or Clausen but can't be to high on them if they were really trying to trade into the 1st again to get Tebow.

Ehhh. Lets see if we can't get GTripp's guy, Edwin Veldheer (T Hillsdale) when we pick in the 4th.

Very possible. He could be a beast in this scheme.

You know what's a weird strategy, identifying a need on your team and drafting to fill that need. It is really an alien concept around here.

It's effective to a point. For example the way we did it tonight was a more then acceptable way to fill a need through the draft. The way the Jags did it....not so much.

Congratulations to Allen & Shanahan for having just finished making their 1st (and so far) only draft pick for the Washington Redskins. If the coaching staff is happy with the selection then who am I to disagree? I'm glad he's a player they feel fits their scheme and hope he can be as successful as the man he's replacing.

If they like him, I love him....right position, right player!!
