2011 NFL Mock Draft thread.

This is a big deal. Who will get to wear #10 next year? Young or Locker?

Also, weird story. NFL.com won't allow fans to order a #10 Redskins Jersey with Young's name on the back. hmmmmmmmmm

I like the 4/20 jerseys for Mallet.

The latest mock that Tim and Pat did on Moving The Chains had the Skins taking Kaepernick in the 2nd round. Just tossing that out there.

Much rather get Locker than Young in that jersey. Where can I get one of those 420 jerseys? I think if Mallet goes to a "good fit" team, he will make a bunch of so called "experts" look very stupid.

So from what I've gathered over the past few days, here's what I think are their preferred draft scenarios

#10

-If Quinn is there, he's a Redskin. Been saying this for months, and I still believe it to be true

-If Quinn is not there, it may mean Von Miller is (though really not likely). In that case they take him

-If neither are there, there is no one else they really like at 10 and will look to move down

#41

-If available Andy Dalton is probably their guy. Locker and Ponder also very strong possibilities (again, if available)

-If none of the above are available, they probably look to move down again and add a DT and perhaps RB (unless someone like Mark Ingram is actually sitting there at 41)

-If they don't get a QB at #41, look for them to target McElroy or Tyrod Taylor in the later rounds

(and yes, they're still very interested in Young)

So, to summarize-

Ideal scenario with no trades for Skins at this point looks to be Quinn and perhaps Dalton (though Dalton is not far and away above other QB options, personally I take Locker over Dalton)

As for FA, same guys I've mentioned before Davin Joseph, perhaps Ryan Harris, and now looks like Vince Young too. Don't know the latest on Sidney Rice interest and haven't figured out who this RB they're supposedly interested in is.

I think Jammal Brown comes back, my opinion. But Rogers is increasingly a long shot. He simply wants too much money.

Nothing new on Haynesworth and McNabb. Thought they wanted to bring back Grossman, but that was before all this VY talk.

i agree aldon smith i think is a great compliment to Orakapo. better than Quinn because of his athleticism

Aldon Smith has a similiar build to Andre Carter, maybe Jevon Kearse. Does Smith fit what we need him to do?

^^ Thanks SS. That is very helpful. My preferences are slightly different but I can live happily with the basic scenarios you have described.

Good summary. If you trade away picks for players you have to know that you'll re-sign them. To let McNabb and Brown walk after one year would be a major frown on decision making and planning.

thanks for the update SS. I really hope im wrong about Quinn, hate that pick at 10. I like DE/LB from Cal or Aldon Smith better than Quinn. Von Miller is not gonna be there. I pray we can move back from 10 spot and pick up a pick...

Glad we are picking up a young QB, but not Young at QB. Ill get behind whomever, but Young already caused one head coach to leave, Shanny very easily could be the next with this move of choosing McNabb over Young...so McNabb is not the right fit, but Young is...??? ok we will see

Yeah if we bring VY in I don't see REX coming back, I'd be ok with a QUINN-DALTON draft although I really want Locker, either way this team just needs TALENT!

Aldon Smith has a similiar build to Andre Carter, maybe Jevon Kearse. Does Smith fit what we need him to do?

He's a very versatile player on the line and also drops back into coverage. If they play him at OLB maybe we get lucky and he turns into "The Stork"...Ted Hendricks. :)
