34th Overall Pick

There should be a early 2nd round pick that scouts give a first round grade.....we should be able to land a ggood player.

I have a sneaky feeling we may wind up switching back to a 4-3.If this is the case a 4-3 OLB becomes a pretty big need.

I will be very disappointed if we don't make a strong push for Byrd in FA. The safeties in this draft look kind of weak and we haven't had a centerfielder type FS since Taylor passed.

So much will depend on the coach that comes in.

I agree with this. Jairus Byrd probably won't settle for less than 10 million a year, but he'd be worth it. He alone would upgrade our secondary from bad to respectable. And outside of Pryor, Buchanon, and Clinton-Dix, all who will probably be gone by the 3rd round, the safety class is pretty weak. So assuming we don't take a safety with our first pick, Byrd needs to be a top priority.

34th pick should be spent on either RT or Front Seven. Best available from that group

10 million is too much for any player that is not a QB.

I agree. But safety is a huge need, so we basically have 3 options: overpay Byrd and drastically improve our secondary, take a safety with our first pick in this years' draft and miss out on some good OL that will be available, or sign a stopgap in FA and hope Rambo, Thomas, Meriweather, and whoever else we have is good enough to get by. Berry makes 10.2 million a year, Polamulu makes 10.1, and Weddle makes 8.6. So I doubt Byrd would settle for much less than 10. And we have a lot of cap space, so I'm in favor of signing him.

Could go after T.J. Ward, would be cheaper.

True, and it could be wiser, since Byrd might get outrageous with his salary demands. But Byrd in a Redskins uniform would be pretty sweet.

Only when referring to my wife.

But I agree and I fell we will have at least one OL signed in FA and one in the draft. (Hoping for Alex Mack myself), I think what everyone else is saying is that if you get someone like Marquise Lee to drop to 34, take him. Myself I just wanna know who our coach is and who we sign in FA before I decide who I want for the draft:

My dream Free Agents:
1. Jairus Byrd (Would settle for TJ Ward also)
2. Alterraun Verner (Would settle for Sam Shields or Talib)
3. Alex Mack
4. Jeremy Maclin (Would be cheaper than Decker although Decker is the better player)
5. ANY PUNTER!!!!
2.

I have an out of the box idea...wait and draft a quality DB/Safety what about Phillip Thomas?

That is not really out of the box at all, I am fine with Thomas starting at SS next year, but what about FS? And CB? We need both of those positions. And whose to say this "quality" DB/S will be any good and where are you gonna draft him at? This draft isn't as deep with secondary talent as last year.
