34th Overall Pick

Mike Mayock comment on the Redskins' pick at #34:



“A guy that nobody is talking about that I love is Joel Bitonio from Nevada,” he said. “Most people assume he’s a guard. I watched him handle Anthony Barr from UCLA. I watched him against Florida State. I watched him against Boise who has a good edge kid in Demarcus Lawrence. I think Bitonio will start day one at right tackle and I think he’ll be there at 34.”


I did see him mentioned as a first rounder in a couple of mocks but he certainly could be there at 34.

One mock draft I saw actually have the Redskins picking him with the 34th pick.....

a mock draft I like

London Fletcher to announce our first pick.
And he suggests it to be OL. (good call London)

I still say secondary is the biggest need. It's been the most inconsistent area on the team the past 2 - 3 years. Ryan Clark will bring some consistency, but what does he have left? Out of the entire secondary, Hall has provided the most consistency- but that doesn't say much about that unit. Every good defense has a good secondary. The Redskins have question marks everywhere in this unit. Time to try to really make this a strength again.

There will be a good player that can upgrade the oline in the 3rd. In this draft, there's impact secondary players in reach with the 34th pick. I don't see that happening next year even in the first round. And pass rushers are the biggest boon or bust players in the draft. Just take that risk next year.

I want us to stick to the trenches, o-line, d-line, ILB.

Defense wins championships. To take it one step further, great physical secondaries can win championships. Seattle knows it's priorities and they have shown them by paying them well this past week.

... Or we can just keep getting by on defense with a possible weak secondary and defense again. And hope that RGIII puts this team on his back again and ride him to a winning season.

The most important positon on our defense is NT. We run a different defense than Seattle.
