Re: Munching the Redskins Draft: A. Smith, Oher, and Cushing lead

I doubt Oher falls to 13. Hard to say w/ Smith but I'm still on the fence w/ this guy... it's day to day i guess

Meanwhile, Rey is looking likely to still be on the board so I thought I'd share analysis from NFL.com:

Positives: Good initial quickness off the snap. ... Quickly gets to top speed, flashing rare downhill explosiveness for the position. ... Reads the action quickly. ... Willing to take on blocks and has the strength and hand technique to shed quickly. ... Good lateral quickness to evade blockers and has the speed to beat backs to the flanks. ... Gets good depth on his pass drop and is quick to close on the ball. ... Punishing hitter with four career forced fumbles. ... Productive pass rusher with the speed to close on even mobile quarterbacks. ... Can break down in space to make the secure open-field tackle.

Negatives: Has a tendency to overpursue, opening holes in the defense for quick and savvy ballcarriers to exploit. ... Too often relies on his explosive hitting to knock down ballcarriers, rather than wrapping up to make secure tackles.


He's got the skill to cover and rush the passer!!! Sounds like he may be the short term upgrade at OLB we need today and the monster MLB we'll need just around the corner Say what, how are people not excited about this kid like I am?
