I know some fans thought the team was holding back with FA signings but, if you ook at the quality of UFAs, there wasn't a slew of talent and youth available; Dansby being the exception. Now heading into the draft there's still too many 'what ifs'. That's why teams draft the best player available. How much can we lean on Kemoeatu playing NT or Haynesworth for that matter? Would it be smart for the team to purposely play Haynesworth at NT to push him towards a buyout of his contract? I just don't think any team considers Clausen a Top 5 pick so, it's quite a reach to draft him there. It is believable that (in no particular order) McCoy, Suh, Okung, and Bradford (pending his workout) are the consensus Top 4. So by default, one of them will fall into our lap.

This is where trade scenarios come into play. I don't think it's priority to draft a 4-3 DL such as Suh or McCoy; not at 4th overall. What's intriguing is what will SEA and KC do at 5th and 6th overall. SEA has two first rounders and could look to trade with WSH to leapfrog KC to get their guy. That could be a good position to be in.
