I also change my mind. Here's how I would draft for the Skins today. My goals for the draft are as follows. First identify a potential franchise QB that will bring stability to the games most important position. I also wanted to add a front 7 player (DE, OLB, or NT) to help with the switch to the 3-4.
In the later rounds I had a couple more objectives. First add at least one lineman to help feed the teams current pipeline that includes Cook, Kory L, and Capers.
I was also interested in adding a receiver that if worst comes to worst could possibly contribute on special teams. Finally I wanted hedge my bets at RB and add two late round picks that could compete to be the next hidden gem under Shanahan. Also was interested in adding a LB (Outside or Inside) to at least provide depth for a unit that will field 4 players on most down.
In all the picks I was interested in adding high character hard working guys that would buy in to the Skins Team First concept.
10 (R1) Jake Locker - QB - Washington - I believe the Redskins O-Line will be significantly improved this year so long as they're able to resign Brown and get Davin Joesph as a Free Agent. That would give Locker something he never had in 4 years at Washington, a solid Offensive Line that can give him time in the pocket. With his physical skillset, work ethic, and tutelage under Shanahan the skies the limit. His ability to throw outside the pocket may be second to none (70% passer outside the tackles).
41 (R2) Jurrell Casey - NT - USC - Short squaty nose tackle that may be under weight on draft day for a Nose Tackle (currently 300 pounds). Still plays the run very well, plays hard, and is a solid character guy. Also capable of getting a little bit of a push on the pass rush.
144 (R5) Darvin Adams - WR - Auburn - Auburn wide receivers coach Troop Taylor has said that Adams practices at game speed and needs to be slowed down when the team practices in shells. Hard worker that gained five pounds during the 2010 off-season. Has said that he wants to execute every play and help teammates get open when he doesn't get the ball.
155 (R5) Stefen Wisniewski - C - Penn State - Hard working technician that can hopefully entice the team to replace Rabach.
177 (R6) Evan Royster - RB - Penn State - Tough back with good to great vision (reports vary). Has a good reputation as a pass blocker. Rushed for a 1,000 yards each of the last 3 years.
213 (R7) Jonas Mouton- OLB - Michigan High motor player. Former Captain. Decent coverage ability for an OLB. Lack of top end speed might keep him from turning the corner at the next level.
224 (R7) Ryan Whalen - WR - Stanford - Good size and former walk on that went on to be one of the teams better receivers. Does a good job of fighting for jump balls. Not a deep threat. Likes to run block.
253 (R7) Damien Berry - RB - Miami - Hard worker capable of playing special teams. Don't know to much about him as a runner, but I do know the skins have met with him in some capacity so maybe they see something.
