I think that most of the mock drafts in this thread are very similar - and good - in terms of addressing the Redskins' needs. To me, there are only two issues in terms of needs versus availability.

First, it seems to me to be very likely that, if the Skins intend to acquire a RT in the draft, they will need to draft one in the 3rd Round or, if there is no run on OT's, the 4th Round at the very latest. The fact that we're looking for someone to fit in a zone blocking scheme should help us a little in terms of availability. So, right now, I'm expecting the 3rd Round pick to be an OT.

The Skins clearly want a RB in this draft. They want a RB who is a good receiver and who can make people miss. To get one of the players they would want for this role, they are probably going to have to use one of their 4th Round picks for this purpose.

Staring with their other 4th Round pick, I think that the Skins could go with the BPA, perhaps leaning toward OL, CB, and S.
