[quote=Daseal;619123]Best. Player. Available.[/quote]

Not necessarily. I mean as I've said before, I don't believe Vinny is nearly as much of a BPA as he says he is. A lot of his first round picks I believe really have been BPA but after that I think he just picks whatever he wants and in many cases the one position he seems to avoid drafting at all cost is offensive lineman.

I personally like to look at is his quote about selecting a player at 13. I definately understand the sentiment towards drafting Orakpo but saying that no lineman was worthy of the 13th pick at that spot is just asinine especially seeing the way Michael Oher has played this year.

Like many fans I'm done with his ways. I don't trust him to do whats right. In fact I'd be willing to bet that if he's in charge of the draft next year none of our first two picks will be along the O-Line. Then we'll hear the same crap about his holy draft board and how no one there was worthy of our picks.

Re: Our 2010 First Round Draft Pick Should Be...
 

I don't care about Vinny. We have a roster where we need the best player available, regardless of position.

Re: Our 2010 First Round Draft Pick Should Be...
 

The o-line problems is the main problem I see and that is why I voted O-line. Guys like Alex Smith, David Carr etc... who were drafted as franchise QBs but were sacked to death because of non-existent o-lines, as another factor. (I know there is Matt Ryan & Joe Flacco but Ravens drafted some good o-linemen like Jared Gaither & 2 others the year before).

Obviously trading down for extra high picks is ideal but rarely do teams trade up for the top 5 picks.

Also, if there is a Javon Ringer type RB in the 2010 draft class we could pick up in the 4th rd, that would be super.

How many o-linemen do we need to draft???

1. LT
2. Starting RT???
3. Guard or Center - How about Edwin Williams???

Re: Our 2010 First Round Draft Pick Should Be...
 

[quote=Angry;619608][COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]No, it tells you that way too often QB's are over drafted. People fall in love with them and draft them too early. Guys like Matt Ryan, Joe Flacco, and Brian Brohm, get over drafted, meanwhile a guy like Chad Henne who is not much less talented and gets selected in the second. Everybody thinks that they are going to end up with the next Peyton Manning in the first round, when the reality is that they are more than likely going to end up with the next Jamarcus Russell, Brady Quinn, Vince Young, Matt Leinart, [B]Jay Cutler[/B], Alex Smith, [B]Aaron Rogers[/B], or Jason Campbell. I think that it is safe to say that only one of those names (maybe 2) were actually worth a first round selection. Neither was the first QB taken in the draft either. Joe Gibbs once said that if you can protect the QB, then there are about 26 guys who can play in this league, if you cannot protect them there are only about 5. I paraphrased because I didn’t want to screw his words up. Needless to say if you look at previous draft history you can find some 2nd-6th rounders that you can develop into solid starters that might be as effective as or better than 1st round draft picks at the QB position.[/FONT][/COLOR]

2010 NFL Free Agent Offensive Linemen
By: Roshan Bhagat

Age as of 9/1/09. All free agents listed here are done so with an optimistic outlook that a new CBA will be agreed upon. Accordingly, only four accrued seasons are necessary to obtain an Unrestricted Free Agency status on this list.

Jahri Evans, New Orleans Saints (26)
Jahri Evans is continuing to grade out as the team’s best run-blocking linemen week after week. The Saints have done a nice job of efficiently running the ball through the middle and on the right side of the line. His continual high level of play and positive, team-first attitude should translate to a high-end offensive guard contract at year’s end. Expect the Saints, who have nothing but positive things to say towards Evans, to richly reward him for his hard work and production.

Logan Mankins, New England Patriots (27)
Logan Mankins has been a very consistent player for the Patriots since he was drafted. That type of consistency is difficult to match, but with free agency inflating the value of offensive guards, the Patriots may end up letting him walk if the price isn’t right. They drafted a couple interior linemen last year and have to use some of their free money to re-sign other players. From what Mankins has said, he wants to stay on this winning franchise, but he could be one of the top players available next offseason.

Marcus McNeill, San Diego Chargers (25)
McNeill isn’t playing at an elite level this year, but is still an above average left tackle. He’s one of the “bigger” names at the left tackle position thanks to his spectacular, hyped rookie season. McNeill has also been undercompensated the last few years playing on his rookie contract as a 2nd round pick, which may incline him to ask for more money than he “deserves.” Any of the Chargers could feasibly be had this offseason and McNeill is no different, but with some of the offensive line woes of the Chargers, McNeill may be one of their top priorities. His long-term neck and back problems could be in the back of the team’s mind as well.

Daryn Colledge, Green Bay Packers (27)
Colledge is no longer viewed as the solution at left tackle in Green Bay. Mid-round TJ Lang has taken over the back-up position there. That alone is enough to make his value take a significant plunge. This will especially be overstated because of his poor performance in the team’s biggest game to date – Monday Night in Minnesota. Still, he’s an above average starting offensive guard and a great pass protector in the interior. Colledge’s value will most likely be highest to the Packers because he’s a great fit for what they do and they know his true value.

Jared Gaither, Baltimore Ravens (23) – Restricted FA
After being taken off the field on a stretcher in New England, Gaither luckily suffered no season or career threatening injury. His return to the field should come in the upcoming weeks. The Ravens have found their bookend tackles, with him and Oher on either side, and even if they can’t settle on a long-term deal with Gaither this offseason, they still have the ability to put a tender on him. At the very least, it would force teams to give up serious compensation for his services. Gaither’s length and athleticism make him an ideal fit at left tackle, but could possibly get him for less coin if they think Oher is capable of playing LT and pay Gaither on the right side.

Winston Justice, Philadelphia Eagles (24)
Justice is finally starting to live up to his expectations as a 2nd round selection. He’s played well in pass protection at right tackle replacing the oft-injured Shawn Andrews. The Eagles are in a tricky situation. Andrews has flashed so much potential and played well when on the field, but has struggled to give them enough snaps without getting injured. Should the team re-sign Justice, they could very well be putting Justice on the bench at the cost of a starter. They already have last year’s free agent acquisition, Stacy Andrews expensively riding the bench.

Kevin Mawae, Tennessee Titans (38)
Mawae has started all six games for the Titans this year, but with his contract expiring, the line may turn to Leroy Harris who will have been groomed for 3 years, sparingly seeing the field. If Mawae is up for another season, he could land on a number of teams, or just re-sign in Tennessee. He still has a little gas left in the tank and it the Titans pass on him, several teams will be lining up for him and accept the leadership he brings to the team.

Chad Clifton, Green Bay Packers (33)
Clifton has suffered a lingering ankle injury this season forcing the Packers to retreat to other options at left tackle. Even when on the field, Clifton hasn’t looked like half the player he was in his prime where he was one of the league’s best pass blockers. The years of injury and battle have worn on Clifton who has lost some of his discipline and been beaten on several occasions. If Clifton isn’t offered another contract in Green Bay, I wouldn’t be surprised to see the franchise’s great blind side protector call it quits.

Mike Gandy, Arizona Cardinals (30)
Gandy has struggled immensely and should definitely be upgraded this offseason. He doesn’t hold much value on the left side and may be asked to move to the right side for the rest of his career. If Arizona can’t find a better replacement, they could potentially try and get one more year out of him, but the Cardinals would be pushing their luck.


So, don't be surprised if we go this route and draft a QB

For purposes of this discussion, I'd like to assume that Vinny will be gone and that we'll have a real GM by the time we draft.

With that in mind, maybe we will draft a LT in the first round. If so, then it would be nice to pick up QB Jake Locker in the early second round.

I'm sure Mike Williams is a great guy, and kudos for dropping weight, but we should have had a better plan for our #3 OT.

If we swing and miss on a top-5 QB, it will set the franchise back at least 5 years. We are already one hell of a lot closer to being the Detroit Lions than the Atlanta Falcons. The Falcons have given Matt Ryan an adequate offensive line and an outstanding running game. Detroit threw Stafford to the wolves behind their poor O-line and got him injured after only 5 games.

It's been clear for a while now that JC wasn't the QB of choice this year, and with the way things have gone I think it's obvious both sides will move on. Especially with a new coach and (hopefully) new GM in place, a new QB is likely.

If we do draft Bradford, I want a long term coach in place, not a Holmgren who will walk away after 4 years the way Gibbs did. I envy the Eagles with Reid and McNabb being joined at the hip from day one. I want the next coach to be here for 10+ years, so I would prefer to look at someone in their early 40's to stabilize this franchise.

Lou Holtz and others seem to think that Bradford's only problem is learning how to fall on his back. That, and a good weight training routine, should be enough to keep him on the field. I don't think he had an injury history before this year?

I agree w/Matty, he's highly unlikely to be here next season. I also agree w/you that he seems gun shy & has regressed this year. I still think he can be a decent starter, or would've been here if Al Saunders had been retained.

Simply because he hasn't been injured before this year, and look at drew brees, that bad shoulder tear that he had a few years ago, seems to be doing just fine for him, if you ask me.

true, he would've ended up on his back a lot. But often JC is panicking when pressure isn't there. If he had confidence in the plays at least he'd have half the battle won, now he has no confidence in the system or the o line.

We may think we know where a player will be drafted but there are always surprises. He could fall.

Do you think that there will be four QB's taken in the first round (Clausen, Bradford, Tebow, and Locker)?

In any event, I'd look to draft a QB in the second or fourth round. Perhaps Jevan Snead, Colt McCoy, Zac Robinson, Ryan Mallet, or Max Hall.

Probably Sergio Render who plays guard at Va Tech (not DeChristopher who's a RT) & is in most top 5 guard lists. He's a senior and pretty athletic. I could see him playing tackle in the nfl.

Re: Our 2010 First Round Draft Pick Should Be...
 

I voted QB; however it really depends on where we draft, what players are available, and how deep the 2010 and 2011 drafts are at the QB and OL positions. it usually takes longer to develop a QB; where as 1st round OTs can usually start right away. If we are looking towards the future, and there was a "can't miss QB prospect sitting there," then drafting a QB would make the most sense. Our plan would be to draft a Qb with our 2010 1st round pick, draft an OT with our 2010 2nd round pick, and draft an OT with our 2011 1st round pick.

However, at this time, I personally don't think there will be any QBs available worth taking with a top 5 pick (which i presume we will have). However, alot can change between now and the draft and, in theory, taking a QB makes the most sense.

The absolute last thing we should do is draft a running back in the first or second rounds in 2010. Running backs have such a short "lifespan" of being productive in the NFL, we would be foolish to waste a high pick on a running back until we have a rock solid offensive line. Otherwise, the running back would be on the downside of his career before we had built up a good enough line around him.

Now, everything I just said goes out the window if the team does the smart thing and trades away all our "valuable veterans" for high draft picks (Haynesworth for 2 1st, Cooley for a 1st, Landry for a 2nd, etc.) We're rebuilding in a capless year - As much as we love some of them, there's no sense keeping these guys around.

Re: Our 2010 First Round Draft Pick Should Be...
 

It's worth noting that 13-16 NFL teams need offensive tackles like there is no tomorrow. The only advantage of picking in the top ten is that we can actually snag one of those guys before a majority of those teams have a shot.

Clearly there are other offensive needs as well, but especially in a light year for receivers (i.e. a year that teams who lack both receivers and OTs don't have the allure of a WR to keep them from creating a run on OTs), the Redskins NEED to capitalize on their draft position and get a tackle before it's too late.

Now, if for whatever reason, we end up picking closer to the middle of the round, then we'll probably have more reason to pick a RB or QB.

In no way is Haynesworth traded even for 2 1sts, then the skins would have paid him 40 + million for one season. No chance that happens.

QB if there is quality,but id go with best EVALUATED talent at QB,OL,RB but there maybe enough talent in the free agent market for OL,RB but QB there wont be.Everyone doggin on Bradford ,but he is smart with his decisions and is accurate(even after he came back from his shoulder injury)and we havent seen that since Rypien was slinging the rock.There are a few QB that are 2nd rounders that may be worthy.

Everyone who thinks QB is the top choice needs a cat scan
