draft O-line
 

Just seeing what you guys think about drafting O-line this year.I think we definitely need to draft a guard in 3rd rd.maybe Roy Scheuning or Branden Albert.If we happen to trade down and pick up a 4th then maybe a Center Doug Legursky or Kory Lichtensteiger.If we go free agency perhaps Jason Brown(Balt.)or Rex Hadnot(Miami)Hopefully Jansen will restructure and stay but he has been hurt lately and even when healthy hasn't played well.It's time to look for his replacement IMHO.Thoughts....

Re: draft O-line
 

I wouldn't mind a DE in the first round and O linemen in the second and third rounds.

now you're thinking like a championship winning GM

Re: draft O-line
 

I look at this like this: Between now and 2009, the Redskins will need to address the following positions: DE, DT, CB, C, and G. It doesn't really matter which order they address these positions in, except that they want to address the positions as the value dictates to insure that they get quality performers at all those positions.

Re: draft O-line
 

Well, the O-Line is getting old, so yes, we do need to address it, but not in the top picks. We should use a later pick on a big strong guy that needs work on footwork or something, and let Bugel shape the youngster into a stud. We are always looking for the "quick fix, right now", and what we really need to do is take on some projects that are a couple steps away and coach them up into great players.

First of all, you forgot WR. I feel that we should get a solid, not too huge a name veteran CB to help develop the young group that we have. As far as G and C go, good ones are not too hard to find in the free agency for a reasonable price and even if we do not pursue that route, there are quality O-lineman a few rounds deeper in the draft. As far as D-line goes, from what Ive read Blanche is a very hands on defensive coach. The line being his specialty, I am looking for him to personally select one or two (perhaps DE and DT) and develop them into powerhouses. IMO, the new era of the Redskins will be known for its defensive line instead of its offensive line. Luckily, the Gibbs II era provided for the development of solid offensive linemen for years to come.

Re: draft O-line
 

cb first round, de 2nd, oline 3rd and one more later on, then best available

Re: draft O-line
 

Relax guys Vinny is in control. I am sure he will make good draft picks. Ok i am scared now.

Re: draft O-line
 

Vinny cant even pick his nose. He will probably be confused. Someone should tell him he has to PICK first, then PAY them... not the other way around.

Re: draft O-line
 

I think drafting O-line in the middle of the draft with 3rd rd is a good idea, maybe with 2nd rd. The more people you have in comp for positions the better they will perform vying for those positions and this is one area that we need top quality performers

LOL, cool.

Re: draft O-line
 

I was thinking the same thing, I would love trade up (without giving up too much this time) and get a high 3rd round pick to get a quality gaurd, while I would like to get a safety in the 2nd (Im not sold on Doughty)

Re: draft O-line
 

After the Giants won the SB today, now the blueprint for other teams to beat them will be stop their awesome Defense. With said I guess OL would be in the cards for us eventhough we need a DE more.

Re: draft O-line
 

de, ol, fast cb, wr may be most likely to get us quality starters, though obviously cbs/wrs from the 3rd round or below wouldn't be starting the first 2 years...

at some point i'll dig out the stats and such for guys i'd like to have specifically... probably after the combine.

Well put. I think you can add OT to that list as well. Hopefully Heyer will continue to develop, but he's the only one under 30 on the roster.

Re: draft O-line
 

Theres one thing I'm sure or. Whoever we draft in the later rounds (2nd-3rd) about 75% of the people on this forum will have never heard of him. I just hope at this point we don't have a bad WTF pick in the first round.

Re: draft O-line
 

It all starts up front. Draft OL and DL.

Re: draft O-line
 

We need to draft a DE early, maybe a DT later, an OG or OG/C in the 2nd or third, maybe another OL late.

Re: draft O-line
 

id like to go CB, DE, and then the rest oline

Re: draft O-line
 

I say Roy Schuenning 3rd rd.

exactly.

Re: draft O-line
 

We just need to draft good lineman. We are old and not very deep in both of our lines.
DE and OG are a priority but getting the best lineman would be fine. Talented big guys are harder to find. You can get WR's and skill position players anywhere. There are always a ton of them in FA every year.

Re: draft O-line
 

I say we use our 2nd rounder on an O-Lineman. I think its VERY important we get another stallwart to grown with the promise behind Heyer. Personally I wouldnt mind if Heyer competes for a starting spot. And wins it. The question however is if we can toss Jansen or Samuels. Both are professional INJURIES waiting to happen. We need youth on that O-Line and we need it fast.

I personally like Chris Williams out of Vandy and Sam Baker out of USC.

Re: draft O-line
 

I think we have some solid starters. We just need some serious depth. I'm sure we can dip into some of the later rounds (4th-7th) and pick up a couple of decent backups. And who knows, we might find a diamond in the rough somewhere in there.
