I'd take either Smith or Oher at that spot, if either one is available. With OTs being a position of need for most of the teams picking before the redskins (BTW- I believe this is the reason why those teams are picking at the top of the order), that would probably only leave one of them available at 13.

From the games and videos that I have seen with Smith, he appears to be the most physical OT in the draft - even if he didn't display this in his workouts. My only question mark about him (and it's a big question mark) is that he's coming from a run-first system and there's not enough to go by to see if he's also as good in pass protection. But yeah even with this, he's a football player. I'm not paying attention to all the concerns about his pro day showing and his leaving the combine - the redskins would be lucky to snatch him up if he falls this far down.

If Smith or Oher weren't available at 13, then I like Cushing or Maualuga, or maybe even one of the top DEs (not seen enough film to know who though, just liked group of DEs they highlighted on tv the other day).
