To tell you the truth, and in my mind, this scenario is VERY possible, if the Front office is serious about getting better and wiping the slate clean, here is what I think we should do, as of now. Now everything in CFB changes day to day and week to week considering injuries, but barring injuries and complete meltdowns, I say these moves would instantly make us a MUCH better squad, especially with our defense and a dedicated new Head Coach.

Ok, we need to trade away ARE, Campbell, Portis and Betts. Somewhere in there, lets get another 2nd round pick, maybe 2 if we are lucky.

1st round - Get THE BEST offensive lineman available. It definitely looks like we are in the market for a top 8 pick, so I would go with 1 of 2 guys that look absolutely incredible and could contribute in a big way from day 1. Okung from Ok. State, or Brown out of USC. Both are great OL and both can play multiple positions, which I think will be big with our line for a year or two to come. Remember, these selections are with the assumption we have 2 2nd round picks.

first 2nd round pick - Tony Pike QB, Cincy If we can pack about 15 - 20 lbs onto his 6'5'' frame, with his vision and arm, aaron rodgers anyone?? HUGE UPGRADE WITH PRO BOWLER POTENTIAL.

2nd 2nd rounder - Best Offensive lineman available. If Chris Samuels comes back, I say go with a good talent at guard like Asamoah or Capers.

Keep our current Center, Levi Jones, and Dockery. Sign the VERY best tackle you can in the offseason (easy, especially if its uncapped and we got our ATM at the helm) and cut all of the others, or trade em and pick up some later round picks this year or next. The team needs youth in a big way.

Next step - Let Joe Bugel go. Let him resign with class, but we need a new guy to come and fill in that role. Preferably an ex redskin that can instill some pride along our once PROUD OLine. Let them all compete for starting roles, and then BAMM, set your roster before the last 2 preseason games. give em three weeks to know whos gonna be at their 9 and 3 oclocks, and hope for them to come together as a unit quick. Thats asking for alot, but doable, and almost anything we do will be better than this years sad sad mess, plus we'll have youth to build upon and a very promising franchise QB in Pike.


Also, with our 4th or 5th rounder, I bet we could steal someone that I really like thats been flying under the radar this season that is a BEAST and could kick some major ass in the NFL. And that guy is Chris Scott out of Tennesee. Remember that name. We could easily get him in the 4th round, no problem. Guy is very quick on his feet, and already has incredible strength. (348 lbs last week).
