Redskins Notes (3/31): K Wright, Evans etc

since we got thoses 2 OL backups LB has been favored (a #3CB is MUCH cheaper and easier to find than a starter LB in free agency). I'd still like to go OG in the draft cause i'm not sold on the OL fodder they signed (both to one year deals, meaning they're not highly thought of).

This is where it hurts that we traded our 3. Normally, that's a great round to go get an offensive lineman. I think the value will be other places in round 2, and that if we do go offensive line, it should be an offensive tackle.

the good tackles are gone by then. you can get the #1 or #2 OG in the draft, or you can get the #6 OT. Our weakest link is dockery, and he only has a 1 year deal. jansen and samuels are locked up long term, as are thomas and rabach.

Jansen was a second rounder, though admittedly he was selected much higher than the spot we have this year.

Unless there's clearly a better tackle available, I agree we should go for a guard. But I wouldn't pass up a tackle knowing that you could always plug him in at the guard position for additional experience.

Outside of Molinaro, we have absolutely no depth at tackle. I'm hoping we do address that, maybe through FA.

T walters is a T, some of the other backups have played tackle as well... but anyone is going to be a drop off from chris and jon unless they make 5$mill a year

some of the guards can play tackle, some can't, but in the 2nd round you're generally getting complete guards that can play vs semi-project tackles (like guys that moved from TE etc). It just seems like people stretch for OTs and QBs and draft them above their talent levels too often :/ I'm all for best available OL though... but gibbs did say he was only looking for G/C backup guys, as if he was comfortable with the backup tackles we have.

Maybe they aren't Tackles, but hey, Buges has been known to move parts of the puzzle around to re-insert as needed.
