I agree, because there is no way Thomas drops to 6.

I agree, because the Skins have not been sniffing around Joe Thomas.

In my opinion, Joe Thomas is the most talented player in this draft, and our offensive line situation (the most important unit on the offense) is not strong enough to dictate passing on Thomas.

Still our defensive line situation is most important and Branch should be the pick.

Really? While our o-line was pretty inconsistent in 2004, it was pretty darn good in 2005 and 2006. The past two seasons the O-line has paved the way for a top-notch running attack and protected the QB better than the vast majority of teams.

And you don't think the addition of Joe Thomas would make it significnatly better?

That is not even going to matter if our defense can't stop anybody.

Very true. I don't think one guy would fix all the D line problems anyway.

Let the record show that I still think Branch should be the pick. Just not if Thomas is available (he won't be).

I say jusy go after Smoot when he gets cut and hold on to all the picks we've got. If Matt Millen than comes back and makes a desperation move than talk but let teams come to us instead of throwing arounfd draft picks we don't have.

I've gone back and forth on dealing for Dre Bly, Matt Millen isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer and if we had a GM at all then we could probably have Bly for a 3rd round pick, which of course we don't have. We're too top-heavy, so we have no depth and thus no tradeable assets. I like Bly, but only because he's proven to be able to catch a ball thrown directly at him, unlike Carlos Rogers whom I love and think will prove his mettle this year. Trading for him, hmm dicey. But we love to roll the dice, (and in this corner, Adam Archuleta!)

Smoot I like, if he gets cut. Clements or Fletcher-Baker will be a Redskin, probably whichever one shows up at the airport at 12:01am sober and ready to board Redskins One. Or rather more sober than the other guy. I'd rather go with Clements. He's good in coverage and great in run support and familiar with GW's system. MLB, I say we move Khary Campbell into that spot. He's proven to be a ballhawk on special teams and played pretty well in Marshall's absence last year. Sounds suspicioulsy like Pierce's pedigree to me.
