We don't exactly have a player on the line who is a drain on the team, but we lack depth and top end talent, so using a pick there is absolutely critical. We need the help at DT just as bad as we need it at DE, but if we can get help at one place, we can address the other position in the future.

Should have used a pick there this past year, but the events of this season have pretty much justified the Landry pick. Now we just have to make up for lost time.

Gtripp - this is exactly what the Skins need and I am hoping that Calais Campbell of Miami falls to us in the first round. Campbell is 6'7" and 280 lbs and runs a 4.8 40. His stats are amazing for the 3 years he has been at the U of Miami and like I said before this guy reminds a lot of pro scouts of the next Ed "Too Tall" Jones. Plus I am sure he would fit right in with other fellow Miami alums on the team.

I think everyone is tending to forget that Philip Daniels is 34 years old which for a DE is not good. Daniels was descent against the run but as far as qb pressure goes he is not good. I can't remember how many times I would count how much time opposing qb's got due to a lack of pressure from Daniels.
