Well considering the flavor the week is Offensive Line the guys the team would be looking at is Chris Williams (T/G Vanderbilt) who Joe Bugel is really high on, and Branden Albert (thats right SkinsFanSince91, jk but that is who they'd probably target at the 12th spot should they move up).

The price is probably a 1st and a 2nd, but with that said it would be harder to fill other needs down the line. Personally I would really prefer a trade down, but at the same time I wouldn't complain if we got a versitle OL prospect that could really prevent a drop in LT play should Samuals ever go down (knock on wood to ward off evil spirits) while at the same time provide a viable starting option at LG or RG.

Jeff Otah (T Pitt) is also a possiblity, as he seems to have the size to play Guard but I haven't heard anything about his potential to move inside.

Also Malcolm Kelly's stock just dropped BIGGGGGG TIME today. It's possible that he could be available when we pick in the 2nd round. I'd label the odds at 45% for now.

Oklahoma (April 9)

Twenty-five NFL teams sent representatives to Norman, Okla., to see four key players in a follow-up to last month's school pro day. Prospects worked out indoors on Field Turf. And as an added quirk to the event, the person throwing passes in the position drills was a former quarterback from arch-rival Nebraska -- Heisman Trophy winner Eric Crouch. Bengals WR coach Mike Sheppard ran the receiving drills and Bengals assistant DB coach Louis Cioffi ran the DB drills for Smith and Walker......

» TE Joe Jon Finley (6-6 3/8, 252: Ran the 40 in 4.85 and 4.86, had a 31 ½-inch vertical jump, 9-foot, 9-inch long jump, 4.16 short shuttle, 7.11 cone drill, ran position drills and kept everything else from the combine.

» WR Malcolm Kelly (6-3 7/8, 227): Ran the 40 in 4.75 and 4.68, had a 32-inch vertical jump, 9-foot, 9-inch long jump, 4.24 short shuttle, 7.00 cone drill, and ran position drills. Kelly looked very good.

» DB Reggie Smith (6-0 1/8, 192): Ran the 40 in 4.65 and 4.61, had a 39 ½-inch vertical jump, 10-foot, 9-inch long jump, 4.03 short shuttle, 6.70 cone drill, ran position drills.

» CB Marcus Walker (5-10 3/8, 194): Ran the 40 in 4.65 and 4.62, had a 37-inch vertical jump, 10-foot, 1-inch long jump, 4.10 short shuttle, 6.90 cone drill, ran position drills.

with people running 4.3's jumping 40 inches, long jumping 11 feet+ and hitting 4.0 shuttle and 6.6 in 3cone, that's an absolutely terrible pro day right there. that REALLY would change his place on my draft board, and it wouldn't be for "looking good".

1-21 - Trade with Falcons for 2-6 and 3-3 to prevent Dolphins from grabing the top QB prospect at top of the 2nd round. Most likely Chad Henne or Brian Brohm. This could just as easily be a trade with the other Indian team in Kansas City. Ironically that would lead us with an earlier 2nd pick but a slightly later 3rd. Basically whoever loses out on Ryan will possibly try to move up into the 1st round to make sure the Dolphins or the Packers don't select the QB they want. The Ravens are also a possiblity at this point.

2-6 - Malcolm Kelly - WR - Oklahoma - The team covets Kelly, and due to his drop in stock they have a hard time passing a guy like Kelly falling this far in the draft

2-20 - Dre Moore - DT - Maryland - Blache gets his DT complete with his ability to collapse the pocket and get into the backfield

3-3 - Duane Brown - T/G - Virginia Tech - Per NFL.com "The only thing that worries scouts about Brown is his learning ability, which could be an issue at the pro level. A coach that will both light his fire but bring him along slowly while revamping his technique might find gold with Brown." If that doesn't say Joe Bugel I don't know what does. This pick could also be a corner like Charles Godfrey out of Iowa if Brown is gone

3-21 - Owen Schmitt - FB/RB - West Virginia - The best player available and if the team ends up trading Betts then this would be an excellent pick.

3-33 - Zach Bowman - CB - Nebraska - The front office gets a potential first round talent that might be able to hold down the fort until either he develops or the Redskins can find a better prospect next year. They could also take a chance with a less known guy like Dwight Lowery.

5-21 - Wallace Gilbert - DE - Alabama - Team finds a potentail replacement for Phillip Daniels at LDE

Thats all for today
