The Case For...

[DirtyLandry]

Albert Haynesworth.

A dominant DT like this dramatically improves your entire defense. Dont think so? See Ngata in Baltimore, Williams(s) in Minn, Jenkins in NY, Stroud in Buffalo, Wilfork in New England...the list goes on.

A massive two gap tackle can free up your ends to rush the passer or push the pocket himself. This is less time your corners have to cover and also subjects the secondary to more plays on rushed, errant throws. In the run game he can play 2 gap and allow your linebackers to make more plays.

Wow, only one? This isn't going to be easy. I think that Alex Mack is the most realistic and best choice.

Upside

One: He's the best center available.

Two: We can trade down to get him and get other picks.

Three: He can play other positions.

Four: We will not wonder who's going to be our Center for the next few years.

Five: When was the last time we drafted a Center?

Six: If we pick him up later in the draft we'll not have to pay him as much as a 13th pick.

Seven: If he does become a solid center other teams will want to trade picks for him not vice versa.

Downside

One: He might be a washout. I don't think so, but maybe.

Two: It might take him a year or two to get some playing time.
