Database Update: Consensus Projections, DE, OT, and LB ranking links

[SmootSmack]

Jason Smith and Michael Oher seem to be moving up (especially Smith), which is knocking Andre Smith down. There are some "concerns" that Andre Smith is better suited for guard (maybe RT) and I guess he has some consistency/focus issues as well. But who knows, it could all just be posturing right now.

I know Orakpo is getting a lot of mention but my gut tells me that if VC has his way we go OL in the first round and then LB (maybe Marcus Freeman) in the 3rd. I think he feels there's a deeper LB pool than at OL. And if he really gets his way we add a 2nd and/or 4th rounder via trade.

But remember he's not going to take an OL just to take one. If let's say the best OL at 13 is Eben Britton, I seriously doubt the Redskins will take him there (as much as I like him) and if they can't trade out then they'll go with another position.

Perhaps Peria Jerry?

I'd really love to trade down and grab a few extra picks. Guys like Larry English, Ziggy Hood, Darry Beckwith, Michael Johnson, Connor Barwin and Fili Moala on defense and Eben Britton, AQ Shipley, Eric Wood, and William Beatty will all likely be available outside of the 1st round (save for maybe Britton).

This year would be a great year to have 3 second round picks, especially for a team that needs to build on the lines...

I agree COMPLETELY. If we can land any 2 of your list, our draft is good IMO and if we can get backups with our remaining picks, super.
