Munching the Mocks: Andre Smith now leads for Redskins

Don't mix the ice cream with the poison pill...

The problem is that these teams are in the market for a franchise tackle:

1. Detroit
2. St. Louis
4. Seattle
6. Cincinnati
7. Oakland
8. Jacksonville
9. Green Bay

And with only four of them to go around, it's unlikely that any get past GB, or even Jacksonville for that matter.

Which means GB might go with Orakpo instead. And then Buffalo and Denver need linebackers...you get my drift.

Oakland might take Crabtree, Jags like Harvin a lot, and Green Bay loves Jenkins

Have guys thought about what happens if we actually draft a RB... bye bye Rock right? No way we'll carry 4 RBs on the roster through the season. Brings up the issue of KR. For my money, and I expect i'm alone on this one, Thomas should be our KR. This guy just has amazing athleticism and until he proves he can be a real threat at WR we should get our money out of him elsewhere.

We carried 4 RBs most of last year, if you can call Shaun Alexander that.

I wouldn't call it that but you're still right.

Well, they still counted him towards the 11 people we were allowed on the field at once, but Zorn should have appealed that ruling.

When we played on the road, the playing surface was as much a factor as he was.

no way in heck are we trading betts, they like him a lot...for some unforeseeable reason to me.

lol... thanks for the update. I kinds liked Betts too but the knee injury last year, when we wasn't getting many carries in the first place, has me wondering. I tend to think we take a RB in the 5th or 6th round this year.

Agreed, and the other pick will be a DE of some sort.

tootergray34 · 03-04-2009, 12:52 AM

no way on gods green earth will orakpo slip too 13, I think he will go in the top 8. we are going oher smith or maluaga at 13.

As much as we need OL this guy is a trap. He fought with Alabama Coach Nick Saban over doing work to prepare for the draft in the spring or playing in the Sugar Bowl vs. Utah. Ultimately, he was benched for this behavior. Then, this past month at the combine, he just left without telling anyone where he was. This guy has serious character issues. I would go for a guy like Michael Oher everyday over Andre Smith

Nflnick11 · 03-04-2009, 04:38 PM

can we restructure jansen then so that we don't take a hit when we cut him??

And for all you TSuggs fans, if you really want a player like him we should get Larry English from Northern Illinois, he looks exactly like suggs

No. The release fee is $ 2.775M this year. After the season we can release him with a cap savings of $ 2.288M. The last thing we want to do is restructure Jansen.

Now why would he do that?
