Mark Sanchez at 13th?

[53Fan]

I agree but honestly I doubt one of the top OT's will be available at 13. It's possible, but a potentially elite OT is valuable and hard to find. I think teams are more likely to gamble on an OT than some of the other positions. I don't think the FO would draft Mack at 13 though personally I would, so a tradedown is probably our only chance to get him. I need to get over it but I can't help thinking about how much we could use that second round pick we gave up for JT. Maybe someone will trade up with us for Sanchez or someone else and we pick up another draft choice and find the best OT's were gone before the 13th pick anyway. Then we pick up Mack later in the first, Matthews, Maualuga, or one of the other good LB's falls and we pick him up with the other pick we got in the trade. And maybe I'll wake up in the morning and find Jessica Alba standing at the foot of my bed holding the 60 million dollar lottery check I won while I was sleeping. Man I can't wait until the draft gets here. I think we'll do something to help our team. I just don't know if we'll do the best thing to help our team. By the way GridIron26, just like you, I would love to see what Campbell could do without having to run for his life.

What a coincidence, she visited me early morning last week...didn't stay long though.

I have the same suspicion about our choice @ OT being limited. Sounds like the FO doesn't view Oher as a value @ 13 (I think he'll be there but we pass on him). I don't know, guess i just have to go w/ their scouting on this one. Britton and the other guys are probably a reach @ 13...so yeah defense may be the 1st pick. DE? LB? Hard to say. Rey would surprise me now quite a bit.

...altogether I think the FO has been real smart to keep the chips off the table since our early flurry (apart from the friggin Cutler debacle). I mean there should be some nice talent come available in FA after the draft, value opportunities for sure at OL i'm thinking.

I certainly hope that is not the case; although Oher may be slow learner or whatever that is holding him back, it is perfect reason for us to draft him.. We already have solidified LT in Samuels for two years or so, it would be perfect timing for Oher to jump into LT after he spends a year or so in our O system and is ready to play.. Some scouts spoke Oher in same breath with Odgen and Pace.. How can you pass an opportunity like that?

Granted, there are chances of Oher not blossoming into Pace-alike but at least we would not have to worry about our O-line for a while (unless we continue to do nothing at C)

Hey fellow Redskins fans, I'm new to the Warpath as far as replying to posts. Why do some Redskins fans or the the front office think that we need to change our starting QB again. Here are a few QB's that use to play for the Redskins ( Gus F. Trent Green, Brad Johnson, Pat Ramsey, Rich Gannon, Jeff George etc...) I think couple of these QB went to the Super Bowl and even had nice careers. Did the Ravens have a franchise QB in Dilfer and T. Banks ( Ex Redskin) when they won the Super Bowl? Did the Bears have a Franchise QB ( Grossman) when they lost to the Colts in the Super Bowl? Lets build our defense and O-line through the draft. Our Defense played great but they don't make enough game changing plays any more due to a lack of impact players such as Sean Taylor and Lavar Arrington. Lets stop trying to fined a so called Franchise QB and lets improve our defense to be Nasty like B-more and the Steelers. I live 45min. away from Los Angeles and I see USC games all season, I like Sanchez but not for our team cause we have QB that we have invested in so lets not give up on him so soon like the other former Redskin QB's we had. Lets Draft the best OL or Defensive Impact player.

Does anyone remember when Giant fans were down on Eli Manning his 1st few years until they won the Super Bowl? The G-Men draft OL and DL and helped Eli. When your defense can make plays your offense doesn't have to press the whole game. Did anyone see the 49ers game? JC drove us down the field throwing and with his legs moving the chains. He got us in the end zone but our defense could not get stop which led to a game winning fg for 49ers. What about the Rams game, when our defense needed to make a stop but allowed a long pass to a rams rookie wr which lead to the gm winning fg. Folks our defense is good but not great. I would not be mad if we took USC LB Malauaga , DT Raji. The DE in this draft are weak or 3-4 type hybrids. The only DE I would take in the 1st round is Orakpo. Michael Johnson of Georgia Tech has all the tools but does he have the motor and heart?

non-reactionary logic, I kinda like it

Yes. The comparisons made in posts above about Tom Brady getting it done with mediocre wide receivers obscure one fact: the Pats are very good at keeping Brady upright. This gives middling receivers a chance to break open. JC has not enjoyed this luxury. Let's see JC get some real pass protection. Then, if he doesn't get it done, at that point he can be unfavorably compared to Brady.

Despite Mel Kiper's brilliance (sarcasm), Nancy Reagan says, "Just say no to Mark Sanchez." Feed the front please, Vinny.

There is absolutely no reason to draft Mack at 13 if you can trade down and snag him later.

And if you can't trade down and don't take him at 13, you don't get him at all. It all depends on how much you value a high quality center who has the potential to be a pro bowl player for years. I would prefer to trade down and take him, but if I could'nt, then I would take him at 13.
