Hey Rey, I'm curious to hear about your visit to Redskins park last week and how that went. As both a USC fan and a 'Skins fan, I'd be pumped to get you at #13.

Rey Maualuga, LB, USC
Hey Andy. I had the opportunity to meet the coaches and everbody at the Senior Bowl and at the combine, and then a couple of days before the USC Pro Day again we went to dinner. Then when I went out to visit, I saw them again. The visit went great. I hung out wiht the LB coach, he's a great guy, and it was a very comfortable place. I went well. I left a lot of smiling faces.

If they chose me at No. 13, I would feel blessed and they'd get a great player. I'd be happy.

I'm not sure that I understand the point of this. He said what every potential draftee says. It's all draftee puppet talk. Did I miss something?

Wouldn't be hilarious if one of them said, 'Well the GM seems like a dope and the coach is a tool but the cheerleaders are hot so if they drafted me it wouldn't completely suck.'

To answer the topic question though, it's Maualuga for me. He's got bad-ass written all over him and the thought of him and Landry cracking skulls on the defense for the next 8 years makes me very happy.

Can you imagine a player visiting a team like Minny or Buffalo and saying..."man it's f'ing cold here, I would hate it if I had to live here!". LOL.

I would laugh my a** off! Remembering how much fear ST put into players, the thought of Landry and Maualuga collecting heads would be something I would look forward to every game. Maualuga has the "nasty-mean" attitude I like in a LB. He could put our defense on another level.

Yeah, Rey would help to create a defense to be feared, which is the best kind of defense!

Wow it's almost like anyone but Sanchez is a god-send for me at this point. But yes my perfect draft is Rey for our 1st pick and then some clever trading that yields a high 2nd rd pick for the very best OL available...preferably Mack. Rey and Mack would put me on cloud nine.

...I don't understand the conventional wisdom that says DE is a critical need. I don't see it even close to OL and LB. A Daniels/Wynn rotation = serious runstopping w/ the occasional sack. Swinging big Al out to LDE (since we've got 3 remaining very capable DTs to rotate inside, w/ the probable emergence of a dominant Monty) adds another sweet scenario. And now Lorenzo, who coaches have been very high on, will get a shot at LDE. He always seemed like the quickest of our DTs so personally i'm excited to see what he can do there.

Anyway, i'm not holding my breath for either Rey or Mack cuz our FO feels FUBAR right now...i just hope this isn't one of the drafts that will live in infamy.

Me too. And a lot of opponents on their ass!
