According to JLC the team has not shown an interest in Hill.

Redskins Insider - Skins Not Expressing Interest in Leroy Hill

Any word on Levi Jones from Cincy?

I think Thomas said the other day, the weakside is where he feels most comfortable and where he wants to play.

One rumor that is driving me crazu is the Orakpo might line up at linebacker. Redskins Insider - Skins Not Expressing Interest in Leroy Hill

This tends to ruin DE, i forget his name, but the Texans drafted a DE and tried to move him to OLB, and it failed miserably. Leave him at his natural position, let him develop at DE.

In the post-draft presser yesterday Zorn said Orakpo would be pretty much a hand-on-the-ground defensive end.

I feel the same way!!! Get Hill and leave our 1st round DE at DE!

I would be really smart to lock Hill up now long term IMO...really smart. But Blache also does a good job getting solid play from somewhat undertalented guys in our system...so maybe Hill isn't a huge priority. I just worry what happens after London retires...can Blades be that QB of the d and then who's gonna be the other OLB we need? Hill would allay some worries long term.

LB is a position we should've looked at more seriously through the draft.

They had 6 picks and took two LBs and there is talk that Orakpo is going to try LB out. Should they have taken more?

I think Orakpo is going to have his hands full just playing DE and learning to stop the run against the NFC east RB's! Maybe down the road LB but that asking a little to much from a first year player to cover RB's and TE's in the NFL right out of the gate!

Swinging Rak to LB would just increase his bust risk IMHO...it's not smart to throw a ton at a rookie. Keep his hand in the dirt all year...like GT said probably at RDE but if Rak can bulk up a bit and become for stout against the run I want to see him at LDE.

Two? I know we got the one in the 6th round... who was the other one?

mrreddman · 04-27-2009, 09:52 PM

Hill would complete the defense. Appears that we have enough cap room too.
Defense would be SICK!
