Can We Draft as High as 3rd Overall?

[SmootSmack]

I think that even if Okung were available we're not taking him. I think we'll go OL in the 2nd round and probably 4th (3rd if we can trade back into there). But my gut feeling tells me we're not taking Okung in the first round.

So a QB in the first?

You better get on the Bradford band wagon, that way you won't be disappointed on draft day.

I think so, unless they think Spiller is worth taking at #4 which I don't think they do. If they don't take a QB in the first round then I wouldn't rule out Jevan Snead if he declares. He could be there in the 4th and he has a lot of the qualities Shanahan likes.

A real sleeper could be Rolando McClain

But I haven't really heard any names being mentioned yet. Last year at this time I heard a lot of Brian Cushing...who, of course, wasn't the pick

As much as i like McClain i can't see us taking defense with the first pick again this year.

I would love to get McClain or Brandon Spikes. I think 4th overall is way to high for either of them.

We know Detroit and Tampa aren't going QB with #2 or #3. I'm not sure if there's a QB worth #1, and with Spags running the show, I could see him taking either Berry or Suh. If it plays out like that, we'd have our choice of any QB.

I'd still rather move out of the 4th pick if possible and land a QB in the 2nd all the while adding picks. If we're 4th and Okung is there, gotta take him.

The Senior Bowl is right around the corner. Guys are gonna drop and rise. It's gonna be a wild offseason for Redskins fans.

SS, what three players make your gut tingle then? Personally, as much as we need OL help -- I dont know if Okung is a long term LT in this league. Maybe Im wrong, you'd know far more about that than I would. I actually love Suh (he'll be gone) and Berry with the pick. Not sure if either will be available. Then I like Pike in the 2nd, but would be thrilled if we get the top G or good T in the 2nd.

If we don't draft Okung with the #4, then I would want the team to trade down. Now that Allen is in charge, I would hope to have a more savvy front office that would get a good price (multiple picks) for that #4.
