Banner Crop for QBs? Then why would we use the 4th pick on one when stud tackles are available and LT is absolutely our biggest need.

Be..cause.. we can pick up Pashos in FA to fill the LT spot and maybe pick up a FA RT or look to pick up a RT in the draft say the 2nd round after we pick up Bradford.

Yeah, FA and RT spells FART, and that's what we'll get if we patch the line with old farts.

I do believe Skins fans are jumping on the Bradford wagon w/o much reason. He's probably going in the top 3 and we're not trading up. He doesn't fit the mold of a Shanny QB...lightning quick release and monster arm. Bradford has a decent release time and a relatively weak arm. I just don't see any reason to believe Shanny has fallen in love w/ the kid the way others have.

The guy is good, but he came from a team with a stacked deck and faced inferior competition most weekends. The guys that make it in the NFL in recent years are the guys that have the tools, but came from second tier football powers that faced decent competition just about every Saturday.

Your a good speller. I don't think Pashos is an old fart and I too am glad we are getting rid of dead wood. Bring Pashos on as LT and pick up a QB in the 1st round. Hopefully we get another 1st round pick to get an OL or just take them in the second round.

We need to get younger at the line. We can't depend on JUST old guys like Pashos. See people like you piss me off who think we can easily just patch the line and not use our draft resources on offensive lineman.

You guys piss me off with the "we have to solve the whole offensive OL problems in this years draft or were screwed" mentality. News flash.... it won't be solved in one years draft.

and...with some fans ideas of getting rid of JC, whome do you expect to be throwing the ball? Colt? Please don't say Pennington. You want to talk about getting rid of old guys and your wanting to bring in old Chad.

I'll give you this Pashos is listed as a Guard on NFL.com but for some reason I thought he was a LT with San Fran. Either way your still wrong about his age... he's only played 5 yrs in the league so obviously we can't go out and pick up Peppers, Rolle, or Dansby since their old also.

Weeelllllll I bet if we drafted Okung and then the best RT available in the 2nd round we could be quite close to completely turning around the oline. It only leaves RG up in the air and we've got a couple guys who will compete for it and a few more FAs to look at.

We need at least one young talented lineman, and we could pick up the best tackle in the draft with that #4 or we could pick up a pretty talented lineman with the 2nd rounder. Our line was HORRIBLE last season, it sucked ass, it was old, it was injured.

Even if you bring Bradford, you can't throw him to the fire right away, so what do you do? You need another QB period. And if that's going to happen, I'd rather start rebuilding the line with the draft. And no, Okung won't fix the line, but it's a damn good way to start building it up.

How did Renaldo Wynn escape the ax? Maybe he'll be cut later?

Okung won't make Rabach or Heyer above average players, but he'll solidify the biggest weakness, which would considerably improve the line.

Bruce Allen was asked if the o-line could be fixed in one year. His answer....yes.

I remember that also. A nice mix of drafting and FA acquisitions can do the trick in a cap free year. I liked his answer for the sole reason in that it seems like the guy has a clear cut plan on turning this thing around.
