More On Mike Shanahan Drafts, Via Scorecasting

[wilsowilso]

Anyone know who Kiper has us drafting in his new mock 3.0 released today?

I just know the top four picks so far as Newton jumps to #4 and the Bengals. Anyone know the top ten?

Much appreciated.

Recap of Mel Kiper's phone conference in regards to the Redskins and the draft.

Mel tells - Redskins Rule Blog post - Ultimate Fan Community

If none of the top two QBs are at #10, it seems that the Redskins will need to decide on either a NT or a QB in the 2nd round.

Since the draft is deep in d-lineman, I'd trade down, pick up the best NT in the bottom of the first round, and hopefully have either have an additional 2nd rounder or a 3rd rounder from the trade down to pick up a QB/RB/or interior lineman.

I think Mike Shanahan will finished what he started last draft and tidy up the OL-RT. They could even drop down in the draft, picking up a pick or two, and still get a very good rookie RT.

Wait..........is that what you're currently hearing ??.............I'm kinda hoping for that. Alot of people on here are ruined by the DT and MK draft picks that they want nothing to do with a WR with our first pick. I say do it . JJ will be a beast

Sundberg was horrible, so here's the successor to Albright's throne:



Heck, maybe he can replace Rabach too.

Thanks much!

I'm not sure if I would be upset with a beast WR.

But with our track record of drafting receivers in the first two rounds I know I would be nervous.

I would NEVER spend the 10th pick on a WR. If Jones is the best player available at 10 then they need to get out of that pick. Personally I would be doing whatever is necessary to get in position to get the #1 QB on the skins draft board...like they should have done last year. If it's Locker then pick him at 10...if it's Gabbert then trade up. They have to get their guy and they can't wait and hope it falls to them...because with the redskins that never seems to happen.

[MTK]

I wouldn't trade up for any of these QBs. And if one of the top WRs is there at #10 and is our top rated player, so be it. It's not like WR isn't a need.

[celts32]

They don't sound worth it to me either but if Shanny loved one of them I would do it. They can't wait around. If theres a guy in there they think is the franchise then they need to make it happen. Coming out of this draft with a potential franchise QB is the #1 priority.

[MTK]

I guess you're in favor of reaching for one, with this relatively weak QB class I think that would be a big mistake.

Amen brother.

[celts32]

Not necessarily...I am in favor of getting the guy they want by whatever means necessary. If Shanny & Allen think that it's a weak class then obviously I don't want them to use a high pick on one. It's literally been almost 30 years since the Redskins have had what most would consider a franchise QB and in this league more then ever you need one to win. So I am not that concerned if we come out of this draft with a WR or a LB because the best WR or LB in the league is not going to make the Redskins a Super bowl contender until they find a QB.

Also...I heard Kiper today call this QB class a strong one not a relatively weak one.
