Would it be practical to just (mostly) draft o-line this upcoming year

With Fat Al getting the bench for the last 4 games are the Skins planning on just cutting him or still trying to salvage a trade in the off season? I can't imagine anyone would give anything for him. Anyone hear anything about it?

If we were going to cut him, we would have done it already. I'm sure someone will give up at least 6th for him. He is too talented for nobody to take a chance on him. Plus, they wouldn't have to pay him any guaranteed money.

Actually, nobody will probably trade for him because they know we are going to cut him. There's no chance Haynesworth is on the roster next season. Why would you give up a draft pick for somebody who you know will be a free agent? That's why we will probably see Haynesworth cut.

And I wouldn't be too suprised if the Redskins upgraded their line through the 2nd round of the draft/free agency, and spent our first rounder on our qb of the future. This draft is going to have plenty of good quarterbacks available in it and I wouldn't be suprised to see the Redskins nab one if he's available.

People will trade for him because they want to obtain his rights. In FA he gets to go wherever he wants. When we own his rights and two teams want him, one will be willing to give out a late round pick to make sure they get his rights.
Also we can hold onto him for as long as we want. He wont show up to the team facilities. If a team wants him for training camp, they will trade for him.

This year's free agent class isn't all that deep when it comes to the OL, but remember the name I brought up the other day. Davin Joseph

I like Joseph from what Ive read, some sites have him as one of the best guards available in the offseason. I think it would be a good move...I guess but getting another guy with injury issues (Brown) on the oline makes me hesitant. I guess a broken foot is better than a knee injury or hip injury in Brown case.

SmootSmack, 2 questions for you....Have you heard anything about Brown being here next year and being Right Tackle of the future? And have you heard anything about upgrading the Center position?

Sometimes I'll mention names just based on pure speculation or based on what I'd like to see. Other times it's because I've heard rumors floated about...Davin Joseph is one of the latter times. Not to say he's coming here, but it looks like a very strong possibility

We are working on a long term deal with Brown

Haven't heard about Center

Cool thanks...yeah I seen you mention him a couple times, figured it was that latter, which is cool he seems like a solid player and its nice to see the FO get a plan together for the Oline. Hopefully center can be changed as well. I dont see Rabauch as a Shanny type, and overall he played poor again this year. I thought maybe scheme change could improve his play, havent seen it.

Thanks. Yes, a FA + an early draft pick would do alot for the oline.

I like the idea of drafting Lineman, but I am kinda liking the blend we have right now. I know they'eve given up alot of pressure and sacks the past few games, but alot of it I think has to do with Rabach, and the way he gives up so much pressure up the middle.

I would really like to see us Build the defense in the draft. Get a MONSTER at NT, and another ILB/OLB... Even a FS.

I think the defense has ALOT more holes then the offense at the moment. If we are going to a 3/4 then we really need to focus on the defense first. You can't win close games without a good defense. Redskins play alot of close games.

Hasn't Brown been hurt most of the year, rather than simply a disappointment? For that matter, hasn't that been the case with McNabb too?

Fair or not hurt and disappointing kinda go hand in hand.

I have been surprised at how much DM has struggled in picking up things. He's looked better in recent weeks but still, I didn't expect him to struggle this much.

Doubt Rabach will be back. With the way they structured his deal it's obvious they weren't committing to him beyond this year. Just a band-aid move to get us to 2011.

I hope so...anyone know of any good centers gonna be available as FO or in the draft?

Top rated olineman, didn't see a center in there.

NFL.com news: Costanzo leads crop of athletic O-linemen entering 2011 draft

3. Stefan Wisniewski, G

College: Penn State
Height/Weight: 6-3, 295

Wisniewski was the first true freshman to start at right guard since 1999 for the Nittany Lions. He started 12 games at guard in 2008 and played center in 2009, earning first team all Big-Ten honors. Wisniewski comes from a long line of professionall football players. His father, Leo, was a second-round draft choice of the Baltimore Colts and his uncle, Steve, was drafted by the Cowboys and traded to the Raiders, where he played for 13 years. Wisniewski's strength and quickness should help him to play well for many years in the NFL.

Strength/quickness? Sounds like a MS type of guy.
