10 (R1) Jake Locker - QB - Washington - I believe the Redskins O-Line will be significantly improved this year so long as they're able to resign Brown and get Davin Joesph as a Free Agent. That would give Locker something he never had in 4 years at Washington, a solid Offensive Line that can give him time in the pocket. With his physical skillset, work ethic, and tutelage under Shanahan the skies the limit. His ability to throw outside the pocket may be second to none (70% passer outside the tackles).

41 (R2) Jurrell Casey - NT - USC - Short squaty nose tackle that may be under weight on draft day for a Nose Tackle (currently 300 pounds). Still plays the run very well, plays hard, and is a solid character guy. Also capable of getting a little bit of a push on the pass rush.

144 (R5) Mark Herzlich - LB - Boston College - Hard worker. Cancer survivor. Can possibly play ILB or OLB in 3-4. Works hard on 3rd down when rushing the passer. Not sure if he'll be available at this point in the draft but apparently there are concerns about his durability beyond his cancer scare.

155 (R5) Stefen Wisniewski - C - Penn State - Hard working technician that can hopefully entice the team to replace Rabach.

177 (R6) Evan Royster - RB - Penn State - Tough back with good to great vision (reports vary). Has a good reputation as a pass blocker. Rushed for a 1,000 yards each of the last 3 years.

224 (R7) Ryan Whalen - WR - Stanford - Good size and former walk on that went on to be one of the teams better receivers. Does a good job of fighting for jump balls. Not a deep threat. Likes to run block.

253 (R7) Damien Berry - RB - Miami - Hard worker capable of playing special teams. Don't know to much about him as a runner, but I do know the skins have met with him in some capacity so maybe they see something.

Don't forget Ryan Harris

Wisneiwski in the 5th would be great

What about the other two 7th rounders

I'd take Locker too.

Ryan Harris is probably the perfect contingency play for Brown. I think talent wise Brown is the better pick but Harris has an advantage when it comes to age. Both now know the system.

In my defense though I only missed one 7th round (213) pick unless ESPN.com is wrong.

I'll edit the post in a moment. Probably will have to abandon one of my objectives of adding a LB.

No wait, you're right it's just 3 in the 7th

I fixed it. Decided to hedge my bets on adding a decent sized receiver to, unlike a certain EVPOFO though I didn't do it at the top of the draft. Still was able to find a decent linebacker/Special team prospect. All players in my mock have a reputation as hard working/high motor players. Also hopefully avoided selecting a player 2 or 3 rounds after they're projected to be selected (*cough* Casey Matthews 5th Round *cough*).

Just out of curiosity, is Denver still moving towards a power running system with Elway in the front office, because I can imagine that Elway would certainly be interested in keeping the system around that got him his two Super Bowl rings.
