Well at this point I'm convinced, weather I like it or not, the 21st pick will probably be Devin Thomas. The pick has Synder written all over it and with the FA WR market drying up at the current rate we'll probably end up coming out of Free Agency without signing a guy that will make Cerrato say "Ok we're set."

As far as Rachel not being there. Well I'm convinced that with the way the draft unfolds year after year, someone is going to fall. Maybe it'll be Shcueling, Chilo, Eric Young, Carl Nicks. One or two of those guys will be available in the second round when we pick. I mean last year I could have never predicted that one of the ten best players, in my opinion, Ryan Kalil, would fall to the bottom of the second round.

However right now while looking at a few profiles I think that the Redskins could be targeting Mike McGlynn in the 3rd round. Guy is solid at G and has experience playing every position on the line.

Laws looks good, but I would like to risk him falling to the third round before taking him. Of course at this rate he's looking like a mid 2nd round pick.

Right now I see the Redskins draft going as follows. This is more what I think the Redskins will do as opposed to what I want, however I approve of the following picks.

1st - Devin Thomas - WR - MSU
2nd - Tracey Porter - CB - Indiana
3rd - Mike McGlynn - G - Pitt
5th- Trade for DeWayne Robertson (I'm sticking to my guns on this one)
6th - Dennis Dixon - QB - Oregon
7th - Alvin Bowen - OLB - Iowa State

Other possible 7th Round Picks
Dennis Keyes - FS - UCLA

In the first round i would draft limas sweed and then i would draft calais campbell in the second and i belive calais will drop to the second round because of his bad combine and in the third round i would draft jordy nelson and then in fifth round some o linemen sixth round if colt brennans still there id take him and then seventh i would draft marcus monk

[Skinz4life]

I would select Branden Albert.

He would actually fill 2 major needs for the Skins. First he could come in right away and start at Guard over Pete Kendell and that would allow Kendell to be the number 1 back-up at both guard and center. This has been something that I have heard brought up by the front office as being one of our biggest needs multiple times. I also fill that Albert is a player who will eventually find himself being moved out to tackle before his career is over. This is the type of versatility that the skins were missing last year.

In the 2nd round I would take Trevor Laws (if he's available). He's a lot like Albert’s in that he can play 2 different positions DE and DT. I think the skins really value this kind of versatility.

Why are we taking three WR's? What kind of GM are you? Your draft class consist of three wideouts, a slacker, a system QB, and some O-Lineman that will end up writing the latest "Ethan Albright Madden letter."

God, one day we're going to have no O-Line and the rest of you are going to be begging the team to grab O-Lineman left and right. Of course hopefully that'll happen when I'm long gone and burried 6 feet under.

You on the other hand would make an awesome GM.

Dewayne Robertson is the greatest DT of all time. I won't let you say otherwise.

In all seriousness I agree with the experts in that a one-gap 3 technique shouldn't be playing NT. If he got a chance here I think he could produce a 4 or 5 sack season. C. Griffin would also have a better chance to stay healhty but then again there are a few DT's available in the second round that put up a few sacks from the what I presume to be the 3 technique so we'll see how it goes.

Ironically I've started to veer less and less from the idea of adding Robertson via trade. Of course that mock draft you're referring to is what I would forsee the Redskins doing based on what Vinny Cerato has said and whos avaialbe.

[SeanTaylor21]

if you think dewayne robertson was the greatest DT of all time, all you have to do is go back and and see the jets game, he got pushed around like a wimp ad didnt do anything about it and also, you can never have enough WRs

in the 3rd great value. in the 2nd, guys with bigger impacts for us (CBs/DL) are generally better ideas.

[T.O.Killa]

Vinny Cerrato realy likes James Hardy. My guess is we will draft him in the second, if he is there. Also, we may move up in the second to get him.

You realy think that he will drop to 2nd round

Man, I have very little knowledge of where he will be drafted. Vinny Cerrato seems to like him and he said that he will probably go in the 2nd.

i agree with the talib/campbell are over rated. i don't know cason well.

i like godfrey and porter, if you got any tape of them to look at. of course, i like DRC the most.

I've never seen DRC play, but I keep hearing a lot about his cover skills and combine results. But, I have wonder if his frame will hold up in the NFL. The man looks like a stiff breeze would break him in half.

Porter is a good player, I saw him getting burned a few times as well, but not nearly as much as Talib. Porter's a physical CB who can play the run.

I'll take Flowers over Cason, Talib and Porter any day. I can see Flowers being a slower version of Antoine Winfield who ran a 4.41 at the combine.

But Talib ran a 4.44 and we all saw what K State WR Jordy Nelson did to him who ran a 4.51

Unfortunatly I define film as a whole game that shows the good and bad plays. As fans we really only have access to highlights and scouting reports I personally watch NFL Network since they give viewers the good and bad about a prospect instead of just filling your head with highlights. Of course the downside to that is they might analyze 20 or 30 players for an average of 3 minutes if that. Where as, us fans want to see analysis of guys that could go in the 3rd, 5th, and 6th.

Lol, that stiff breeze line is cold, but kind of true. I had posted some YouTube Senior Bowl highlights of the guy but they have since been taken down. Ironically though a recent analysis (by my BOY Mike Mayock) showed Rogers getting burned just as much as he was making plays, still not a bad player, but he might not be the great CB that people are making him out to be.

Anyway looks like he could be a top-15 pick these days.
