Our 2010 First Round Draft Pick Should Be...

I support the notion that a great player in the offensive backfield could make the lines job easier, but I would suggest that you should make it a great running back, someone who could make a decent running team out of the current line.

The Redskins simply do not have the receivers to make the next two years of the passing game anything but a moderate success, best case scenario. However, since we tend to block well with our receivers against other DBs, and we're trying to build the OL anyway, I think the quickest way to make the OL look competent would be to get the best available RB.

If we were to go to a more run, run, play action style of offense, you'd probably want to change the quarterback as well, since Campbell is more of a read and react style player, than a PA, throw the ball in a tight window down the field. But since we can't really make great strides in the passing game with just an offseason or two, lets go to work on the running game first.

That's why the Skins should have drafted Adrian Petersen when I told them to do it. But, since it's too late to do that, they can follow my Plan B, which is as follows:

Trade or cut everyone on the team who is older than Albert Haynesworth. Draft Tim Tebow in the first round. Use picks acquired via trades to move up and draft Javid Best in the late first or early second round. Draft nothing but OL with the rest of the picks.

Drafting Tebow and Best would give us two good RB's in the draft. Plus we'd get a QB (Tebow) a receiver (Best), and a return man (Best).

There's no need to compensate me, Danny. This particular brilliant insight of mine is gratis.

The same can be said when the Colts drafted Peyton manning...You have to start with the HEAD(QB) first....Add OL in the 2nd-5th or even trade the 2011 pick Example the Atlanta Falcons......

A great line isnt worth shiiii unless you have a QB...and a QB ainst shiii with out the OL

In another thread I said that the '95-'97 squads really didn't suck all that bad, not compared to this one. I mean Terry Allen was one of the top rushers in '95-'96. Without a good line you can't run or pass, and that is what we are facing currently.

We're not talking about ignoring the line. Just talking about taking a QB in the first and then going OL most of the rest of the way

DBUCHANON101 · 11-01-2009, 11:21 PM

i still feel we should go after a LT 1st that will set us for the next 10yrs or so. then a QB or a Center. I guess it depends on who our next HC is.

Ask yourself, what would MARTY do?

DBUCHANON101 · 11-01-2009, 11:22 PM

We dont have a 3rd.

DBUCHANON101 · 11-01-2009, 11:23 PM

Trade Landry for picks.

I think having a 1st and two 2nd rounders (with a competent GM) could fill a lot of holes in our team.

(Throw in a 3rd rounder for Portis when this "competent GM" tricks the Browns or the Raiders, we are set! LOL.)

If the offense is going to get blown up, then next year is the time to do it.

Portis = trade
Landry= trade
Moss = trade
Cooley = trade
whoever = trade

Without a good GM it will be for naught!

We need to draft the best O-Lineman with our 1st 2 picks. If we can trade down and aquire more picks than we should. Oline all the way. A great O-line can make a average QB look great.

not sure what all you guys are smoking...but Jimmy Clausen is the best QB far and AWAY in this years draft. You can't be serious thinking McCoy or Tebow is going to be better...??? That's just ludicrous. Name me 3 good QB's from both Florida and Notre Dame COMBINED! Jimmy Clausen is the class of the draft...this is coming from a Florida fan too. The next good QB is probably going to be Matt Barkley out of USC.

best draft boards there are...updated weekly...with NFL picks as well as all other sports. Every mock draft so far has Jimmy Clausen as the top rated QB...McCoy is barely in the first ROUND!

What do the past QB's of a school have to do with a current QB? What because Joe Montana went to ND that means that ND churns out HOFers every 4 yrs? Or since school "A" had a bust that no matter who comes after him they will never succeed in the pros? Im not saying that Clausen is not a good prospect but to label him the best just because of the team he is playing for in college has had a good success rate of Qb's in the pros is just stupid.
USC QB's for example. look at Carson Palmer who is pretty good, then look at Leinhart--didnt look to good hence the reason the team signed Kurt Warner,Booty-was cut from Min and resigned to a practice squad last i heard--,Cassell--KC is finding out they were robbed and that Moss can still make ANY QB look great--and Sanchez--not much to write home about to this point.
