For any Terps fans/alumni, did you guys see Heyward-Bey's 40 time? Glad to see he's doing well. Makes me wish we had picked up just one receiver last year and picked him up this year. Oh well.

Not 100% positive, but I believe that in addition to the aforementioned Andre Smith and Brian Orakpo we also met with Jarron Gilbert, Alex Mack, and Max Unger this weekend

Good stuff. I said it before, with the depth at D-line/O-line/LB in this draft, it would be ideal IMO to trade down for multiple picks.

Detroit is the team the Skins (and everyone else) should be hoping to get a call from. If Detroit wanted to move up for someone like Orakpo ... or a QB if they pass on Stafford for some reason ... then we could squeeze them for picks 20, 65, and 129. That works by the value chart (within 7 points ... which would be a low 7th if you wanted to make it totally even). Probably would mean passing on a tackle, but you could then target a guy like Unger at 20.

Or Alex Mack. Detroit might go for it since they need a QB and o-line help. Of course as you say they might want someone like Orakpo too with such a bad defense and Swartz being a defensive minded coach. I think this would be our best scenario.

I feel that there is enough o-lineman talent this year that we could pick up a good tackle or guard in the lower part of the first round.
