Are u blind???!! The OL was f-ing atrocious last year and that is now w/o a doubt the biggest need. Besides, OL has a huge drop off after the first 3 rounds because they are in such high demand

It was atrocious!! That's why they need to trade down and get 2 OL instead of 1 in the first 3 rounds.

You got to think the Skins are going to look to take this guy now that they have a solid qb in their stable.

Logic would make us all think that, but I fear that something else "crazy" is going to happen. Let's hope logic wins out.

This is going to be a Crazy CRAZY draft. If Clausen slips to us at #4...I totally see the Bills or another QB hungry team trading up and giving us more of those sweet sweet draft picks in the top two rounds. Iupait and Bruce Campbell look most excellent in the B's and G's...or perhaps another pick for just BC and perhaps a certain young fella named CJ Spilla Thrilla? One could dream...you know we passed on AP for that Turd LL.

I think that we could definitely get okung. But keep in mind that the skins really like Eric Berry and supposedly trent williams so a trade down is also very likely.

I think we could get back a mid round if the chips fall right. Definitely lessens the loss of picks from the trade (which I don't even think is that bad in the first place).

In my opinion, if Okung is available at 4, then take him. He should be a pro-bowl type player for a decade. If Okung is gone, to Detroit, then I would hope they look to trade down, and accumulate more picks. I do not believe there is a significant difference between the 2nd-6th Tackle. Brown and Saffold project very well as Left Tackles, and should be available in the late 20's. Our 4th round almost certainly has to go O-line now and Kyle Calloway, Marshall Newhouse, and Ed Wang should all be available.

Well, the thing that sucks about the McNabb deal getting done so early is that we lose all leverage that we had for trading Campbell and also for trading our #4 pick. Teams know now that we won't go for a QB with that pick, so they will stay put or trade with teams after us. Other than that, I love McNabb in the B&G.

Assuming we stay at #4 I can't see us going anywhere but LT.

[Monkeydad]

Losing the 2nd Round pick for a new QB can only be a beneficial trade if we get a franchise tackle in the first round. If getting McNabb somehow prevents us from helping the O-line...it will end up being a very bad deal for us.


Keeping Campbell + getting offensive line help > McNabb and no help on the line


I hope we still get Okung or Trent Williams. We should also pursue a RT in a trade if we don't pick up more draft selections to get one.

Regardless of how the draft goes down and how many deals we make...by the time training camp starts, we need two new tackles...starter quality, not just replacements.

I think it's likely Levi returns

Has he played RT before?

He has and he hates it (but he may not have a choice as the options for him dwindle). He would have been a Packer had he been willing to play RT last year.

He isn't a premier tackle by all means but I would feel much more comfortable with 2 starting quality veteran tackles on the roster in case the guy or guys we draft cannot start immediately. I do not want Heyer starting on opening day.
