Huge FA Class in 2011 - But will anyone want to come here?

Redskins Insider - Roster analysis: The offensive line market

The only way to make the Championship fair and impartial is to play cold weather cities. Alternating annually, how would the SEC fair in an outdoor game in Minneapolis? But that's an argument for another thread.

Why sir dem is fighting words. Everyone done know the real national championship done be held in Atlanta every December. The one in January is just for show. Like a real fancy like exhibition game. Yes sir. Now you come on back now, so long as you don't bring any gays or black people that can't play football.

Okay I'm done

The SEC should just play each other and let every other Conf. play for 2nd place or like a Silver medal or something..

Someone will want to come here if for no other reason to make a bunch of money. Eventually they will get tired of the dysfunction and go to a team that is a playoff contender and is functional.

Ryan Kalil won't be franchised but my gut tells me that he'll sign with the Panthers before hitting the open market. Mankins is a 50-50 shot to resign with the Patriots but between his old age and his huge upcoming contract I don't want to have much to do with him.

Joesph makes the most sense seeing as how he plays a position of need and the front office knows what to expect from him, from his practice habits to his ability on gameday. He'll still cost a pretty penny but he's young and talented enough to justify the price tag.

Cardinals guard Deuce Lutui (27) - Horrible fit for the zone

Falcons guard Justin Blalock (27) - A younger version of Dockery, but ironically he has played in a zone blocking scheme. Still I don't see him leaving Atlanta.

Ravens guard Chris Chester (28) - Great fit as a zone blocker. Should seriously look into bringing him on

Ravens tackle Jared Gaither (24)- Intriguing but between the injury concerns and the fact that he's not a great zone blocking fit I don't know if I'd want him. The age is a great selling point though.

Ravens guard/tackle Marshal Yanda (26) - Could be a nice fit especially with his ability to play RT but I find a guy like Chester more intriguing

Broncos tackle Ryan Harris (25) - He's kind of like Haynesworth. Really talented but always misses a few games each year. After Brown he would be my favorite option.

Raiders center Samson Satele (26) - On one hand the Raiders had a great running game. On the other hand the Dolphins got rid of him because they were tired of being unable to get a push up the middle.

Steelers tackle Willie Colon (27) - Doesn't seem athletic enough to handle this scheme.

Seahawks center Chris Spencer (28) - I would love to consider him seeing as how he's a former first round pick but apparently he's been a bust to this point.

Also on a side note if you bring in Chester and Joesph to play Guard and resign Brown you would have 4 Offensive Lineman from Oklahoma which besides upgrading the line would also help to serve giving Orakpo that extra bit of motivation during practice.

Key word in my original post was SOME. I didn't say sign all of them. Just some of the ones I thought could be a good upgrade. But then again, maybe I am going for blasphemous.

Yeah I know he probably will. And yes, that was what I was referring to, playing NT. Am I incorrect in thinking he used to play NT at one point?

I have the Ravens vs. Titans game in 2008. Ngata was listed at NT that game. He did play some DE in sub packages.

He used to play more NT. He still does sometimes since the Ravens move him around. But now he is primarily a DE.

It would be nothing compared to the Auburn-Colorado rivalry...wait, what?

So he is definitely capable of playing the NT, however I don't think that will even matter as he will probably never hit the market for us to find out. Nice pipe dream though. If we got a nice ILB like Ruud and drafted an OLB like Von Miller, we would be set at the LB position. And seeing as we have many needs that need to be addressed in the draft, why not just sign Franklin from 49ers to play NT while were at it?!
