2012 Redskins Draft Day Thread: Round 1

I would like to think the Dallas and Eagle moves were reactions to Griffin, but we should have seen this coming, right? Philly is going to have a wicked pass rush this year...the oline needs to improve markedly. Hopefully Griffin provides ample motivation for our trench guys to be there best!!

Sorry to be cynical but I see how many quality offensive lineman have dropped and I can't help but think we'll take a S, CB, or ILB in the third round. Maybe even a WR. Such is the remnants of the scouts Vinny left behind.

There is absolutely no way they are taking a wide receiver when they need OL, LB, and CB so much more. Maybe in the 6th i guess one could come off the board, but his chances of making it through training camp against the vets we brought in are very slim. Practice squad material. We need O-Line depth more than anything.

Remember, best available player. There is so much OL quality left, there very well could be a OL run in the 2nd round so it makes more sense to take your highest rated player vs. a player you had rated as a 4th rounder just based on position need.
