I think if the Redskins came away with Moses [OT UVA] in the second round and David Yankey [OG Stanford] in the third round my Hypothalamus would go into overdrive resulting in a most fatal and acute influx of Dopamine.

In the simplest of terms, dopamine is a neurotransmitter in the brain that when released, makes you feel good. Eating triggers the release of dopamine, as does sexual activity and many other natural and rewarding activities, such as being in a loving relationship. However many habits and addictions that are not so healthy, also trigger the release of dopamine. Nicotine, cocaine and caffeine all influence dopamine levels and consequently have an impact on our mood.

I do ask that if this scenario should come to pass that the forum uses this as the David Yankey theme song.

1st choice at #34- Jason Verrett. Too skillful. Shutdown potential. Should start early to mid-season.

2nd choice at #34- Safety Deone Bucannon. Active and always around the ball. Very instinctive in coverage and against the run. Strong tackler. Everything you want in a safety and everything the Redskins were missing last year. Would be a perfect fit that would turn a weakness into a strength.

I will be pissed if the Redskins pass on these players for a guy with just size, speed, and/or potential. We have enough Amersons, Leribuses, Phillip Thomases, and Rambos. F*ck potential, Verrett and Bucannon can play now.

I think you are underestimating some of these current players.

I felt that Amerson had a decent rookie season. He should make big strides in his second year.

Phillip Thomas was pencilled in as a starter at safety until he was injured last preseason. I'm still high on him and I think he'll deliver on his promise this season.

I've criticized Leribeus as much as anyone about his lack of conditioning which seems to be due to a lack of motivation. Nevertheless, in the small sample of playing time he's had, LeRibeus looks to me to be a talented player. Apparently, he is in better shape this year, so I think he has a chance to be a good player.

Rambo has a long way to go to be an NFL safety. We'll see what happens.

Verrett and Buchanan may be better players than the current players you mentioned but we don't know that yet. There are no sure things in NFL drafting, so they are both only prospects with potential, as well.

Personally, I would much rather see the Skins pick an OT in the second round than a DB. I think that protecting RGIII better should be the top priority.

Amerson has the potential to be our best player on defense in a couple of years

I like Thomas quite a bit, but he's coming off a very serious injury

Fingers crossed on LeRibeus

Rambo may simply be destined to be a backup, and if that's the case then he has to learn to play special teams. Because backup defensive backs who don't play special teams hardly exist

I agree people somehow forget most top players in the league didn't come in and dominate year one. Amerson has that potential and showed a lot of promise his first year.

As for Rambo, didn't look to good out there. However, if he can develop and play special teams like you said I have no problem with him as a backup. Year 1 was way too much for him but we'll see how he adjusts.

If he is still around at 34 pick that guy and be done with it.

2 things that would make me extremely happy in regards to the draft, we are able to trade down a couple spots and get some extra picks and move Cousins for a 3rd round pick.

This. Lets protect our third year qb before we start replacing our second year db's. Please.

What if Verrett or Bucannon is available at #34, while the best OT, OG, and C available are Billy Turner, Gabe Jackson, and Marcus Martin? Are you really going to pass up one of those two elite prospects for an O-lineman who is a possible upgrade, but a lesser talent? Even if Moses or Bitonio are available, neither are a talent of Bucannon or especially Verrett's caliber. Now, if Su'a-Filo falls, the scenario gets tougher...

Hoping for a run of QBs in the 1st so we can even choose from prospects like Verrett. If Bridgewater, Bortles, Manziel, Carr, and hopefully another QB go in the 1st or very early second(like #34), we'll have some great players available to choose from. Perhaps if Carr or some QB Cleveland likes is available at #34, we can trade down 1 spot and get another pick.

The team's draft board will certainly be a factor; however, we all know that teams rank players differently for a number of reasons. Actually, everybody does.

For example, here's where CBS Sports rates some of the players you mentioned:

Verrett 26
Sua-Filo 30
Moses 37
Bitonio 41
Bucannon 65

If the Redskins' rankings were the the same as the CBS Sports rankings, then the Skins might be inclined to take either Moses or Bitonio at #34 with the idea that Bucannon might be available to them in the third round.

True. Last year, I thought both Amerson and Thomas were 2nd rounders. And then we ended up getting Amerson in the 2nd and Thomas in the 4th.

But if the Redskins board looks like CBS Sports', I might give up football. Bucannon is a borderline 1st round selection; absolutely no way he's available in the 3rd. I personally think he's better than Pryor and Clinton-Dix; the best safety available, in fact. But that's not the point of your post. I agree with you.

Well you are still going on the premise that Amerson and Thomas are busts of some sort. Also how many "elite prospects" have we seen have their most elite moments before they ever put on an nfl uniform? Look I am not doubting that their might be a better prospect available in the 2nd or 3rd round than one of the tackles or gaurds available. I do know that I cannot sit back and watch Tyler Polumbus let RG3 get killed for another year.
