I'd hate to see what our o-line looks like if we pick a LB with the 13th.

Reinhardt was a 3rd round pick and he's having a hard time dressing for games. If we have that same success next year's team won't be pretty.

2009 NFL Mock Draft Database

Updated with 177 mock drafts and now have 37 mocks updated in FEB.

We also have updated our Mock Database consensus picks, consensus from the mock drafts that have updated over the last 6 days. That includes the Redskins pick at #13.

If we get Smith and have him play either OT or G I would be so happy! It would be the first time ever Vinny would make a good move drafting at such a position. If we can't get one of these tackles, I think we need Maliluga, once in a decade type player and will be way better then Okarapo or whoever he is! But SmootSmack I hope you are correct!

What's wrong with Oher at 13?

Too many red flags (like effort during run blocking and ability to pick up a blitz scheme) in college no less. If we stay at 13, and Monroe and Smith are gone, take Maualuga and build a defense around that guy!!

We need to build a offense. You know, the weakest part of the team for the last 10 years.

THAT MAKES ABSOLUTLEY NO SENSE!

First off, Malauga is a MLB we have Flecther for at least 2 (given he's healthy). Second Maualuga would not fill a need given that he is an OLB, and last time I checked our focuse was on OT, or OLB NOT MLB. You draft for need then talent, and if we can't draft an OT or an OLB (Curry) you trade down and get more picks. You don't build a defense around a MLB, you build on the D Line first.

I've asked this before w/o getting an answer: why couldn't Maualuga play OLB for a couple years before taking over for Fletcher? After all we originally drafted Blades as a MLB and whenever we need a guy to fill in, especially on the strong-side, he's our man.

... i'm not absolutely advocating Malauaga but saying if he's the very best talent left @ 13 (say all 4 1st round o tackles are gone or it comes down to Oher vs Malauaga vs Cushing) then we'd be wise to take him and let him play.

The thing is I haven't seen him play OLB at USC, but maybe at the combine or when the Redskins visit with him they'll put him through some OLB drills, but from what I heard, his NFL stock is at MLB.

After thinking about the possibility of drafting Rey Mal. i've come around a little bit. No we don't need a MLB. We need a pash rusher/DL/Ol. Think about some of the great pash rushers in todays game...Harrison, Woodley, Shawn Merriman, etc. Some play in the 4-3 granted, but his pass rushing skills might be beneficial. I don't know...just thinking out loud. If he falls, no doubt he's a great talent. I wish we had another 1st or a 2nd pick this year, b/c we need more than 1 good player.

Too the people who would like us to draft defense: Have you guys given up on JC? How can you expect him to improve if you don't get better in the trenches.

Well, I think first and foremost is probably improving the entire team and that includes the d-line.

That's not to say we don't need help on the OL, we do of course.

Side note, I'm increasingly skeptical that Campbell is in their long range plans anyway. But that's another topic for another day.

Any particular reason? Are you hearing rumblings the rest of us aren't privy to?

No, let me just make this clear for a second here, I haven't heard anything to legitimately suggest they have any idea what they want to do at the QB position, with or without JC.

I have no inside knowledge on Campbell being let go or benched or anything like that. These are just my own suspicions.

Haven't heard a word about that either. In fact, from every indication out of Zorn and other sources, Zorn is pretty committed to JC. Taking a QB when you only have 4 picks and tons of needs simply doesn't make sense. So, yes, I can see Vinny doing it.
