Terrence Ganaway to replace Hightower would be my choice. The guy is a horse who is deceptively fast and familiar with RGIII.

Doesn't really seem like a Shanahan back. To be one you have to have to be one of the following.

1. Above average vision and anticipation

or

2. Average Vision and antipation with game breaking speed to make up for average vision.

Ganaway appears to have average vision without the gamebreaking speed. Then again thats only going off the Scouts Inc report.

The Way We See It:
An underpowered, intelligent, competitive, hardworking technician, Datko is a hunchbacked zone blocker who played left tackle at FSU, but is better suited to play the right side in the pros. Durability is a major concern and will drop draft standing.

"Effective zone blocker with above average first step-quickness, balance and angles. Gets adequate hand placement and sustains once locked on. Above average body control and can cover up linebackers when works up to the second level. Average drive blocker that can wall off defenders but doesn't generate enough push. Lower body strength appears just average on film. Lunges at times and falls off some blocks. Here again shoulder injury appears to hinder ability to lock out on 2011 film."

In run blocking, Datko is quick off the snap and initially has good pad level and leverage; however, he needs to further develop the strength in his lower body as he does not maintain the low level and begins to raise up on his blocks. He has excellent hand placement (inside the numbers), progresses well to the second level and is best on the move blocking secondary targets.

Really plus size with long arms…quick feet…plays with good leverage most of the time…athletic and does a good job of mirroring in pass protection…does a good job of cut blocking…gets to the second level well…is considered to be a player with a great work ethic…quick off the snap..intelligent player who understands the angles of blocking…

Mitchell Schwartz: California 6-6, 318 my choice for RT. He's higher on this board than any others Ive seen. Looks like lotta people starting to take notice.

Barring that unlikely scenario, I'd take:
3rd Bobby Massie OT Ole Miss - has Shanny speed and athleticism
4th Brandon Taylor SS LSU - a little undersized but has good speed
4th Audie Cole ILB NC State - good size, instincts, and athleticism
5th Danny Coale WR VA Tech - speedy, capable, and can add to our stable of Tech wideouts now that Royal has spurned us

I think Coale will become a good role player. Could do worse.

I'm all for OT or OG in the 3rd round, also I think there's a chance lamichael James may fall that far so maybe we could scoop him up

I was impressed with Tyler Polumbus at RT last season. He's underrated and only gave up 3 sacks last season after filling in for Jammal Brown. His game needs work and he's still young. Willie Smith has been mentioned playing right tackle in the future but he only played on the right side.

While I wouldn't be surprised if the Redskins draft a right tackle, they may as well consider that they already have a few. Speaking of Brown, he's still getting healthy and the Redskins might keep him. But Polumbus, while not pro bowl caliber, is a solid fill in.

I don't know about Brown. Shanahan said he was going to need the whole offseason just to get his strength back and while Polumbus and Smith seem nice I can't help but think we went down this same road with Heyer and Wade.

LaMichael James in the 3rd Round would be a steal. We need playmakers and James has the potential to become an electric playmaker as a 3rd down back and return man.

I would be absolutely ecstatic if we were able to get RGIII in the 1st, James in the 3rd, and Ryan Broyles in the 4th.
