This thread is supposed to be a fun little doomsday scenario, where no good value players are available. In reality though, I'm actually pretty sure that Oher will be the next Redskin (unless we pass on him). Kiper doesn't think he's going until the late 20's, and I don't think anyone will pull the trigger on him after Cincinnati because everyone else has other needs that would take precident unless they really like Oher.

I do think there's a solid chance that the big four will be gone, but it all depends on the top of the draft.

Wait, you're pretty sure Oher will be the next Redskin, but you also think there is a solid chance the big four will be gone?

I admit I don't know if this guy is best suited as an OLB, but if he can play Sam & rush the passer, he's worth the pick.

Is Tyson Jackson really a top 10 pick at this point? And Oher? I'd be surprised to see that.

Take Unger or Mack. Due to cap restraints, trade some of remaining draft picks or 1 lower one from next years to get into the upper 2nd round and take an OT Britton or Loadholt to solid up the O-line, then let's go on to camp.

I like the idea of getting Mack if we could trade down & pick up a 2nd too. Mack should be around in the 20-32 range.

After thinking about the impact of a center, I think we might be undervaluing it. The center calls a lot of signals to his linemates & has to be prepared. Also, w/so many teams playing the 3-4 well, dominant nose tackles are going to be a position that a lot of coaches covet. We'll see more DTs being developed for that.

I don't think Buges et al believe Rabach's play isn't a concern, it just likely isn't their biggest concern. J. Ratliff beat him badly that one game, but aside from that I think he's played at least ok.

Bottom line to me, center is not the highest priority but if Mack is the BPA after we trade down, I think it's a smart pick.

Were going to trade down w/ Min (22) and select Alex Mack, and pick up a 2nd and draft Jason Williams OLB W. Illinois. But if I had to pick at 13, I'd choose Tyson Jackson DE LSU. Some mocks have him going at 10 to SF, but I think he'll fall to us. He can play the run as well as rush the passer.

According to my draft board I would take Alex Mack. Michael Johnson and Moreno would also get consideration.

Incidentally, Michael Johnson only did 20 reps of 225 lbs. in his pro day bench press...a whopping one more than Andre Smith

pick again villain. in the scenario this discussion is based on, jackson has already been drafted with the 9th pick.

[GTripp0012]

To clarify:

If I ask Joe Schmoe with a mock draft how likely he thinks it is that all four tackles will go before the Skins pick, he might say 1 in 10 or 1 in 12. I'd say it's closer to 1 in 3.

But if I think there is one player the Skins will end up with, it's Oher, because there's a greater "we'll take him if he's there" probability than with any other player.

Oher has been and still is my top choice at the end of the day...and I think the Redskins feel the same way

something we agree on. other then Albert, Oher is the most polished. and has more potential to make a sooner impact

I would have a hard time understanding what the skins were thinking if Oher was there at 13 and they passed on him. At worst, hes a franchise RT- which, incidently is probably our most pressing immediate need. If Oher can be consistent and reach his potential under Bugel, then he's our franchise LT for the next 10 years or more.

The only way i think the skins pass on Oher if he's there at 13 is if they have a partner to trade down and theyre enamored with somone like Britton.

I agree with you, if I had to choose I'd choose Oher. He's the safest pick available and (like you said) he can become a decent RT, and at best he could be a pro bowl LT.
