Predict Our Five Starters On the O-Line

What's with all the Trent Williams talk all of a sudden? If we're talking about picking him because of a trade down out of the #4 spot, then OK. But if we're talking about picking him over Okung at #4, then NO WAY! Okung is clearly the better player - in any system.

Trent Williams has played both RT and LT. So yeah, Okung might be the best LT prospect, but a guy like Trent Williams could slide over to RT while we plug in another vet at LT.

And for what it's worth, there's not a lot of space between the top five prospects at tackle, in my opinion. I've seen a few draft boards with Trent Williams as the top tackle in the draft, although the overwhelming consensus is that Okung is the better of the two. But not by much.

As far as Hicks is concerned, I'm not really sold on him. It would be nice to see Chad R. just kick some ass in camp this year and lock down the right guard position.

Wouldn't it be something if the Skins traded down and ended up with both Trent Williams and Bruce Campbell from Maryland.

Two rookie tackles - how you like them apples!!

If one of them apples is Bruce Campbell I think I'd end up with a tummy ache. He's got workout warrior bust written ALL over him.

Huh, you're not a fan:( I think he's worth taking in the second tho.

LT-Okung, LG-Dockery, C-Rabach, RG-Williams, RT-Capers

I like Capers; think he fits schematically, and I hope we get him in the 4th.
He wouldn't be the starter when the season begins, but I think he could take over before it ends.

Next year draft a Guard and a Center in the first 4 rounds, and we have a great start on fixing this O-line for the next decade.

Yep, I agree with Okung, Dockery, Rabach, M. Williams, and Heyer. Flozell Adams is okay, too. I think maybe Rabach might be losing some abilities, but have nothing to base this on except for the barrage of d-linemen surging up the middle last year. That might not be entirely Rabach's fault.

Not Heyer.

This new Coach and FO will see just what he never was.

And the NFL Draft will turn up some starter(s) and some back-ups.

UDFAs will help our depth.

But not Heyer. NoNoNoNoNoNoNo!

Look. I know you think you are an expert at evaluating talent. But quite frankly you probably have ZERO idea what Shanny is planning. You probably have no idea that Heyer is working his butt off in the weight room, watching film, and with the new strength coach. I believe Mike Shanahan may be able to make a pretty good decision or 2 after he get Stephen to camp. Let's not pre judge anybody base upon Zorns obvious lack of offensive plays and Campbells obvious lack of being able to get rid of the ball. I trust Shanny and some of you guys just need to take a chill pill, sit back, and enjoy the experts who are now in charge.

Heaven forbid backrow should express his opinion on a message board

internetcareer:

You seem to like lambasting people on this site who offer their opinions. Pretty much everyone here follows the Skins closer than the average fan in my opinion, and even if you disagree, there really is no reason to say anything more than your thoughts. case in point, with backrow's comment, i doubt you know who he is and what he does and does not know(i certainly don't), so you could simply quote his post, and respond giving your thoughts and opinions without sarcasm or demeaning his knowledge. Several people on this site absolutely are experts at evaluating talent(not me), and nearly one hundred percent of us are going to wait and see, and trust MS' abilities. That doesn't mean we aren't going to offer thoughts and opinions when something stands out as a questionable action, or something that we strongly believe. Bottom line, seems like you are the one who needs to take the chill pill, offer your thoughts, and let others do the same, after all we all want the Skins to go 19-0 next year.
