With the 5th pick in the draft the Washington Redskins select...

since lawrence taylor, has such a slender [under 240] pass rusher recorded double digit sacks?

von miller is the closest i could think of but he's 250, i believe. von miller's combine profile says he was 246 at the time.i didn't think so!

i like gregory but not #5 overall. but i don't feel extremely strong about that, he may be worth it. i certainly don't know

In a strange way I'm rooting for them to take Mariota, if only because it means Scot McCloughan likes him. And given how much he liked Russell Wilson, I'd see it as a very good sign if McC thought highly enough of Mariota. I'm not sure if that is circular logic but it basically shows my faith in McCloughan.

All that said, I think Fowler is the pick.

let's get a poll going in here.

with "trade down" being a choice

I am hoping for a trade down since there seems to be some good pass rushers later in the draft. Now, if Leonard Williams is there at 5, which I dont personally think is possible, then you take him barring an absolutely crazy trade offer.

As for our pick if we stay at 5, Im hoping for either Beasley or Fowler. Imo, Beasley will be the better pass rusher, Fowler will be the better overall OLB. I understand the logic of a WR with that pick, but im still hoping for help with the pass rush with the number 5 since a WR being dominant requires getting him the ball. And unless we improve across the OL and QB, the best WR isnt going to help us much, where as a dominant defense can.

What if Mariota is there at 5 and Mclovin doesn't pick him, people will swear DS made him pass on him. We can't win with the media.

NO WR'S PLEASE. Seriously, get one in the 4th round that can be a #3 and be a punt returner. We need a pass rusher or someone that can protect the QB.

Why wouldn't we take Beasley? He seems to be the most complete OLB in the draft. Plus no off the field issues.

We've done the trade down thing already and it netted us Jarvis Jenkins, Leonard Hankerson, and Roy Helu. Let that bull sink in. We traded up and got RG3, I wanna stay where we are and take the BPA

rather take a chance on a major impact player at 5, no question

you can find all 3 of those above in free agency for pennies
