I'm with you, but here's the thing. The Redskins don't cope well with young players. Looking at how poorly they prepped Jason Campbell to win a game last year, and how poorly they prepped Rocky McIntosh to play a game last year, and their general attitute to the draft, it seems that the oldest coaching staff in the NFL prefers players 28 to 32.

Younger players are warehoused until/unless the Skins are FORCED to use them (Kedric Golston). One side effect of bringing in free agent vets is that the coaching staff isn't very good at developing rookies imho.

There's a good chance that Gaines Adams will be gone by pick six. If that's the case, Okoye would be the best choice for the Redskins situation rignt now. Only, the Skins will trade #6 for a veteran player, if they can.

The kid will be an NFL starter before he's old enough to drink.
