- According to JLC the front office has promised Blache a D-lineman early in the draft
- Cerrato doesn't like any of the 1st round recievers
- Synder is desperate for another reciever and almost had us take Ted Ginn Jr. over Landry
- They're banking on a guy like McGlynn being available in the 3rd round. As some of you know McGlynn is the drafts most versitle O-Line prospect with the ability to play all 5 positions along the line. Plus they might also be eyeing a Dockery type in Felton during the 5th round. And history has shown the Redskins drafting two players at the same position for a while now. Personally I wouldn't mind seeing the Redskins go a little later with O-Line if they come out of this years draft (Picks and UDFA's) with McGlynn, Felton, Crummy as one of those guys is bound to be a good player.

Either way I would rather have Merling then Campbell. To me he's a younger version of Phillip Daniels and though he doesn't rack up a ton of sacks he still gets pressure on the QB as well as tackle's for loss. I know he's not sexy, and I know he's not Branden Albert, but still drafting a guy like Merling might go a long way in showing how the front office has changed.

In fact I would much rather have Merling/Nelson then Sweed, Kelly, Thomas/Campbell.

Good post, I like the info.

Did you see that Kiper updated his mock today to have Branden Albert going to the Chiefs at 5! thats one hell of a jump up the boards!
