Does anyone agree with me on drafting Rey Maualuga? The only sure fire OT prospects will be gone as well as the only viable 1st round pass-rusher (Orakpo). I think we should have learned our lesson about drafting purely on need from last years run on pass catchers and reaching for Rhinehart.

If our organization wants to get better then the need to adopt a simple philosophy with high draft picks. DRAFT BEST PLAYER AVAILABLE! Fill needs in middle to late rounds. That's what the Patriots do and that's what the Ravens do.

Maualuga has all the potential to be special and players like that don't come around often (a la Sean Taylor). We need to start thinking long term building and stop just putting out fires. Fletcher is like 35 and Washington can't stay on the field.

Who's with me?
