None of these guys should stay except for Rabach and there will be a center in the 3rd round that can come in and start here. He might not be an immediate upgrade over rabach but hell be a lot cheaper, younger, and a change which is what our line needs.

Sign:
G Harvel Dahl - shouldn't cost a lot started for Falcons and is young.
T Stacy Andrews - guys a monster and he'll be cheaper because of injury. bengals want him back though.
DT Collin Cole - Guys young. He's big, won't be an answer but better then anything we got after Griffin.
DE - Igor Olshanksy - Guy kinda seems like phillip daniels physically and our fans love daniels I have no idea why, but we don't have many options. If Cerratto and our fans weren't retarded and didn't beg for a WR last offseason we might have actually drafted a DE and not had the whole Taylor situation. I have little faith in Cerratto, seeing as although we supposively had a more conservative approach to the offseason last year all Cerratto was doing was fishing to absolutley destroy this team which we don't have the money to do in free agency anymore so he went to trades and the draft. I still haven't forgotten the actual offer for 2 1st rounders for Chad Johnson. I though that was the dumbest thing I ever saw in my life as a Skins fan, then I saw our draft and lost all hope in our FO. Then Zorn came in and made good personnel decisions all season long so I think there's hope for us, but its all just how much of a leash Zorn can keep on Cerratto's insanity.


Draft
Pick 13 - Rey Maualuga
3rd Round - Eric Wood

I think Cole and Igor would be good pickups but Stacy Andrews will want more money than should spend on an older lineman with injury issues.

I also disagree with cutting Rabach this year. Rabach should be gone next year, but we arent going to find a rookie in the 3rd round who can replace him and be an upgrade in 2009. I wanted to get rid fo him this year before too, but considering all our other needs, we should really keep him around atleast one more year. Rabach is cheap enough to be worth his contract. And if he has better guards on either side of him in 2009, he should do just fine.

Under no circumstances should we take Maualuga at 13. We need to take one of the top 4 Tackles if they are still there or trade down and take an OT with our first pick. We can easily fill the LB spot vacated by Washingon with Channing Crowder out of Miami.

I also think Wood would be a good pickup in the 3rd round. If i'm not mistaken, he can play guard or center, so that would give us considerable flexibility.

Another thing ive noticed in several blogs and forums recently is that People keep talking about how we should move Jansen to guard this year if we draft a new RT... didn't we try that experiement in the past and it was a horrible failure? Just wondering because if im wrong and Jansen could be a capeable guard, it would definitely give us more flexibility with what we do in free agency and the draft.
