Smart pick...thank you FO for not kicking the team in the nutts with a dumb trade for Sanchez! We are MUCH better off! This gives us an amazing line. I am super excited for our pass rush this year! I don't recall the last time it looked this good!

Well said, my feelings exactly.

Yeah that is why I wanted Oher. THis guy is a beast, but if he has a weak knee that might come into play sooner than later. The combine stuff doesn't faze me though. Since we were smart and kept JC and didn't go for Sanchez, you would have thought we would have decided to give him some help up front. Still we addressed a glaring need of ours and I give the pick an A!!!!! Just hope that knee crap can be chalked up to "shit happens".

Which KNEE are you referring to? He's sprained both.

We still have a 3rd rounder don't forget, and there has always been decent help left in the 3rd round for OL.

That would be nice, but Redskins seems to be high on Toler.. Unless someone draft him before us..

Even if we don't draft an OL, I'm sure there will be some good OL help on the FA market after the June cuts.

I don't think there's a June distinction anymore.

Do you mean every day injuries in the sense that he seems to be injured every day?

[CRedskinsRule]

I do like the pick, also he said first thing he is going to do--- Buy a BIG bed. Great answer. With our DL rotation I think our D will be fierce.

[NM Redskin]

So best starting front four in the NFL, Cater Grif, Hay, and Rak? On paper looks like it.

Also gotta love Rak's answer to what he was gonna buy with his first pick. A huge bed, nice. Also he looked generally happy to get pick by Wash.

That's the problem.....best on paper. They're always the best on paper, they need to be the best on the FIELD. You cant win games on paper, if you could, we would have six or seven super bowl rings adn we wouldnt be a .500 team every year.

I wouldn't say the best front four, but I will say it's a considerably improved front four. The best we've seen here in quite some time.

I challenge any team to put up a better front 4. This is a top notch crew now. Once the chemistry is there, we will be outstanding.
