More of The U for the D?

Mcshay has Merling going to us in the first and Jordy in the second as of today. At the same time he's guessing that Carl Nicks will still be available in the third round. It makes sense though when you look at the factors.

- 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!

WHAT! I mean I love Branden Albert, but 5th overall? For that to happen the Chiefs would have to be banking on his potential as an OT. But man, Kipers being one stingy mofo in his mock draft. I guess I missed that because out of habit I went right to the Redskins pick.

If things go his way we'll basically lose most of our first and second round prospects of Albert, Merling, Harvey, Mike Jenkins, L. Jackson (who we might be forced to reach for in the first if all those DE's are taken and Synder and Cerrato stick to their guns about not drafting a 1st round reciever......well Cerrato, Synder on the other hand wanted "Mr. I run 3 routes" over "Mr. Best Defensive Prospect")
