Whaddya think?

I don't know. I think that scouts consider the guys you listed might be the top of third tier. I guess that guys that are predicted to fall in the late third through the fourth round are consdered third tier guys and right now I think the Redskins want to be safe and not overpay or overdraft the first tier (Sweed, Thomas, Kelly) but at the same time not let the guys from the second teir pass them by (Manningham, Nelson, Avery). Yet it's still very possible that Hubbard and Franklin could get drafted, given they have decent college numbers and measureables that rival that of DJ Hacket.

However given the priority placed by the front office at wide reciever I doubt that they don't end up with at least one guy from the top of the second tier.

I think the answer to your question of "could the Skin's draft these guys" is what tier of tight ends was Chris Cooley in. If cooley was a third tier guy then it's very possible that the Skin's could draft one of the two guys you listed.
