Back to reality.
That (line / post) sounds good: Duke Robinson, Jordan Cross, Rinehart, and Mack. You could also keep some of our vets as back ups. If they did come in they'd be healthy, fresh, and experienced.
I don't think we could get Mack and Robinson without trading up. Both seem to be figured to go in the first or second round, we've only one pick in the first, and we're not the only ones who are looking at them.
I don't think Brandon Jacobs will come to Washington. If he does leave NY then he'll go to Pittsburgh or New England.
I was just thinking. We don't have to blow everything in the draft or free agency. There's a lot of talent all over the place. How about we look on some top college Rugby teams? It's basically the same game without the pads. Those boys know how to hit, scratch and claw for every inch, and aren't affraid to lose a tooth or five. What about the other FutBol? Have you ever seen one of those guys kick a ball off? They can put a soccer ball on the mark from all the way down field. What's a fifty yard field goal to them besides easy? Kicker problem solved at a third of the cost. That's if we can't get Shane Lechler.
To me it makes sense to look outside of the box. Nascar is using college football players for their pit crews now because of their accuracy, speed, and strength. Why can't we get a Canadian hockey player to get down an dirty in the NFL? I miss a good NFL brawl. It would be cheaper and there aren't that many teams or scouts looking in that direction.

That's someone good to find while they're still in college, not for the NFL, on the rugby idea. And the soccer kicker experiment has been tried before
