The Redskins want to replace Jon Jansen for good

I posted this cause a lot of people in this forum want Jansen gone. Personally I want him to be given one more chance, as for signing Runyan, it would have to be a 1 year contract just to fill the hole if they decide to cut Jansen. Runyan is in his mid 30's and can still play and I just don't see people lining up to signing him unless it's for the vet minimum in which you don't break the bank if you draft someone with the 13th pick. We just spent 180mil on 3 players and our cap space is close, especially after the draft. My theory is you trade down get Mack instead of some questionable T and fill the position the next year.

Why would Runyan sign a one year deal? It doesn't make sense for him or his agent. I don't see Runyan as much of an upgrade from Jansen.

There is a reason that we have the 13th pick, only 12 teams were worse than us. We don't need a backup center with our first round pick we need a starting tackle.

I don't know which of the four top tackles are questionable. That Outland Trophy that Andre Smith earned answers all of my questions.

Mack can play C or G, Thomas is a ?. Rinehart can play T so can Heyer, no one is going to sign Runyan for more than 2 years. People complain about Jansen being injured all the time, Runyan is always on the field and knows the NFC East opponents well. Smith right now is a ? unless he changes his way till draft day.

So we should bench Randy Thomas for a rookie and bring in John Runyan who is a frickin eagle and is a liability in pass pro just like Jansen. That would mean 3 of the 5 starters on the line are gone and two of the new starters know nothing about our system. Musical chairs on the line is usually a bad idea. Mack won his awards (which don't add up to Rinehart) at center, why would we draft him and make him a guard?

Is the goal to go after David Carr's record for sacks or to try and win the division?

Mack would play G for a season and move to C after Rabach is probably released next year, Mack can start right away and adds insurance if Thomas doesn't comeback from surgery or Rabach gets hurt.

Absolutely NO to signing John Runyan. He had the dreaded microfracture surgery on his knee and he turns 36 this year. We don't need any more injury prone old guys on the O-line.
