Is there a chance we could move down and fill both with good players? That's really what we need to hit on this draft!

I dunno, Pete. I'd just hate to pass on a player who could be a 10-year starter. It just seems to me that if Andre Smith is there, then the Skins need to take him. I'm not sure that there's anybody the Skins wouldn't be able to pass on at the SLB position, so there's probably a greater than a 50% chance that the Skins will try to trade down.

Are we convinced that Andre Smith or Oher can just move to RT and be a proficient and effective starter from day one? That's my biggest concern with drafting a OT at 13, we're drafting someone to play out of position. Why not draft DE/OLB there and then pick up a RT in the third-where we're likely going to get a OT who played RT for 3-4 years already.

I have no problem with what you're thinking. In fact, I've pretty much convinced myself that Tyson Jackson is the safest - not necessarily the best, but the safest - pick for the Redskins at #13. He is a prototypical LDE in a 4-3 and we need one of those.
