Right Tackle prospect to look for in the 4th round.

I know that Ed Wang has gotten a lot of holding penalties, but I think he would be a good 4th round pick, as well. He is athletic, he has great size and long arms, and he seemed to stand out whenever I watched VT play. I think he could become a very good RT.

If we don't trade our #4 pick for more picks then Fox in the 4th rd would be a steal, i believe one of his medical problems was an irregular heartbeat.

Keep in mind that if no trades are made by the 'Skins, when that 4th round pick comes around, it'll be smart to start drafting the best prospects 'regardless' of position needs.

He struggled in a big way at the Senior Bowl. Make no mistake, Capers is a project (think Rinehart).

Yea, that's the problem. Once you get into the 4th round, everyone really is a project. Capers definately wouldn't be able to start in week 1, but he does have upside and he fits.

Of the linemen that I have looked over, he seems to be the best fit in the 4th round range. There will be some sleeper guys available in the 5th and later, but who knows anything about them?

The team could also look at RB or Defense for a 4th rd selection. I just hope the team has their good scouting goggles on because we need multiple picks to be productive this year.

Quoted for truth.

Really, everyone after Bulaga is a prospect of some sort. And because I have Anthony Davis ranked ahead of Bulaga, who is definitely a project, most of the first round tackles come with a developmental curve. At least compared to those of the last two years.

Wang in the 5th is a possibilty, he would fit the scheme. Brown would be an ideal fit if we could drop down in the 20s. If we could trade the 4 pick for a late 1st and an early 2nd, and then scoop up Brown AND Saffold, our Tackle situation would be resolved for a decade.
Generally I agree about Best Player Available, but we need to get 2 O-linemen out of this draft somehow, somewhere in my opinion.

I would be fine if they draft Capers in the 4th round. He is a top 100 ranked player according to most draft sites, he fits the scheme as a zone blocker, and has the ability to play multiple line positions.

Fox does have an irregular heartbeat, and it was serious enough that he missed at least one game. I also read where he had to have extensive testing done at the combine, and then get tested again. If Fox is there in the 4th, and we don't take him, then we should conclude that he has too much risk. He has been ranked as a top 50 player most of last year.

Call me unpopular but I'll take Tony "Joe Dirt" Washington if he's there in the 4th.

Sadly theres a long list of people in the NFL who have done worse then Tony Washington. I could get on board with us drafting him, but it would take a few weeks.

Agree, I think he would be more motivated to be a better player cause he's got to know what people are thinking/saying about him it can only make you stronger.

I can't get on board with drafting Tony Washington in the 4th round or drafting him at all. Beside the public relation nightmare that would ensue, his level of competition was far inferior than most every other draftable player. He may not even get drafted, or at least not until the 6th round.

Everyone deserves a 2nd or 3rd chance, but let him wait until the draft is over before giving it to him. The full story may even be worse then we know, and we just don't need that kind of distraction in my opinion. Signing him as an Undrafted Free Agent is more palatable to me at least, and allows the few valuable draft picks the team has to be used more judiciously.

I hope he is there, at four. That is what they said about Vick, and now it looks like a great value, that if they wanted to could trade right know.

Circon Black RT from LSU, would be a pretty good pick in Round 4

Was'nt he the guy that ran a 6 minute 40ytd.

[T.O.Killa]

Sam Young could be there at four and I think he would be an outstanding talent for RT
