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

Capers is somewhat highly rated, at least as a possible 3rd round pick. Unfortunately once we get into the 4th round and later, we are digging through scraps looking for a nice juicey T-bone.

Alex Gibbs, ZBS guru, said that he looks for converted Tight Ends for his linemen because of their athleticism and quick release off the line. Many of the other potential linemen don't project well in a ZBS. I don't see how we can get out of this draft without getting at least 2 O-linemen.

A guy we might check out that's been joked about here is Ed Wang of Va. Tech. He's a converted TE that played LT last year. He's projected in the 5th to 6th I believe.

He's another of the "project" guys in that he'll likely need a year or two, but he's got the athletic ability for the scheme. Also, as someone pointed out in another thread, they should draft him just to give him #69!

We've definitely met with Wang a couple of times. I could certainly see him in the 5th or 6th

But as long as we're talking converted Tight Ends, give me Charles Brown

Absolutely. I really like the way he plays football. I, for one, didn't mention him because I was thinking that we'd probably be able to get Okung at #4 and we don't have another pick until the 4th round. Now, if we trade down from #4, I'd definitely like to see the Skins pick Charles Brown.
