Superbowl Mohawk Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Yes I too wonder about Oher's intelligence. I know he scored higher on the Wonderlic than Andre Smith. By a couple if not a few points. 19 I believe was his score. (Oher). However I have seen that he really can't READ? Or that he has some form of A D D ??? Can anyone shed some insight? You guys got me convinced we gotta take O-LINE first no matter what!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arsenic Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 I think LB is a bigger need than OL. RM or JL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsMaster88 Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 I just hope Oher's intelligence isn't a problem. That's something that has me a bit worried. Considering the development he's had since high school, I think that with the proper coaching and support system, he should develop into one of the best linemen in the league. In high school, he was 1st-team USA Today and EA Sports All-American. In 2005, he earned 1st-team Freshman All-America honors from Rivals.com and The Sporting News. In 2006, he earned 2nd team All-SEC honors. In 2007, he earned consensus 1st team All-SEC selection, Mid-Season 1st team All-American by The Sporting News. In 2008, he was consensus 1st team All-American and All-SEC selection. Each year, he's improved and learned more of the game. In terms of guys that could be there realistically at #13. I'd want: Oher, Smith, or Maualuga. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read this for background on Oher: http://www.nytimes.com/2006/09/24/magazine/24football.html?_r=1&pagewanted=print Warning: It's a long article. If you print it out, it's 19 pages. The book that goes over Oher's story is called The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game by Michael Lewis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedskinDaddy Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Hail!!! I wanted to see who we all thought we should take at 13. Let's say we don't or can't move up or down. Sanchez, Orakpo, Andre Smith are all gone. Realistically; Oher, Rey Rey, Cushing, and Jackson might all be there at 13. Almost all mock drafts I have seen have E.Brown gone to Buffalo. I just dont see Sanchez falling to us and any potential suitors moving up to grab QB Freeman for our pick. People have said it's too high a pick for Jackson (LSU) and I tend to agree with that notion. Though he is the safest pick of all four of them in my opinion. Yet has the lowest ceiling too. I would love to take Rey Rey, however, I think we need OT. I hope we can trade back like so many of us but, if all four were there... IMO Oher would make the most sense. What do you guys think? :helmet: Im so torn between REY and OHER. My heart says Rey but my head says Oher... My friend, I understand you're jacked about the upcoming draft and our 13th pick; hell, we all are. As evidenced by the many many existing draft threads discussing all manner of things, including who we should or will take with our 1st pick. I'm not trying to harsh your gig just for the heck of it, brother. It just doesn't help the members or the mods when the board gets cluttered up with redundancies, that's all. Just trying to give you a heads-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCDiesel44 Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 MICHAEL OHER!!! The guy is a beast and has been throughout his football career. Throw in a center with one of our other picks and we got a formidable offensive line this year. Next year draft a LT to develop under Samuels and he'll be ready by the time Samuels is ready to retire/move on. We don't have to worry about our lines as long as we develop guys through the draft like we should have doing. As long as we draft a guy like Oher this year and another lineman were headed in the right direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedskinPryde Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Limited around the picks with just four options... But to be honest with you id like to see the skins pick up Laurinaitus from Ohio State... That man has an attitude and plays with a higher motor then most...

rumplestilskin Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Smith,Oher, Ayers,Cushing. I am Ok with any of these dudes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PROSCOUT Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Great post. I liked E. Brown the most. As you said, and another thread someone pointed out, he has a lot of moves. Here is what it is. Brown is a great speed rusher and will probably become a pro bowl sack artist in the NFL. If the Skins want to improve their pass rush, take him Rey Maualuga..if the Skins want to improve their RUN defense..take him Andre Smith...if the Skins want to gain more yds on the ground...take him. Too bad we can't have them all. But I'm pretty sure we can have one of them. So this can be a good draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamboater Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Rey Rey has my vote. I dont think Oher is worthy of a 13th pick. He should be a starter from day one with no questions asked. Rey Rey had some maturity issues but thats too be expected at a young age, along with drinking. Hell who doesnt party in their early 20's. If we cant trade down and Sanchez is gone, Rey has the ability to be a stud, day one starter. I think that is what we should expect from a 13th overall pick.

DonMagicJuan Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 i really think we need to trade back and get a 2nd rounder, and grab Clint Sintim, the OLB from UVA....hes a TRUE SAM linebacker. He can rush on 3rd downs as well! hes like marcus washington but more potential and a little bigger if im not mistaken. I would LOVE to grab William B from UCONN at the end of the first and then grab clint. THATS MY dream draft! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiefPowhatan17 Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Maualuga, the hardest hitter in the draft, but he has had some issues with fighting and assault, so I doubt that we go after him. But, he's a baller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alwaysaskin Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 I am not sold on trying to move Maulaluga to OLB, I just don't see any indication that he could learn the position in time to have an impact, I agree he has incredible talent, but I am not comfortable putting him on the outside, if we had a glaring need at MLB I'd be all for it, but not currently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmikeholliday Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 You don't have the number one rushing game for several weeks with an average run tackle. That alone should hold the arguement but Heyer deserves allot more credit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Janky Spanky Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 In my view we need to leave the draft with a starting RT and a starting OLB. The O-Line was a huge factor in our collapse, and I don't trust the Jansen/Heyer combo. Also, I don't like having Fincher/Blades/Thomas playing the OLB position. While not a long-term solution, I think we can keep the Daniels/Wynn combo for the season. Whether we trade down or just use our 1st and 3rd, I firmly believe we need to pick up a tackle and linebacker both whom can start right away. I do like several of the DE prospects, but I would only be comfortable selecting one of them if we traded down and picked up an extra 2nd or 3rd.

kevinklein Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Michael Oher. No questions asked. Even if he's gone, there's bound to be one of the big four left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks all for taking the time to vote. I limited the number of voting choices cause as we approach draft it seems that certain things are taking shape. Like Andre Smith will be picked up by Cincy, 49ers, or another surprise team. That Sanchez will be gone by 13. Orakpo too. E.Brown to Bills. We really need OT, DE, OLB so thats why I have those four. Oher might even be gone who knows really...? I am convinced we should take Oher if A.Smith doesn't fall. I think back to Vernon Gholston who blew us all away in combine and came to NFL and had to be moved to new position and barely saw the field the entire year. It could be very DISCOURAGING for REY to move to OLB. Yet, is it possible that we should take a OLB with our first pick (CUSHING or Another?) and a OT with our 3rd rounder...? Would that be better than the other way around??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvtbred Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 We do need another RT but it doesn't have to be really early. I believe this draft is deep in OL and could get a starter in the 2nd and maybe 3rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKM311 Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I hope we trade back. I want Ayers! Watching his vids, he sheds blocks extremely well, stays patient, explodes once he makes his decision. I think he is going to be a great pick in the mid to late first round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misterwookas Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 The way it looks, I think that we will take either Malaulga or Cushing at linebacker. Another player that I like is Aaron Curry the DE from Wake Forest. Brian Orakpo from Texas is like Curry in which he has the size and ability to play both end and outside linebacker. This versatility is what I think that the team will either take Curry or Orakpo. I have been high on Orakpo all spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
