ESPN: Oher makes four top-10 OTs ( McShay's Latest Mock Draft) M.E.T.

[return2glory]

This is a scenario that I would hate the most...I rather reach on one of USC linebackers if it came dowm to this...

http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/draft...ory?id=4085612

1. Detroit Lions (Record: 0-16): Matthew Stafford, QB, Georgia

Top three needs: QB, LOT, DE

Stafford is the very clear choice for Detroit. Among the three players the Lions have said they are negotiating with, Stafford is at the top, Jason Smith would be the next choice if negotiations with Stafford break down, and Curry is a long shot. The Lions definitely want a deal in place with the top pick before the draft, and they definitely hope it's with Stafford.

2. St. Louis Rams (2-14): Jason Smith, OT, Baylor

Top three needs: OT, WR, MLB

Smith has the athleticism and tenacity of a premiere starting left tackle, which is priority No. 1 for St. Louis after it parted ways with Orlando Pace during the offseason. If Smith is on the board, it's hard to imagine the Rams going in any other direction.

3. Kansas City Chiefs (2-14): Aaron Curry, LB, Wake Forest

Top three needs: Rush LB, DT, 3-4 DL

Here's where it starts to get interesting. This pick is suddenly much more valuable given the fact that Sanchez is projected to come off the board at No. 4, but it remains to be seen whether any team will pay the huge price it would take to get ahead of Seattle. Curry is without question the best available player, but does he fit what the Chiefs are looking to do defensively as they move to a 3-4 look? I think Curry is just as valuable inside in a 3-4 as he is outside in a 4-3, but the one thing they don't get for certain is an impact pass-rusher off the edge. I think Kansas City goes with Curry, but if the Chiefs go in a different direction it will likely be OT Eugene Monroe.

If Orakpo is there at #11 we will trade up for him.

[Truant]

Hopefully someone wants to move up for Wells. Not really a fan of this. Better than losing picks for a player who won't play this year.

I actually don't mind Maybin as much as most, but it'd be a kinda sad Saturday.

[Dah-Dee]

Maybin scares me; is he going to turn into Dwight Freeney, or be a total bust?

Edit: Also seems like more and more mocks I see have Maybin going to SF at #10, so we may not have the chance to roll the dice on him.

Don't reach---trade down--even if we get no where near the chart value. They'll all be there at #19 or 20.

[return2glory]

Obviousley, if things go in that order and we can trade down we will. However, my statement was based on if we get no value offers for trading down.

[CRobi21]

If it came to that I'd rather trade down and grab more picks.

I don't think Maybin is worth the #13.

I agreee, with an extra E. Grab the 2nd or extra 3rd that the team needs.

[return2glory]

Many of you are failing to realize that it is not a guarantee that someone will offer us a good package for moving back...

[AAARedskin]

Rey Maleluga from USC would be a much better value at #13 given this scenario.....he's another Brian Urlacher and Junior Seay type who can start at linebacker for 10+ years.....

[MWCREDSKINS]

Maybin worries me a little because he's a "tweener" in the mold of Joey Porter better for a 3-4. But he can rush the passer, Orakpo is still best for the Redskins

[Coolio47]

If Orakpo is there at #11 we will trade up for him.

Agreed.

[That Redskins Fan]

trade up to get the rack

McShay: A new seven-round mock (04.21.09)

Round 1

13. Washington Redskins (8-8): Aaron Maybin, DE, Penn State

Top three needs: DE, ROT, strong side LB

There are three angles with the Redskins and this pick. One, if Sanchez falls, they take him. Two, they could mortgage their future and send draft picks to move up to take Sanchez. I'm not convinced they'll do it, but it certainly wouldn't be against owner Dan Snyder's style. Third, assuming Sanchez is gone, they go either with an offensive tackle or a defensive end. In this case, Maybin is the best value on the board between those two positions and his quickness and agility off the edge would give the Redskins versatility at the position opposite Andre Carter.

Round 3

16. (80) Washington Redskins Troy Kropog OT Tulane

Round 5

14. (150) Washington Redskins Dannell Ellerbe SLB Georgia

Round 6

13. (186) Washington Redskins Matt Slauson OG Nebraska

Round 7

34. (243) Washington Redskins (compensatory) Graham Harrell QB Texas Tech

[ucfSKINS]

Really? Maybin? I don't know about you, but I can't WAIT til late next Sunday night when the mock draft-a-thon is over with. Sheeeeeesh.

[rd421]

If Orakpo is there at #11 we will trade up for him.

That would be great!

[Laxpunk2006]

I wouldn't mind those picks other than Harrell. Colt Brennan clone.

Maybin isn't my guy, but I wouldn't hate it.

[SkinsTillIDie]

If we can't get one of the big-four offensive tackles, Orakpo, or Sanchez, I'd imagine that we would do everything we can to trade down, even if we lost potential total "value." I think in this situation, the ideal draft day would be to move down from 13 to around 20 and pick up an extra 3rd and 5th round pick, and then move down from 20 to 28 or so and pick up another 3rd round pick. Hedge our bets on multiple opportunities.

[That Redskins Fan]

Dannell Ellerbe hmm he does have some issues but he does have talent

and only one tackle.. and no to harrell please god no

[SkinzFan007]

we dont need an undersized RDE project at #13 that can't play against the run!!!

[rdavis2005]

Orakpo is not worth trading up for especially seeing that we don't have hardly any picks to begin with. At this point I would trade back even if we don't get chart value. Maybin is definitely not worth pick 13.

[Veretax]

Does he have any Kickers or punters getting drafted? Specifically Pat McAfee?

[bushwack]

I wouldn't mind those picks other than Harrell. Colt Brennan clone.

Maybin isn't my guy, but I wouldn't hate it.

I wouldn't say Harrell is a Brennan clone, because Harrell's arm makes Brennan's arm look like John Elway. Harrell's arm strength is absolutely pathetic.

[generals01]

Maybin seems awful for our scheme at DE. I shudder to think of him and Carter lining up together when its not an obvious passing or rushing down. They'll get run over. If this was the situation, I'd pick up Ayers who is closer to an every down DE than Maybin. Not to mention Mayock thinks in 3 years Ayers will be the best defensive player from this draft.

[santana_4_prez]

LOL @ Harrell...I'll put $500 on it says we don't draft him.
