We drafted one player. Our need is much greater than that. And we can't assume that player is a hit anyway considering our inability to draft.

Both our starting Gs are over 30 and in decline. So is our C. Our RT is the worst in the league. Our LT is decent, nothing more. And we don't have a backup on the roster worth their own weight.

That's crisis mode. Brought on because for years we couldn't do what you suggest. Find quality linemen later in the draft.

Who'd we pass on with our #40.

I'd only be pissed if we take Mallett here, but unlike earlier I won't change the channel and slam my laptop shut.

Trust me that sounds all too familiar to me. Hang in there though. This draft has a few interior lineman that could turn into solid starters. John Moffitt in particular is someone who fits your scheme very well and should be available when you pick.

Yeah, we're in the same boat. The Hogs in Washington and that mammoth Cowboys line of the 90s. We're a shell of our former self. Though Washington added one quality piece last year with Trent Williams and I think Dallas did the same this year with Tyron Smith.

The thing is, I'm not so sure that some of the lineman we've taken late in the past wouldn't have turned out better in a different situation.

We suck at developing lineman. Period.

It's like if they are selected after the 3rd round, they spend 30 minutes working with them and then turn them out to pasture to graze at the bottom of the depth chart.

A lot of the Hogs were taken in rounds that don't even exist anymore.

Redskins must have read "Jerry Jones Winning Draft Strategies: A Special Weekend in 2009"

To the best of my knowledge Vinny Cerrato isn't in the war room. He was responsible for the garbage we've went been cepting through in the draft.
