The 2009 NFL Draft is still over 2 months away, but it is never too early to speculate on what the Redskins will do. At 13, it may be a good spot to trade down unless your guy falls to you.
Hopefully they will target a DE, because we need some pass rush in the nations capital!
Potential candidates:
Aaron Maybin, DE, Penn State - An explosive 6'3" pass rusher who can make an impact.
Brian Orkapo, DT/DE, Texas - The anchor on the D-Line for the Longhorns. Is versatile and can play at tackle as well as DE.
Michael Oher, OT, Mississippi - Just a mauler on the O-Line. If the Redskins have doubts about Heyer and their depth at tackel, they could go this direction. I think Oher could start at RT from Day 1.
Tyson Jackson, DE, LSU - A tall and speedy pass rusher off the edge. He had a good year at LSU, but not a great one. Pick 13 may be too early. Could trade down later in the 1st and pick up an additional first day draft pick.
Brian Cushing, ILB, USC - This may be a stretch, because there are more pressing needs, but Cushing is a hard hitter would make an impact and provide depth at linebacker.
There is plenty of time for things to sort out. The combine is upcoming and will give everyone more information to sort through the draftees.
