for the Redskins with BPA meeting a strong need at a psoition where the risk of bust is lower than other positions.

The tough choice would have been if Okung had gone to the Lions.

The Redskins are faced with either a QB or DL and neither are good fits in 2010 in my view unless Suh can play DE in a 3-4 (what do you think Free can he?) or a lower ranked OT in Bulaga/Davis.

As I could not trade down I would have gone with Bulaga as are good friends on HH are all screaming for an OT in round one even if it is a little bit of a reach.

can some of the no voters comment why?

Is it because you think it is a bad pick or

It is a good pick but you don’t want the Redskins to make a good pick.

lotta no’s.

Maybe its Giants fans hoping they don’t solidify that line?

I think they’ll grab OL regardless. Whether its Okung if he’s there, or Bulaga or a surprise in Trent Williams.

Check that, I hope its Trent Williams. That man is NOT a LT, and if the Skins draft him to be their LT I’d love it, as I’m sure Osi Kiwi and Tuck (and Derrick Morgan? Brandon Graham?) would too.

Jason Campbell is going to become a good NFL QB. Mark my words. The guy’s got talent, but OL was never sexy enough for Danny Boy to pay any attention to, so Campbell spent half his time on his back. This is the right pick.

So they should draft an offensive tackle in the first round and then try to snag another quarterback later on (Tebow?) Good pick from both a need and a value standpoint.

After watching the Giants second game against the Redskins, and after my numerous cheers and feelings of joy from watching Campbell get lit up, I actually felt a teeny bit bad for the guy. He got ravaged by our D-line! The skins NEED an elite OT, and if they don’t grab one in the 1st, whichever rookie QB they draft will get Mathew Stafford-ed and will end up being damaged goods. If the Giants had their O-line, everyone on here would have voted yes to taking Okung. keep it 100!

You never pass up a potential 10-15 yr dominant LT, Shannahan gets his ryan clady all over again

I voted no. IMO Shanahan takes Clausen to compete this year for the starting job.Shanahan has stated he can find good o-linemen in any round in the draft. Snyder and Shanahan must be salavating on the thought of Jimmy Clausen pro ready QB some one that Shanahan thinks he can mold into the next John Elway.

I think posting comments in reverse order (newer first) would make it easier to follow for mobile followers.
Btw: your pick for the skins make sense, gfan.

but not the one they will make. this pick will be a quarterback, whether its sam bradford or jimmy clausen. shanahan drafted cutler a few years back so he could mold his own franchise qb and i think hes going to want to do the same thing in washington. a LT at 4 makes perfect sense, but i see the redskins making the pick that doesnt make perfect sense.

Rex Grossman…

Unless Campbell is being traded that suggests Clausen is not an option at 4.

The Lions should not pass on Okung. The fact that they did makes this a no brainer pick.

Shanahan is a QB guy, and he sees something in Campbell. I think we all have seen flashes from this kid. He has been in, what, 4 different sytems and coordinators already in a few years? He is perfectly serviceable while the teams gets better around him. Mike S is not on a short leash/win now directive. He’s gonna build with longevity in mind, therefore Left Tackle.

Drafting Okung pays dividends, right away. Clausen would take a while. There are a couple QB’s worth looking at in the second or third round and next year Locker willl be hitting the draft and he may be better than anything available this year.

This is the head and shoulders best tackle in the draft and the Skins are lucky he’s available at this spot.
