ON THE CLOCK-WASHINGTON REDSKINS


Dr. Donovan

With the 13th pick in the 2009 NFL Draft, the Washington Redskins select………

The Redskins spent their off-season doing what they do best....spending money. If I was a fan of this team I would be stuck in a glass case of emotion. The Redskins do what every fan wishes their team would do every year in free-agency but then can’t perform during the season. It will be interesting to see Owner Daniel Snyder light up like a little boy on X-Mas morning when the un-capped year comes around.

The Redskins have a ton of talent on this team. Their offense is good enough to keep up with the likes of the Giants, Eagles and Cowboys but it will depend on the steady improvement of QB Jason Campbell. This year look for the Redskins to shore up the offensive line, defensive line and grab a couple linebackers.

My two top choices for the Redskins in the first round would be either LB/DE Aaron Maybin from Penn State or OT Micheal Oher from Ole Miss. I like the Redskins to look for a DE or a LB with this pick because their defense has been suspect the past few years. Maybin fits this mold because he is a versatile player who can be plugged into the DE or LB position. Also look for the Skins to look at LB Brian Cushing from USC.

If the Redskins are going to keep up with the rest of the NFC East, they need to continue to get young and fast on defense. Getting these high-priced stars that are virtually over-the-hill is not going to do the trick. It may put fans in the seats but so does winning. Daniel Snyder needs to get a clue and realize that what he’s doing is obviously not working. They have the talent and with a few more pieces, along with a consistent QB, the Redskins could be a surprise team in that division next year.

With the 12th pick in the 2009 NFL Draft, the Denver Broncos select………
