With the current Free Agent signings I am almost certain that the #13 pick will be a LB/DE.  I'm sure we all know whom I am refering to.

I wouldn't be upset with a LB, but I am hoping for one of the top tackles myself.

I agree with emonroe. We need help on the right side of the o-line. A big tackle or guard would help, OR we should try to increase depth at DE. Then again, with LB depth being thin and the LBs that are available, I woiuldn't be surprised if we nabbed an LB at #13.

Honestly if there were a quality K in the first round and the Skins took him I could see doing that.  Our new D should leave us some short fields leaving plenty of chances for a dead on Kicker.

There must be someone better than Shaun Suisham out there sursly?

Maybe even get an undrafted player?  Im sure we are looking at all ways to improve and if Shaun Suisham is the starting kicker next season then i will be surprised.

If Brian Orakapo is still there at 13 we need to get him but if he is not I think going for an OL would not be a bad choice either.

Id like to see us get Orakapo if possible, can you imagine the Carnage that would cause to the opposing offenses  If Orakapo is added to our D  Grin

Id like us to focus then on a tackle and maybe another addition (at least) on the O line, we need depth there asap either through the Draft or even through FA
(I dont know if we can afford any more buys through FA tho? but never say never with Danny!)

Orakapo has moved up in the draft after his performance at the combines.  I'd love to have him, but I wouldn't mind taking the tackle Oher here, either, if he's still available.  If not, you could definitely go linebacker here.  I really think we need to keep addressing that offensive line first.

If we get an LB I hope it's Ray Maualuga! That guy IMO is going to be a star!

USC has 3 decent LB's in the draft. I would rank Maualuga as the best of the three. But if by some small miracle Orakapo is still there at 13 we have to take him.

Penn State's Maybin would be my choice over Orakpo.  I just feel Orakpo will have an issue with injuries.  Nothing really to base that on other than a gut feeling...

Everette Brown (FSU) wouldn't be a bad choice either IMO...

I saw Orakpo on ESPN working out and they also showed a lot of clips at Texas. Man he looks good. I think he is going to be a star in the NFL.

Orakpo is a Beast! Simple as that  Grin 

I dont think he will fall to us at #13 though, mores the pity.
