    Since they had a pretty poor offensive line last year (mainly due to injuries), and with the retirement of LT Chris Samuels, they should address the offensive line first. They might draft a quarterback, but I don't think the dropoff from Bradford/Clausen to a LeFevour/McCoy is all that great, and LeFevour or McCoy should be available in the 2nd round, so that would be something that I would address later if I were the Redskins. Besides, it really wouldn't matter which quarterback they drafted if they can't protect him anyway. So, again, they should address the line first, either Okung, Campbell, or Davis.

    The top priority has to be the offensive line. Even if Jimmy Clausen and Sam Bradford were great prospects, instead of just decent ones in a weak QB class, I wouldn't want them behind that pathetic excuse for an offensive line.

    If Russell Okung isn't available I'd try to trade back to 7 to get Bruce Campbell before the Raiders can, and if that doesn't work try to get some combination of 2 or more of the second tier linemen like Anthony Davis, Charles Brown, Maurkice Pouncey, Trent Williams, Bryan Bulaga and Mike Iupati.

    And for the record Jimmy Clausen is by far the best QB in this class. Some people get turned off by the attitude and the fact that he played for Notre Dame, but if you turn on the tape and just watch him play its obvious that he's the best QB in this class. His arm is strong to all levels of the field and he has phenomenal accuracy and ball placement.

    Bradford is accurate and has good zip within 20 yards, but outside of that his arm strength isn't on the same level as Clausen's, his accuracy isn't much better and Oklahoma's offense wasn't as pro style.

    T - Samuels is done....this is a glaring hole, if they dont address this in the first pick they will in the 2nd....Campbell needs protection and they need to re-establish a running game

    RB - Portis is very injury prone...getting older and the concussion issue last year was NOT good

    QB - Take a shot on a later round guy (Like Lefevour 3-4th round) to possibly groom behind Campbell so he has some sort of competition to keep his job in '11

    I feel the Defense could always be addressed for depth, but they have a very underrated group...possibly add another Pass rusher....it wouldnt hurt

    @ First answerer....NONE of those guys will be available to the skins.....nice CREATIVE mock draft....

    Targets: R.Okung T / A.Davis T / R.Matthews RB / L.Blount RB / C.McCoy QB / D.LeFevour QB

    1st- LT Russell Okung, the O-Line is the reason why Campbell isn't doing so great.

    2nd- FS Taylor Mays

    3rd- WR Jacoby Ford (great on special teams and good hands, faster player in this years draft)
