2013 NFL draft- First Look

[AubieTom]

Just for fun, our first look at who the Redskins might be looking at in the 2013 NFL draft. Picks projected at draftsite.com were used as a guide of who might be available in each round.

DISCUSS THIS IN OUR REDSKINS FAN FORUM!

1st Round- To St. Louis (Robert Griffin III)

2nd Round- Robert Lester FS Alabama 6'2" 207

3rd Round- Brennan Williams RT North Carolina 6'7" 315

4th Round- Nigel Malone CB Kansas State 5'10" 180

5th Round- Josh Johnson CB Purdue 5'11" 195

5th Round- Tobias Smith G Mississippi State 6'3" 305

6th Round- Dave Kruger NT Utah 6'5" 290

7th Round- Mario Benavides C Louisville 6'4" 305


What do the Redskins need? Any players you have been following you would like to see in Burgundy and Gold next season?

[BamaSkins]

All i can say is that the 7th round pick of Mario Benavides would be the most epic pick of all time! Well just for me! lol.

i would immediately go out and buy this guys jersey and this is no joke! We have the same last name!

[BamaSkins]

i do not think C Mario would be around in the 7th. Think he goes more around the 5th.

As a Bama fan and a Skins fan i would not want Lester here. To me he has regressed quite a bit. Would prefer Shawn Williams from UGA over Lester. But i think i would go CB with our 2nd rounder like Blidi Wreh-Wilson or Terry Hawthorne if available. If not then i may lean to a OG in the 2nd.

I thought I read somewhere thht during the Bye Week, Shanny was either at Washington or Washington State game. If true, he was scouting someone. Just like he did last year when he visited Florida Atlantic. We all know how that turned out.

First, welcome to DCPSR!! . . . and i don't mind the draft picks here, there is no RT . . . and IMO, since CB and RT are more expensive and harder to find in the draft than FS my first 2 picks would be a CB and RT, in either order, depending on who is available!!

I would love to get rhodes in the 2nd round. To me that would be one heck of a steal. i would be really happy with this draft to tell you the truth.

Edit. I would agree a RT is definitely needed tho. i would hope that would be addressed in FA.

Thanks for the "welcome" I've been around for a while, but I mostly just read. I think, if I remember correctly, the last time I posted was before a site upgrade. Probably about some off-season stuff.

Anyway, I'd love for us to pick up some secondary help in FA. Someone like Jairus Byrd would be great. With Meriweather
healthy, I think we'd be fine there. Depth, as always, would be welcomed. It would also be super cool if we could finagle a young, quality RT in FA as well. I doubt we'll go crazy, I think those days are behind us, but I don't think we really need to. Keep the good guys we have, release some expensive contracts or restructure, and fill in the gaps. Secondary and O-Line. Any other upgrades we add will just be icing on the cake.

I really hope that Minnifield works out. I was surprised that we didn't draft him, but he slipped and I think we got a gift. Not to mention all the other players we have on IR/PUP/whatever. Redskins.com lists 12. We get them back and we'll be in business.... if they can stay healthy.

All that said, aside from the obvious needs. I'd like us to add a young, talented receiver to work along side Garcon and grow with Griff and Morris. I know Garcon is only 26, but it'd be nice to have 2 of him

my wish list:
1 - CB (or 2) ... (or 3) :-D
2 - RT
3 - S (SS & FS) compete for starting job
4 - OLB (for quality deapth)
5 - WR (to grow with our other young guys
6 - O-line deapth across the board
OG seems set and we have tons of depth in my opinion, but Tackle and center scare me a bit.
each week, hearing that Trent may not go or didn't practice weighs on my mind.
7 - more defense.
maybe End could use depth?
maybe we could use a better more "natural" nose?
something to get more pressure.

i remember you now . . . well welcome back to the land of the posting . . . again!! . . .

i agree with secondary help in FA, especially FS as i think out of our positions of need, FS is the cheapest on the free agent market . . . and would LOVE Jarius Byrd!! He is a ball hawk for sure, only knock on him is he is not the fastest, but he does have great instincts . . .

CB's and Tackles are very pricey in FA, so i'd prefer we use the draft to help out here, unless we can find someone at a discount that just wants to be RGIII's RT!!

order of priority IMO:

CB
FS
RT
NT

Wasn't Shanny in Washington or Washington State during the bye week? Thought i read that. Just like he was in Florida Atlantic last year. Gotta be a player he is scouting.
