Day Three Hopes and Dreams

Now it's Saturday. There is less than two hours before the final onslaught begins. The picks are going to be coming in faster, and the Redskins have two picks coming up relatively fast. I have no idea who is atop their draft board. Shanahan said that this year would be all about offense, and so far the offense has taken the first two picks. Do we go defense at all? Is there a RB left that they like better than Hightower? Turbin maybe? Would they be interested inany ILBs to be an eventual replacement for Fletcher at ILB?

Here is a re-post of some "name" players still available:

25. Lamar Miller, RB, Miami (FL)
37. Chris Polk, RB, Washington
44. Kirk Cousins, QB, Michigan State
56. Jared Crick, DE, Nebraska
57. Billy Winn, DE, Boise State
58. Orson Charles, TE, Georgia
63. Ben Jones, OC, Georgia
64. Brandon Boykin, CB, Georgia
67. George Iloka, FS, Boise State
72. Ron Brooks, CB, LSU
75. Josh Chapman, DT, Alabama
78. Alfonzo Dennard, CB, Nebraska
81. Markelle Martin, FS, Oklahoma State
84. James-Michael Johnson, ILB, Nevada
87. Brandon Washington, OG,Miami (FL)
91. Zebrie Sanders, OT, FSU
92. Bobby Massie, OT, Mississippi
93. Jarius Wright, WR, Arkansas
108. David Molk, OC, Michigan
109. Alameda Ta'amu, DT, Washington
110. Ladarius Green, TE, LSU
117. Audie Cole, ILB, North Carolina State
121. Robert Turbin, RB, Utah State
147. Tommy Streeter, WR, Miami (FL)

The Redskins might not be looking for an interior lineman, but Blake might be an interesting pick - continuity with RG3.

Turbin at RB interests me. Good power and speed. Would probably be a better blocker than most of the remaining RBs.

TE Ladarius Green is another name to look for. He is all speed and not much in size, so he would be a receiving weapon. I would rather skip TE and keep Cooley, but TE is being mentioned a lot on ESPN 980.

The position that I am hoping to see filled is ILB. They are probably looking for more of a "team captain" type of player at that position if the goal is to find a replacement for Fletcher. They could go with a college OLB and move him inside if they like what they see.

I don't think they'll go RB.
Lamar Miller is similar to Roy Helu, and that's not a bad thing, but it may be a bit redundant. I like him, though.

Turbin and Polk have a lot of durability concerns.
Turbin is more of a power back/specialist, so he could make sense.

Great list S.Taykor, I like all those guys. I didn't realize Crick was still available.

I see a rb but probably not in round 4, probably 5 or 6

Id like either Cole LBer. The NCST one or LATECH one.
Powerhouse like Moch in the middle would suit me fine.
JM Johnson has good production
Plenty of good ones left I like. Coastal Carolina CB along with Boykin.
