The Washington Redskins have made the biggest splash during the offseason with the hiring of H.C. Mike Shanahan and landing QB Donovan McNabb. Who would expect anything less from owner Daniel Snyder? Now the team must protect their new quarterback as well as address the running back situation that grows worse with each passing day. Clinton Portis, Willie Parker and Larry Johnson oh my! In the Crosshairs will break down a teams recent draft history and get a feel in the direction they might or should go in the upcoming 2010 NFL Draft.  Recent 1st Round Draft History: 2009: Brian Orakpo-DE-Texas 2008: No Pick 2007: LaRon Landry-S-LSU 2006: No Pick 2005: Carlos Rogers-CB-Auburn----Jason Campbell-QB-Auburn The Redskins hit on Brian Orakpo in last year's draft and he was an instant impact for the team's defense. LaRon Landry has developed into a productive safety and had 90 tackles on the season last... read more

The combine has ended, players are prepping for their Pro Days on their respected campuses, and the picture of the draft is starting to play out through free agency. Let's take a look at the new mock and see who has risen' and fallen' down the board. 1.) Detroit-Matthew Stafford, QB, Georgia-The Lions appear committed to taking a quarterback now that Jon Kitna is in Dallas and Dan Orlovsky is in Houston. They have cleared room for this pick and Stafford now becomes the clear cut favorite. While I think the Lions would be wise to go in another direction, such as offensive tackle, I can't see them going into the season with Drew Stanton as the only backup to Daunte Culpepper. 2.) St. Louis-Jason Smith, OT, Baylor-I have said it before in other mocks, Orlando Pace is nearing the end, and the offensive line is a major concern due to age and... read more

The 2009 NFL Draft is full of questions, what draft isn't, and many of these players will not be the answers teams are searching for. I'm sure we can all list our fair share of busts. Some of this year's questions are: Is Mark Sanchez a top QB? Why didn't Brandon Spikes declare? Is Michael Crabtree the real deal or just another big, slow receiver. ( Think J.J. Stokes, Mike Williams, Dwayne Jarrett, etc.) These are just a few of many questions as we head into the 2009 draft. 1.)  Detroit-Andre Smith, OT, Alabama-Smith is a once in a decade lineman, an Ogden, a Pace, a nice building block for a team in rebuilding mode. A good fit with a young back like Kevin Smith. Quarterback can wait another year or later in the draft, no one said rebuilding is pretty. 2.)  St. Louis-Eugene Monroe, OT, Virginia-Pace is near the end of... read more
