Offensive Linemen that are probably on the Redskins' Draft Boards

Let me start off by saying that I think it is unlikely that the Redskins do pick a Right Tackle in the early rounds of the draft unless they absolutely fall in a love with one of their prospects. However, if there is nobody else available worthy of a 2nd round pick (which I think there will be) then the Redskins could pick a Right Tackle. It all depends on who else is available by the time they pick in the 2nd round. There are some very nice looking prospects at Right Tackle in the 2nd this year and I can't say I would be upset if they did end up picking up a Right Tackle. After what happened to RG3 this year the Redskins are going to do everything in their power to help protect their franchise Quarterback. The only position on the O-Line that could use an upgrade is Right Tackle so maybe they will address that where we don't expect it. Lets take a look at some of the guys that have a chance to be on the team next year.

Lane Johnson - Oklahoma - 6'6" - 303 lbs. - In Johnson's Senior year he played 11 games starting at Left Tackle but in his Junior year he started 12 of 13 games at Right Tackle. So he can play either position. Obviously we would be using our other Oklahoma star Trent Williams to start at Left Tackle. Johnson hasn't always played on the Offensive Line. He actually played Tight End at the beginning of his Sophomore season and then was switched to Defensive End. He even played Quarterback at Kilgore College before transferring to Oklahoma. He seems like a pretty versatile player just like our very own one-man-gang Lorenzo Alexander. Johnson would be a nice pick-up and could really help protect RG3.

Oday Aboushi - Virginia - 6'6" - 310 lbs. - Aboushi has great size and could be a great addition to the Offensive Line. I have a feeling that he could come right in and play at a high level. He wouldn't have to travel far to play with the Washington Redskins either. Aboushi was an early selection to go to the Senior Bowl which means he is playing at the highest level at his position. I wouldn't mind having a guy like this on our team. He also played defense in High School and recorded 70 tackles and 7 sacks. So if needed in an emergency, he could play on defense. I have even seen some people have the Redskins taking Aboushi in the 2nd round. It isn't likely but they just might do it. It wouldn't be the first time the Redskins have done something we weren't expecting. Remember when we drafted Kirk Cousins?

Ricky Wagner - Wisconsin - 6'6" - 320 lbs. - Another prospect with good size and talent. In his Junior season Wagner started every game at Left Tackle but he is listed as a Right Tackle. He can play either Left Tackle or Right Tackle but we will be using him as a Right Tackle if we draft him. I think he is another guy that can come in and contribute right away.

In my opinion there will be guys at other positions available when we draft. We will most likely be looking for Cornerbacks and Safeties. We are lucky because the pool goes pretty deep for defensive backs this year. If all of them are taken, however, then we just might end up drafting a Right Tackle in the 2nd round.
