Re: Planet Mock Commentary.

The Washington Redskins have traded their 80th overall selection to Green Bay for the 96th overall selection and the 4th round selection that the Packers acquired in the Steelers trade.


We are not happy that we had to give up the 80th overall selection, but we understand that we have only a select few picks in the 2009 NFL Draft and would not have another pick until the 5th round if we had not made this trade. Overall we feel happy that we found a partner who was willing to trade with us and we'll regroup here and figure out who we're looking at for the 3rd and 4th round picks. We're indeed happy that we were able to acquire another selection in this years' draft and we'll look forward to seeing who is available and making more personnel decisions that are in the best interest of your Washington Redskins


Hello all, beloved, Green Bay Packer shareholders. We're really excited to announce this trade and all our selections in the 2009 NFL Draft to you. We're really happy with our two trades and our selections thus far. Brian Orakpo will give us a dynamic outside rusher and Fili Moala was the guy we were really looking at in the 2nd to provide us with a solid 34 DE and contain-big man. Now we're happy to announce our TWO 3rd round selections. We received the 96 overall pick in the 2009 NFL Draft from the Pittsburgh Steelers in our trade involving our original 2nd round selection and the 83rd selection...we were able to successfully use that pick as well as the 4th round selection we got in that trade to move back up to the 80th selection and select Jairus Byrd. In our 3rd round we have gone twice to the great program in Oregon to procure a solid offensive tackle who can play either side and we feel he can compete to start right away...although we will still be looking to bring back Mark Tauscher...We also were able to bring in a dynamic playmaking cornerback who we were really surprised was there at the 80th pick in Jairus Byrd. Byrd has good speed and very good quickness...he has great hands to make the interception and can also return kicks and punts. We're happy with our 3rd round and our whole draft thus far. We'll continue to work hard to make personnel decisions that will make all you shareholders happy and will work out best for the organization. Thank you.

Re: Planet Mock Commentary.

Alex Mack, Darius Butler and Kraig Urbik?

This mock draft is rigged...

Re: Planet Mock Commentary.

Every team in our division seems to be improving themselves:

Baltimore: Darrius Heyward-Bey and Connor Barwin

Cincy: Eugene Monroe and Eric Wood (instead of Levi Jones and Eric Ghiaciuc)

Cleveland: Aaron Curry, Donald Brown, and Jarron Gilbert

Pittsburgh: Alex Mack, Darius Butler, and Kraig Urbik

Re: Planet Mock Commentary.

LT - Max Starks
LG - Chris Kemoeatu
C - Alex Mack
RG - Kraig Urbik
RT - Willie Colon

Someone is smoking something if they think 2 rookies would start for this team.......

NO WAY!.

And Urbik is a long way off in playing anything in the NFL. Mack might be a different story, but Mack would probably play RG if anywhere. Certainly wouldn't beat out Hartwig in 2009.....

Let's be realistic.

Seriously? Urbik has a long way to go? I dont agree. I dont mean to go off here, but people who dont like Urbik I would really like to stand up and substantiate their claims against him. He was the best offensive lineman on a college OL that has repeatedly been a beacon of talent for the NFL...and has produced such notable NFL offensive linemen as Joe Thomas, the best OT in the NFL right now; Casey Rabach, long time reliable NFL center; and Mark Tauscher, a dominant cog for a long time for the Green Bay Packers. Their players are smart, agile, and know how to play the game. Urbik is no different. He's stout at 6'5 328 lbs...but is also one of the more agile OL in this draft class. He can pull and trap with the best of the offensive linemen in this years' draft...he's got versatility as he's played OG and OT...and has the strength to play either RG, LG, or RT in the NFL. He has active feet in pass protection and has a hand punch that makes him almost a better RT than interior lineman due to his ability to stave off the bull rush. Furthermore, like other Wisconsin linemen of the past he knows the game...and is intelligent...he can read the blitzes and the zone reads required in the zone scheme and dominates in those situations. How the heck is that not worth a 3rd round pick? He might make a better RT than Colon.

Nick Mangold came right in and started at center with no problem for the Jets. Mack is probably the best center prospect since Mangold. Maybe not as good as Mangold but definitely close behind skill wise.

Urbik might take some time but I actually think at RG he'll be able to start. After Duke Robinson, he's probably the most ready to step in and play guard right away in the NFL...

Urbik...out performed Robinson at the combine not only in the individual events but also the lineman drills. Robinson might be stronger at the point of attack, but his lateral movement is going to be hard on him if he's going to play LG at the professional level.

Re: Planet Mock Commentary.

1st of all, as the old saying goes.... Life is like a bunch of cherries.....

You never know how any of these guys are going to perfrom in the NFL, now do we? We're only guessing.....

Sure, maybe he will be a proven guard in this league and then again... maybe not...

I'm just getting at that this is the defending SB champions we're talking about here, and not the Lions or Jets. Our OL is set for next year as we have everyone back from last year. Like it or not, they are the OL of the SB champions. And the more these guys play together the better off we'll be and the better they get. We don't need 2 new rookies along the starting OL- just won't happen.....I could see Mack competing with Stapleton at RG, however. OR Unger.

And for the record, I'll take Jason Capizzi over any of these rooks at this point in time. Or Parquet for that matter.... Why? Because they already have NFL experience........

Just my 2 Cents worth....

So you dont like the pick of a guy who has been dominant at his position and has immense talent...because he's not a seasoned NFL veteran? Or a veteran of THIS OL?

Re: Planet Mock Commentary.

Urbik and Mack would be great additions to this team! We need serious depth along the offensive line. I agree with the continuity thing but heck man we need some actual talent up front as well. I think Mack is an instant upgrade at RG and would move to center after this year. Stapleton is decent but he regressed as the season went along. I actually wouldn't mind seeing CK move from LG to RG because I think his skill set fits that position but I don't think that will happen. Urbik would add solid depth immediately to the interior of the OL and could develop with Hills and could form one side of the OL eventually. If the Steelers were able to add those players in the 1st and 3rd rounds I would be ecstatic. With Butler in the 2nd round they could replenish the CB position and add a legitmate threat to Gay at one corner because I don't want that guy going to camp knowing he already has a position won. He needs to earn it! That draft would frickin ROCK!

Re: Planet Mock Commentary.

To put it another way- NO. Unless you only draft the guy from Wisconsin later on in the 3rd or 4th round.

Look at Troy's draft so far. We're going into the 4th round and no DL. I like the CB pick, but frankly, I would've liked to have seen Brace picked at 32. Then leave the other picks as they are and I'd be happy. No way 2 OL. We have capable OL on this team already. They are young and will allow for competition for years to come. We have other needs- For example- NG, DE, and S.


Remember- the entire starting OL is back for 2009. Along with Essex, Hills, Capizzi, and Paquet. 1 more in the draft is sufficient.

lol great philosophy..so I take it you were happy when the Steelers put handcuffs on LaMarr Woodley for Clark Haggans then right?

We just added the best Guard in the draft in the 3rd round (yes over that fat lazy slob Duke Robinson who will end up like Simmons), and you're talking about Capizzi and Parquet lol..no offense, but I'm glad I didn't leave the Steelers in your control.
