Redskins Free Agency Moves Could Affect Chiefs Draft Plans

The Washington Redskins opened free agency and shocked the entire NFL world.

They did not pursue every high-priced free agent and offer them a contract that will cripple them in the future.

I know, I know. Shocking.

But the Redskins are still checking out a few players and, interestingly, two of them are offensive tackles. Long-time Packers OT Chad Clifton and former Jaguars OT Tony Pashos are expected to visit the 'Skins, according to reports.

This brings up an interesting question that could have a major affect on the Chiefs: Are the Redskins addressing their offensive tackles before the draft and passing on Russell Okung if he's available?

This is definitely a little early to be addressing this but it's interesting nonetheless.

If you're an Okung fan, then you better hope the Redskins are grabbing their offensive tackles in free agency.

man

I pray we don’t draft Okung. Berry should be the pick dammit.

Looks Detroit might take Okung now that they’ve addressed def tackle in free agency

by DCChiefsfan on Mar 5, 2010 10:12 AM CST up reply actions  

Yep

I believe that Detroit will be taking a LT to protect Stafford

Even with Berry there

Pioli has shown that he won’t necessarily choose the most popular player on the board.

I don't know...

If the Redskins don’t pick a QB in FA they surely need to in the draft and that’ll leave either Okung, Berry or perhaps McCoy there for us IF St Louis picks up Bradford which is also a big if.

by JohnnyBgood on Mar 5, 2010 12:07 PM CST up reply actions  

Doesn't mean the redskins still possibly

can’t go QB, any way this shakes out if Bradford goes number 1 we get berry. Or if one of the 2 DT’s falls to washington they may want to pair them up with Haynesworth, good lock running on them.

SUH will be a Chief

My bold prediction and I think our best chance at moving down in the 1st. Bret Favre retires, Tavarris Jackson is not retained or leaves and the Vikings trade up, with our beloved Chiefs, for Jimmy Claussen.

WRITE IT DOWN!

I really think Tampa takes Berry

My bold prediction and I think our best chance at moving down in the 1st. Bret Favre retires, Tavarris Jackson is not retained or leaves and the Vikings trade up, with our beloved Chiefs, for Jimmy Claussen.

Berry just seems like the kind of player Tampa would fall in love with....

…but I guess this isn’t the old Tampa Bay Bucs anymore.

Warren Sapp

They need that Warren Sapp player…. McCoy or Suh. They have decent Safties and good corners.

Man crush on Eric Berry.

by SwimCoach on Mar 5, 2010 10:37 AM CST up reply actions  

That doesn't mean they make the right decision.

Example: Josh Freeman

My bold prediction and I think our best chance at moving down in the 1st. Bret Favre retires, Tavarris Jackson is not retained or leaves and the Vikings trade up, with our beloved Chiefs, for Jimmy Claussen.

We all knew that FA would muddy the Draft

This is why picking your favorite guys weeks before the draft, are moot.
I just get in the wait & see mode. No stress that way.

Scott Pioli's star will shine in 2010.
Win or lose, the Chiefs scare the bejesus of all opponents in 2010

Horse face Shanahan is still

screwing things up even though he is in another conference and almost as far east as you can get.

Yup.

That goes double for AJ and the rest of the Dolts, they just need to go ahead and ooze their way out of Whale’s Vagina, California.

by Archyrr on Mar 5, 2010 10:47 AM CST up reply actions  

And When You Say AJ...

I assume you’re talking about the Ass Jockey in San Diego…

Things to get the Chiefs back on the winning side of football:

1. Haley resign as offensive coordinator or do the following;
a. Feed JC more
b. Take the cuffs off of Cassel and let him air it out
2. Fire Clancy "Calls" Playslikeass

by kcchiefsfan72 on Mar 5, 2010 11:29 AM CST up reply actions  

Bingo.

Perhaps maybe a rockslide in Denver and then we’re set.

by Archyrr on Mar 5, 2010 11:33 AM CST up reply actions  

The OT’s the Redskins are looking at stink and are old. They still should be drafting the best LT in the draft. I hope 1, maybe 2 teams draft a LT before us, so we can look to players we actually need.

by dablueguy on Mar 5, 2010 10:31 AM CST reply actions  

i have huge misgivings

about taking a safety that high, unless you’re a pretty set team already and that is the obvious position to upgrade. For a Team like us, i believe in building from the core out. That meats taking an OT or NT

by SillyHatDay on Mar 5, 2010 10:44 AM CST reply actions  

We don't need an OT.

I cant see either of these 2 vet tackles being their solution for LT.

Clifton is on his last legs and Pashos has been a RT for a number of years now. I’d say Okung is still safely in play.

Branden Albert is our &#@%ing left tackle

and will be in 2010, 2011, and hopefully many years after those.

Ryan Succop will be the kicker for the AFC in the 2011 Pro Bowl
