10 2010 NFL Draftees I Would Love To Have in Washington's Burgundy and Gold

Up for consideration, I give you quarterback Jevan Snead. He plays for that school in Mississippi, but not the crappy one. He's a pretty talented guy. He can throw the ball a country mile, and he has the agility to scramble and make plays with his feet (something I heard about Jason Campbell).

He already has big game experience and has a couple of huge wins on his resume. He's also had the privilege of playing for two football powerhouses, Texas and Ole Miss. He came to Texas with grand dreams of becoming the next Vince Young, albeit, the white version, but got stuck behind "I'm the greatest college player to never win a Heisman" Colt McCoy.

After feeling his services were no longer required (see Jason Campbell's 2009 offseason), Snead transferred to Ole Miss, where he thrived, leading the Rebels to an upset of Florida last year.

Some question his ability to play the QB position and say he's too inaccurate and too much of a run first QB, but with a running game that's only averaging about 65 yards per game, who say's that's a bad thing?

My second most humble submission is Tony Pike, aka Mr. Sleeper to Sneak Away with the Heisman. Pike quarterbacks the currently unbeaten Cincinnati Bearcats squad, now ranked inside the top ten.

Pike has several desirable qualities that would be appealing: arm strength to rival anyone in the NFL (see Jay Cutler), the youth and eagerness to learn (see Mark Sanchez), and imposing size (6'6" (see JaMarcus Russell...yikes)).

On the downside, Pike isn't that experienced (basically a one-year starter) and he is so big he's pretty immobile (see Todd Collins).

But like I said, Pike can chuck the heck out of the football. He may still be getting the hang of simple things like intermediate passes and playing every weekend, but the upside there is huge...like....Heath Shuler huge!

Ndamukong. No longer just a river in China, now starring as a massive presence in the stellar Nebraska Cornhuskers defense. Mr. Suh, as he goes by on most major television broadcasts, has been nothing short of spectacular this season, even earning Heisman talk.

Like I said, Suh is massive, like 6'4'' and 306 pounds massive. Toss in the fact that he runs like a linebacker, and I'm all but sold. Not to mention the coolest name in the 2010 draft.

Suh is undoubtedly the anchor of the Huskers defense that can be downright dominating when he's on his game. And he's been on his game enough the past two years to warrant No. 1 pick consideration.

Suh led Nebraska, AS A DEFENSIVE TACKLE, in tackles in 2008, with 76 of them. He also had seven sacks and get this...returned not one, but TWO interceptions for touchdowns. He's on pace for almost the exact same numbers this season, averaging about 6.5 tackles per game. He only has three sacks, but he has seven pass defenses (more of a cornerback number).

Imagine Suh lining up next to Albert Haynesworth. That's almost 700 pound of brute force. No running back is getting through that, and the two could set records for sacks by defensive tackles.

If I was trying to build the most dominating defense in the league (which you need when you only score nine points against the Rams) a D-line of Haynesworth, Brian Orakpo, Andre Carter, and Suh would get the job DONE!

Third name for Mr. Snyder is Mr. Pat Devlin. He's the guy on the right...the one who is NOT the starting quarterback for Penn State University. He IS, however, the starting quarterback from the University of Delaware...as in Joe Flacco Delaware.

If I wanted to make a splash as big as the Ravens did when they took Flacco, I would hedge my bets with Devlin, who they say has just as strong an arm as Flacco, but 10 times more mobility.

This season for the 3-2 Blue Hens, Devlin has completed 65.7 percent of his passes with 11 TDs and two interceptions. He also has four rushing scores.

I can't imagine a better fit for a team with a crappy offensive line that's falling apart faster than WaMu, than a mobile QB who can make plays with his feet, and also buy time to chuck it waaaaay down the field.

Who knew that transferring away from traditional powerhouse schools (Penn State and Pittsburgh) could get you so far.

Yes...this is a biased pick, because yes I am a Boise State fan. But so is Denver, after taking Ryan Clady in last year's draft. Clady was the best prospect to ever play on the smurf turf and he showed he could dominate D-linemen every Sunday last season, earning a Pro Bowl nod as a rookie.

Kyle Wilson could easily surpass Clady's stature as the best to play on the blue, and based on how his name is rising up draft boards, he could easily end up as a first-round guy. Why you ask?

Let's start with the obvious. Wilson plays a kick-butt corner. He has the speed to play off opposing wideouts and also to catch them, and the physicality to bump them at the line of attack, and also lay a vicious hit on any wideouts crossing his path.

Now on the the more obscure: No punt returner was as lethal as Wilson was in 2008, and while he hasn't quite gotten on track in 2009, he could be a dynamic player in the return game. He had a stretch last year where he scored on three returns in four games. Talk about a super-weapon.

Last time I checked, the best return man the Skins had was Santana Moss, and he's only allowed to return three or four punts per year. Aside from him, we have Antwan Randle-El, who doesn't appear to have the same burst that he did when he was running and gunning in Pittsburgh.

He's become more complacent now that he's a No. 2 receiver. That's right...I said it Antwan! (Now show me up and return one for a score this week)

Wilson would also fill the roll of No. 2 cornerback, opposite DeAngelo Hall, who is just about as lousy a mentor off the field, but a heck of one on the field.

With Wilson and Hall patrolling, and Landry at safety, the Skins could have Fred Smoot, if he sticks around, and Carlos Rogers, if he's still around, as the best depth in the league at the position.

You wanna talk about a real game-changer, talk about C.J. Spiller, the all-purpose player for Clemson. It's a wonder they don't line this kid up at linebacker and see if he can make some plays.

Spiller has 35 career TDs, 2700 rushing yards, almost 1100 receiving yards, and over 2100 return yards (punts and kicks). Clearly, he can run, catch, return and could probably pass the ball if you needed him to (Clemson should try that).

Spiller is the most explosive player in college football, and unlike Jahvid Best, maintains his explosiveness whether he's playing Southwestern Arkansas State or FSU.

Last time I looked, Clinton Portis was once again playing through multiple injuries, and Ladell Betts somehow still only gets three to five carries per game. Marcus Mason isn't the answer, nor is Anthony Aldridge.

Enter Spiller, the Redskins' next talented change-of-pace back who can run the ball to spell Portis, be the most reliable target the Skins have coming out of the backfield, and a terror in the return game (assuming they don't take Kyle Wilson).

Offensive linemen.....YAAAAAAAWWWWWNNN!

That's not directed at you Russell Okung, but at the Redskins multitude of over-aged, under-performing offensive protectors. Recent injuries to Randy Thomas and Chris Samuels have exposed the Redskins greatest weakness.

Fill-ins such as undrafted free agent Stephon Heyer (GO TERPS!!) and Buffalo Bill cast-off Mike Williams (is there a more common name in sports?) aren't the long-term solution.

Enter Okung. The Oklahoma State junior is a beast of a man, something required for the position. He checks in at a mean 6'5'' and 300 pounds. He has impressive quickness and run blocks and pass blocks with ferocious vigor.

He earned Big 12 All-Conference honors last year and is arguably the most talented offensive player in the conference, not to mention the one with the brightest future.

Okung led the Cowboys with 71 "pancake" blocks last year and made star runners out of Kendall Hunter and Keith Toston, making it the third consecutive year for the Cowboys atop the Big 12 rushing category.

I'm sick and tired of the days of Randy Thomas and Jon Jansen and Chris Samuels. Heck, Thomas, Jansen and Samuels are tired of it. You can't beat a dead horse forever, and you certainly can't expect two of them to create holes for Clinton Portis, and protect Jason Campbell's blindside.

I debated putting two offensive linemen back to back. I know how this could bore the most exciting of team owners.

So it doesn't necessarily look like Malcolm Kelly or Devin Thomas is going to be the game-changer the Skins expected when they spent two second-round picks on the big wideouts. Time for a change.

Brandon LaFell is a big, physical wide receiver who has been super productive at LSU. LaFell has Dwayne Bowe size at 6'3'' and 206 pounds, and he has been constantly compared to the Chiefs Pro Bowl receiver.

The Skins could use a big guy like LaFell to stretch the field, and a true No. 2 wideout to line up opposite Santana Moss. Eventually, LaFell could take over for Moss and be the team's No. 1 guy.

LaFell is especially at his best in big games. He has two TD catches over three bowl games, and will most certainly add to that this season. For his Tiger career, he has 145 receptions, over 2000 yards, and 19 scores.

Puuuhhhleeeease get me LaFell, or some other massive wideout who can be productive in the NFL!

Yes, I know he's a punter. I know that conventional wisdom says you shouldn't waste your time wasting draft picks on punters. I also know that the Redskins kicking (punting) game has been absolutely dreadful since oh...I don't know....Reggie Roby...more than 20 YEARS AGO!!!

Mr. Snyder thought Hunter Smith was the answer, and then he got injured, and who knows how long that is going to affect him.

PLEASE!!! Like....REALLY!!! Get us a guy who can kick the ball further than 35 yards while simultaneously keeping it in bounds.

If I have to watch Shaun Suisham pooch punt one more time I'm going to switch to the Joe Flacco Ravens.
