safest picks at 6??? Martin/Adams/Reiff/Glenn

might be higher than they should be taken, but ALL 4 will likely be solid NFL left tackles..I saw a short interview with Jon Jansen commenting on Reiff.. he said if he had returned for his senior year and worked on technique, he would have been every bit as good as Jake Long, and in the mix for the first overall pick, as Long was.

i think Reiff will be the next coming of Jim Lachey.. but any of the above 4 will be a very solid pick with very little risk

1. One big issue for Flynn is not just who offers him the most $$$ but moving to a team where he has a good chance to become the starter. He's not going to a another team with a franchise QB now, or a team that drafted a first round QB in the last two years.

Flynn doesn't meet the 26/27/60 rule. He has exactly 2 excellent NFL games with a Playoff level offense. Even if we picked him up we'd need to get a second round QB draft pick - would he still come here under those circumstances?

I would put the probability of pursuing Flynn at the lowest of our potential prospects -- which means he'll probably end up a Redskin, lol. But seriously, he doesn't fit Shanny's supposed want of an athletic QB and he certainly doesn't fit the Snyder owned Redskins as a big time splash to thrill the fan base. Flynn will go to Miami or he will re-sign with the Packers.

I think the whole advantage to going after flynn is 1)that it doesn't cost us picks and 2)we can rationalize taking one of these project qbs

Once again, why? I really do not understand this reasoning.
