Possible picks for #10

The Redskins have the 10th overall pick in April's draft. They can go a number of ways with this pick, having holes at nearly every position.

QB

1. Missouri's Blaine Gabbert is considered the top QB entering the draft. He has accuracy issues but has shown good decision-making, arm strength, and movement in the pocket. If he falls to 10, the Redskins will take a careful look.
2. Cam Newton (Auburn) impressed everyone with his workout for the media. On paper, he has everything you want, but his intangibles have been questioned. He does not fit Shanahan's system, but is still someone to pay attention to draft day.
3. Jake Locker is who everyone is talking about. The senior out of Washington has an incredible arm along with surprising athleticism. He has never thrown above 60% completion percentage, which is troubling. If a coach believes his accuracy can be fixed, then there is no reason not to take him. There have been rumors that Shanahan is very interested in Locker, but Shanahan has done little to show his targets.

WR

1. If A.J. Green of Georgia is still on the board, it will be a no brainer. He has all the talent to step in and become an elite receiver. It is highly unlikely that he will drop to this spot, but so was the case for Brian Orakpo.
2. Julio Jones (Alabama) has the size to be a top receiver, but his route running has been questioned. It may be a bit early for the Redskins to look at him, but they will certainly look.
3. Titus Young has come out of Boise State and is drawing comparisons to Desean Jackson. He impressed everyone at the Senior Bowl practices with his ability to go downfield and make the catch. His speed and concentration are invaluable, but teams question whether or not he can run all routes. Think of how Mike Wallace was--first he was simply a fast deep threat. Now Wallace is one of the top receivers in the league. At pick 10, Young would be a major stretch.

DE/OLB

1. Von Miller (Texas A&M) is considered the best outside linebacker in the draft. He has been compared to Clay Matthews and backed the comparisons up with a terrific Senior Bowl, single-handedly disrupting the North team's drives.
2. It is simple--without Orakpo, the Redskins' pass rush is nonexistent. The Redskins need another pass rushing linebacker to help of Orakpo. North Carolina's Robert Quinn is an exceptional pass rusher and is athletic enough to play linebacker. He dominated Castanzo, who is widely considered the top tackle in the draft.
3. Aldon Smith (Missouri) is a raw talent. He is a great athlete who needs to be coached up to the NFL level. He could go this early, but may even drop to the 2nd round. It all depends if the team thinks it can coach up such a raw player, and Shanahan has always shown full confidence in his staff.

Other possibilities here are CB and DL. Brown is likely to stay in D.C. and the 10th pick would be too early for an interior lineman.
