There are plenty of quality backs left that we don't have to force it in round 4, but I thik Franklin is easily the top guy left followed by Stepfan Taylor, Ellington.

Im secretly rooting for Latavious Murray later though.

I like Ellington and think he's a bit underrated.
 
Ellington or Franklin would be nice. Hell, I wouldn't mind taking a flyer on Marcus Lattimore if he checks out.

This draft is very deep with potential, today should get exciting
 
I would view Barrett Jones or Khaseem Greene as a Chris Canty/Marion Barber level 4th round steal.

Guys who are going to be starting caliber players early in their careers.

Get it done.

Broaddus already said he's not on the board.

No, not me.

I think Frederick's best position is center. Barrett Jones can move much better. He'd be my guard.

Couple that with Frederick being this super smart guy, and he has all the tools you'd want at C.

Good.

I like the player but I don't want to spend another draft pick on a player that is going to contribute little to none in the 2013 season.

Frederick is power and Jones is a technician. I'd much rather have them flipped.

I'd much rather have my anchor be in the middle. Frederick is the smarter player too.

It plays to both of their strengths to do it my way. Frederick will be better at making the calls. As the better player overall, too, he can help and improve the guys on either side of him. You don't expose his weakness in pulling.

Barrett Jones is not a road grader at guard, so I grant you that, and that would be something you'd like, but he does nothing better than Frederick at center. And he does move better than Frederick at guard.

It's the best way to feature the most positives about the two players.
 
I wonder how we're planning on stopping the Redskins rushing attack this year having added nothing to our DL.

You can get away with a smaller center because a lot of times they are helping out one of the guards in pass protection. Or they are combo blocking in the running game. A guard in my opinion is where you really need your strength. Someone that won't give up an inch of ground while doing far more one on one blocking.
