Draft Preview: Washington Redskins

Pick 13: Washington Redskins

Strengths: Healthy profit margins

Weaknesses: Ridiculously expensive parking

The Pick: Michael Oher, OT, Ole Miss

Redskins owner Daniel Snyder is almost certain to order personnel chief Vinny Cerrato to do something ridiculously shortsighted and impulsive between now and the draft. (This would probably qualify.) Sitting tight at 13 to draft a tackle probably won't work for Snyder, but Homerism is running this show. Of course, Oher is no ordinary offensive lineman.

Anyone who has read Michael Lewis' brilliant book The Blind Side realizes there are some risks in taking Oher. His background and development into the most sought-after tackle prospect in the country in high school defy belief. Yet, having read Blind Side, it's easy to wonder if Oher has the mental makeup and desire to play in the NFL.

Even so, prospects with Oher's combination of size and athleticism rarely come along. He's worth the risk. And maybe that kind of excitement would appease Snyder.
