			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With the second pick, in 2012 NFL draft, the Washington Redskins select&#8230;.</p>
<p>You can finish the sentence.</p>
<p>The only thing keeping Robert Griffin III out of Washington right now is time, and some fans cannot contain their excitement. The Redskins are expected to select RG3 with the second overall  pick in this years draft, making it the biggest draft pick in recent history in D.C. But we as fans are forgetting about the other needs that the &#8216;Skins still have. One thing you need to be a successful team in the NFL is balanced talent, and right now that&#8217;s exactly what the Redskins are lacking.</p>
<p>Here is a 7-round mock draft that will touch every Washington need plus more:</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><strong>Round 1, #2: Robert Griffin III, Baylor QB</strong></p>
<div class="mceTemp mceIEcenter" style="text-align: center">
<dl>
<dt><a href="http://cdn.fansided.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/61/files/2012/04/61197521.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-7739" src="http://cdn.fansided.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/61/files/2012/04/61197521-214x300.jpg" alt="" width="214" height="300" /></a>. </dt>
</dl>
</div>
<p>No explanation needed for this pick. Mike Shanahan&#8217;s career will thrive or die on this selection</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><strong>Round 3, #69: Phillip Blake, Baylor C</strong></p>
<div class="mceTemp mceIEcenter">
<dl>
<dt><a href="http://cdn.fansided.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/61/files/2012/04/5766072.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-7747 aligncenter" src="http://cdn.fansided.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/61/files/2012/04/5766072-202x300.jpg" alt="" width="202" height="300" /></a></dt>
<dd></dd>
</dl>
</div>
<p>In a thin class of offensive centers, there is a slight chance that Blake will not survive a draft fall this big. If he is around, however, expect the Redskins to bring in RG3&#8242;s former snapper. They desperately need help on the O-line, and if Blake were to start this season, he could take the pressure off Will Montgomery and allow him to return to Guard position, where he belongs</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><strong>Round 4, #102: Chase Minnifield, Virgina CB</strong></p>
<div class="mceTemp mceIEcenter" style="text-align: center">
<dl>
<dt><a href="http://cdn.fansided.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/61/files/2012/04/5694882.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-7750" src="http://cdn.fansided.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/61/files/2012/04/5694882-199x300.jpg" alt="" width="199" height="300" /></a></dt>
</dl>
</div>
<p>I really see this pick happening for the Resskins. They defiantly want to nab a decent defensive-back while they can, and Minnifeild would be a steal. In his play at Viginia, he showed great potential and discipline, and is the right guy for a young team.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><strong>Round 4, #109: Ryan Miller, Colorado OG</strong></p>
<div class="mceTemp mceIEcenter">
<dl>
<dt><a href="http://cdn.fansided.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/61/files/2012/04/5739088.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-7740 aligncenter" src="http://cdn.fansided.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/61/files/2012/04/5739088-224x300.jpg" alt="" width="224" height="300" /></a></dt>
<dd></dd>
</dl>
</div>
<p>If the Redskins were able to pull this off, they will have made a great decision. At 6&#8217;8 and 295, Ryan Miller dominated at Colorado, where he only allowed 5 sacks in 3,320 career plays. With RG3 aboard, it&#8217;s time to start thinking about some serious insurance</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><strong>Round 5, #141: George lloka, Boise State S</strong></p>
<div class="mceTemp mceIEcenter" style="text-align: center">
<dl>
<dt><a href="http://cdn.fansided.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/61/files/2012/04/57437581.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-7742" src="http://cdn.fansided.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/61/files/2012/04/57437581-212x300.jpg" alt="" width="212" height="300" /></a></dt>
</dl>
</div>
<p>At 6&#8217;4 and 222, this Boise State product will be a great addition to a patched up Washington secondary. lloka has great ball instinct and is a great player in a shallow pool of safeties, making it questionable that he&#8217;ll last until the fifth-round. If he does however, the Redskins could pair him up with pro-bowler Brandon Meriweather in the deep secondary</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><strong>Round 6, #173: Tom Compton, South Dakota OL</strong></p>
<div class="mceTemp mceIEcenter">
<dl>
<dt><a href="http://cdn.fansided.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/61/files/2012/04/59696541.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-7745 aligncenter" src="http://cdn.fansided.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/61/files/2012/04/59696541-220x300.jpg" alt="" width="220" height="300" /></a></dt>
</dl>
</div>
<p>The line still needs help, and after a year of learning the ropes, this could be a great addition to help protect Griffin III. In 2009, Compton started 10 games at right tackle, helping the rush unit average over 400 yards per game</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><strong>Round 7, #213: Jeremy Ebert, Northwestern WR</strong></p>
<div class="mceTemp mceIEcenter">
<dl>
<dt><a href="http://cdn.fansided.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/61/files/2012/04/5607368.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-7743 aligncenter" src="http://cdn.fansided.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/61/files/2012/04/5607368-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></dt>
</dl>
</div>
<p><strong></strong>Although the Redskins made upgrades in wide-receivers this off-season by adding Pierre Garcon and Josh Morgan, the unit is not yet solid. Ebert brings in raw talent that, with time, could develop into a major threat downfeild</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Many of you may be wondering why I stayed clear from ILB, unlike many other mock drafts. I think London Fletcher will be around for three more years, and has solid back-ups in Perry Riley and Lorenzo Alexander. Washington needs to worry about their week secondary and protecting the franchise QB from Baylor, and also surrounding him with talent, raw or not. There is no reason why that shouldn&#8217;t be a main focus, and is exactly what should happen.</p>
<p>Bruce Allen and the front office know what they have to do to win this draft, and it&#8217;s up to them and owner Dan Snyder to make that happen.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><em>Tune in Thursday night to watch history as the Redskins select Robert Griffin III to lead the future.</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Big Apple has huge appeal when it comes to pop culture and entertainment.  New York City has hosted prize Heavyweight Championship fights, World Series Games, NBA Championship Games, Stanley Cup Finals, and even two Wrestlemanias. How about a Super Bowl, shouldn&#8217;t that be in the mix now? Super Bowls have been played in cold weather cities, but with the winter blast of 2009-2010, can the NFL risk having such a storm interfer with the biggest sporting event of the year? I say no.  New York is a great venue for sports, but an outdoor game played in New Jersey risking being snowed out is too much at stake.  Imagine a 1-2 foot snow storm the night before.  What are you going to do, postpone the Super Bowl? Settle for less than 20,000 people in the stands because people cannot make it there? Apparently I am not the only one who feels this way.</p>
<blockquote><p>Baltimore Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti is opposed to New York hosting a Super Bowl, and he&#8217;s presenting a doomsday scenario for what a New York winter could mean for America&#8217;s biggest sporting event.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m not sold on it,&#8221; Bisciotti said. &#8220;The idea of cold weather certainly doesn&#8217;t scare us. The idea of a two-foot snowstorm does. After what we&#8217;ve been through in Baltimore in the last three months, you really have to wonder if logistically <a href="http://weblogs.baltimoresun.com/sports/ravens/blog/2010/05/report_ravens_would_vote_against_new_york_super_bowl.html">it&#8217;s possible the darn thing could get postponed</a>. I don&#8217;t think you could get people into the Meadowlands, 70,000 people into the Meadowlands, in a two-foot snowstorm in New York.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>The result is expected today, and most think it will be New York. Regardless of the fact, heated debates will continue.</p>
