Who should the Redskins be targeting in the NFL Draft?

From my mock draft: The writing is on the wall for Jason Campbell. There’s a new head coach and a new GM in town. The guys who drafted him are gone, most of them long gone. He just happened to have his 2 worst games of his career in the last 3 weeks of this season and now he’s a restricted free agent. Even if the Redskins tender him a contract, they’ll likely trade him to the highest bidder and even if he isn’t traded, he’ll likely only be back on a one year deal to be a stop gap while a young quarterback waits to take over in 2011, a smart idea. Oklahoma QB Sam Bradford has a lot of issues, namely his injured shoulder and the system he played in during college, but if history is any indicator, there’s a good chance he sneaks up into the top 5. Last year, I had Mark Sanchez and Josh Freeman in the 2nd round at this points. Sanchez went 5th and Freeman went 17th. Why? If a team needs a quarterback in the first round, chances are they take one even if it’s a reach. There are way too many teams with needs at the quarterback position this year, including Washington, for guys like Bradford and Tim Tebow, who look like borderline 1st round picks on paper, to not go in the top 15.
