The Redskins announced the signing offensive tackle Jeremy Trueblood, formerly of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, earlier this afternoon.
Current Redskins general manager Bruce Allen drafted Trueblood in the second round of the 2006 NFL draft, and fits the current regime’s trend of signing “low risk, solid reward”-type reclamation projects. After starting for six of seven seasons for the Buccaneers, his play significantly dropped off in 2012, and his season ended after he was placed on injured reserve.
Trueblood’s signing very likely means that Tyler Polumbus, the Redskins starting right tackle for all of 2012, will not be back with the team in 2013. Polumbus is reportedly meeting with the Jacksonville Jaguars today and tomorrow, and given the Redskins current salary cap predicament (and overall lack of cap room), it seems likely that he will be playing for another team in 2013.
As a result, Trueblood will likely compete with the recently signed Tony Pashos, and incumbents Maurice Hurt and Tom Compton, for the Redskins starting right tackle spot for the Redskins offense.

This prolly means TRUEBLOOD replaces POLUMBUS.
KEHL in the house because of Lo-A leaving to the CARDINALS.
Really tough to mock the REDSKINS until FA plays out, but here’s a stab in the dark.
2 [051] – FS ERIC REID Louisiana State – 6’1? 213; 4.53 40
3 [085] – TE TRAVIS KELCIE Cincinnati – 6’5? 255; 4.68 40
4 [116] – OLB ZAVIER GOODEN Missouri – 6’2? 234; 4.47 40
5 [147] – WR CHRIS HARPER Kansas State – 6’1? 230; 4.55 40
5 [155] – CB TERRY HAWTHORNE Illinois – 6’0? 195; 4.44 40
6 [181] – RB ZAC STACY Vanderbilt – 5’8? 215; 4.55 40
7 [212] – SS COOPER TAYLOR Richmond 6’4? 220; 4.57 40
UFA’s
FB/HB WILLIE CARTER -Tulsa – 6’2? 240; 4.64 40; Excellent hands, fair rush, unknown blocker.
I was banking on a FA corner, but right now, the CB position in the draft is equally important to the FS slot because until we create more space under the cap, we can’t go after any FA corners.
We have TANARD JACKSON at FS [maybe] and that’s it assuming MADIEU WILLIAMS is gone.
MERIWEATHER, DOUGHTY and GOMES at SS.
JOSH WILSON, RICHARD CRAWFORD, JORDAN BERNSTEIN, JORDAN PUGH, and CHASE MINNEFIELD at the CB positions. Can’t see CEDRICK GRIFFIN being back
With the DL set, and FLETCH, JAX, ROBINSON, KEHL, and ORAKPO returning with RILEY, and KERRIGAN, we will need one ILB in the draft.
Actually the originals picks were on March 9 at noon, before any moves in FA.
We’ve almost got to get a FA CB and FS plus one of each and a SS in the draft. Add a TE if FRED DAVIS is not back.
Do we really want a reprise of D-HALL since we passed on him and allowed FA?
Missing on REGGIE BUSH means a RB pick, and with FLETCH nearing retirement and Lo-A gone to the birds, an ILB pick is necessary assuming KEENAN ROBINSON fills the ILB/OLB ALEXANDER slot this year.
My draft picks at this point 3/18
My assumptions are that FRED DAVIS is signed and D-HALL is not. That we sign a starting CB and FS after creating cap room, and that TANARD JACKSON goes away once his suspension is over.

All subject to change of course depending on the final result of free agency, and the cap.
