Draft Forum Now Open!

I am a firm believer in drafting the best athlete available when it is our turn to draft. The only position we do not need is QB. But every other position we could use a body even if it is for a backup. Players get hurt all the time and good backups are important.
We need to draft and develop a CB. Carlos Roger is great, but Springs and Harris are getting old. Our defense is great because it can cover WR one on one.
Our need for a pass rush DE or WR are not desperate, would would be fine with what we have and by adding an inexpensive WR and pass rusking DE through free agency.
Koren Robinson intrigues me. For the right price, he might be a guy you take a chance on and sign to a modest contract. As he gets older he might get over his stupid ways. The guys is very talented.

he's crosseyed

I like Moulds and Jurevicius, we need more possession type receiver than speed. someone who can get us 10 yards on a consistant basis with cooley. the more underneath the more moss is one on one

Moulds is a no go, very expensive and OLD... moose was a better option and gibbs said no way to him (though he loved his play), so i don't think its even a posibility.

I see where we need to draft a TE. Cooley is the ideal player for the h-back, which plays as TE. The true TE position in gibbs offense is used as an extra blocker and doesn't catch alot of balls. with sellers, royal, and the other guy cant remember his name(87) I think we are OK. We need to address the #2 WR spot, either FA or draft, preferably draft. The DE position is something I would address throught the draft, or w/ the trade involving Ramsey or using the draft pick we get for ramsey. You can draft a corner late 5th or 6th round, I would try and pick up a SS with some speed and size. I said earlier the guy from Notre Dame (#9). Clark is pretty good at run support, but is not all that good in coverage. If we could get a SS that can cover, Taylor could do alot more damage rushing the passer and run support.

What's with the Notre Dame obsession? I'd like to see us take a DE at number 2, although I do agree that Maurice Stovall could be a very nice piece. Hopefully he falls to theh 3rd or 5th rounds.

WR is the weakest position in this year's draft. I've seen mention of Calvin Johnson. And yes, that dude is unbelievable. But he's going to be a top 5/top 10 pick in NEXT year's draft. He was only a sophomore and did not redshirt or attend prep school.

My vote for our first pick is a Defensive End. Actually, I like the Daryl Tapp pick in the mock draft at www.draftnotebook.com

I think it is pretty clear that Gibbs isn't a fan of tall possession receivers. I'd be suprised to see him go that direction. He also has never actually used a TE as a consistent pass catcher and hasn't shown the desire to do so yet. He does have balls thrown to Royal but only because we have no other options after Patten got hurt. I think ideally he wants passes thrown at WRs. Cooley has clearly warmed Gibbs to the idea of of getting the ball to other places though and he has shown the ability to adapt. I think we'll see some depth building at the WR spot so that we can weather injuries there better. He'll clearly be looking for depth on the o-line and certainly will prioritize a quality pass rushing de. I don't see this being a big off-season though. It wasn't a big off-season last year and we finished 6-10. I think he is happy with most of the talent.

I agree FRPLG, there will be no wholesale changes. I think he likes the core group of guys, and Gibbs has repeatedly said he wants these guys to become Redskins for their careers, if possible. So I think along with working within the cap rules, he's going to do his best to retain most of the starters we've already seen.

An addition here and there, and some depth is the recipe for the offseason.

wouldn't it be nuts if we got S moss (as a strong #3) and D tapp? then pick up whoever at CB/DT and OL/LB and that'd be a great draft.

D. Tapp would be a great pick. I'm pretty sure he is a gibbs type player. Lots of character and a strong work ethic. Yea, i think it would be too confusing 2 Moss's running routes. Maybe that's a good thing though.

You better believe that S. Moss is on Gibbs' radar. He could very well end up a Redskin.
