obviously this would once again shift the draft more towards CB or OL. If they get one player at each of the 3 needs, i'd bet on taking a guard with the 2nd rounder, or another CB... though they might go for DL instead at that point.

I figured that the Skins were leaning towards playing Carter at DE, this would explain their interest in Cowart.

This would be sick. Cowart at MLB and move Marshall out to ROLB?!?!?!?

I'm not sure it is legal for one team to improve itself so much in one year...

I'm not sure if Cowart is an outside or inside backer, either way it's good with me. Sucks that D. Evans is shopping around though, i thought we were gonna resign him.

We probably made an offer, and will try to resign him, but evans made it very clear that he was going to shop himself once FA opened. It was expected.

cowart is an ILB, he may try OLB here though since washington and marshall have a lot more experience making the calls on D.

yeah i thought marshall was definitely underrated this season in the middle. He did everything antonio pierce did, and then some. How old is Cowart, btw?

Cowart has played in Williams system so he would most likely take over in the middle and Lemar would move outside.

didn't know that, I stand corrected. that'd mean all three LBs could make the calls then.

cowart has definitely lost a step from years past when he was in buffalo
