What Gibbs hasn't Done....landing the small fish!!!

we have three needs andd only one pick that could be considered useful in addressing one of those 3 needs. We still need 2-3 FAs to be ready for a big run. then CB/LB/OL in the draft for even more depth at those spots.

That is right on the money. I think we can get two OL man and a LB in free agency if we act in the next few weeks. Maybe a CB as well. But the 2nd pick could be used for that CB or OL spot. If it was me I would try like hell to fill all these needs with free agents if they were out there. The money has to be right. You see its not as hard to get a player to come play for you when you throw a ton of cash his way. It's another thing to get a good player to play for you at a cost that isn't over the top!

Then use the draft for the best player out there when the pick come up! Just maybe we can catch a starter in the lower rounds!

yeah, after round 3 its much harder and you can't count on those guys to contribute (especially not the first year) in future plans. Its just pot shots hoping for a hit.

I know that the draft is never a sure thing, especially the later rounds - but who's to say the redskins can't successful there, too. Compared to other teams in fa and early rounds, the redskins are the best by far. It's my fan opinion, I know - but I am also realistically looking at it. To me, the redskins' early round and fa picks are money. Other teams - they seem to be crap shots, even with fa. With other teams, it's like a box of chocolates...

To me, there's nothing from stopping them from doing that in the later rounds too. I mean why can't they ? I'm not sure, but I'm guessing that they just haven't put a lot of time in doing that.

Like I've said before, pessimism doesn't work with me. If you have a resource that's available, get the best out of it. I don't believe that something is not going work, just because it hasn't in the past, just do something different or try harder at it.

I wouldn't call the guys we picked up "big fish" to start with. Yes, they got some good money, but these are guys that fill some glaring holes for us.

The Dan Snyder of 2000 would have scooped up T.O., Edge, Culpepper by now. Not because we need them, but because he could.

well, there's definately an arguement for culpepper.
