Gibbs and Company have done great landing the big fish in free agency with big money....Randle El, Archuleta, Washington, Griffin, and Carter! Great job! As for the draft not bad as well taking Taylor and Rogers along with Campbell in the first round. Better yet was a 3rd rounder used on Cooley. As for the rest of the draft so-so with six picks and only four still with the team. Trades has been another big thing that has goen well for Gibbs trading for Moss,Burnell, Lloyd and Portis. But getting that small fish will make or break the 06 season. The Gibbs Skins have picked up lesser known players like R.Clark, Rabach[Maybe he is a little bigger then a small fish] and Prioleau. Really no others to speck of under Gibbs. He will need to do so if we are to win a Super Bowl. After the big Free Agent free for all and all that money you still have to have fill in's,back up's and a player or two that starts. We filled in a TE spot with Fauria and that was nice. But a OLB or MLB starter will be needed along with a 3rd and 4th CB and OL depth! Money this time will not get these thing!!! Most of that is goen. The draft and free agency will have to do it. The draft has one high pick [a 2nd] with the rest low picks that have not been historically good for the Redskins. So maybe one or two of the needs can be filled through the draft but the rest will have to be filled with another teams cut or free agency. Turn on that Gibbs Charm there is more work to do. By the way you also need a Kicker and a Punter as well.

hall is our kicker. frost is our punter, they've made no attempt to fix that.
tyler jones is the camp competition, and i think an undrafted college guy (koch) should at least be brought in for competition at punter.
There are some interesting projects at OL/CB/LB in the 5th round this year, but we pick so late that i don't know who'll be left.

Small fish like Washington?
The depth we've acquired in some cases are last year's starters. Phillip Daniels has had health concerns in the past. Now, inistead of relying on a UDFA to step up, our depth chart has three proven starters.

First off Washington isn't a small fish!! I put him with this years big guns. As for the rest of your post there are places we do have depth but O line is not one of them. When you are in a play-off game and your back up guard is a washed up center will you need help! Just think if someone else went down!

So sorry, my sarcasm button is broken on this PC.
O line depth is a concern, but we still have the draft, training camp, and June cuts to fill those slots. We bemoan the fact that our team all but ignores the draft, yet demand a complete roster in March. Patience is my new buzzword (replacing "diarrhea" in a close vote).
In years past, our March roster has not been an indication of our September roster (remember the Jacquez Green era?). Let's wait, and enjoy the ride.

It amazes me that people want to complain about what Gibbs hasn't done.. 'Gibbs hasn't made the winter warm enough! I still need to occassionally scrape ice off my windshield in the morning.' Give it a rest, are we coming off our best season in years? Yes. Have we had a great offseason thusfar? Yes. Wait until August before complaining about the teams' makeup and depth will ya?

If people here are all talking about the lack of depth on the OL, getting another CB and LB do you really believe Gibbs and Co. haven't been working on that for months now?? Teams will still cut quality players in June, we still have the draft(not gonna get much there) and Free Agency didn't all of the sudden end yesterday.
Joe Gibbs is generally reguarded as the most prepared coach in the NFL...maybe EVER...now he is basically running the franchise...is he going to be any less prepared?
All the doubters, know one thing...wherever your mind is...GIbb's and company are atleast two steps ahead. Thats Gibb's history in the NFL, Nascar and back in the NFL. This guy knows what he is doing, has built winners in two sports and will get the job done....know that.

My assessment of Gibbs offseason so far? ..........:biggthump
If diehard 'Skins fans are scratching their heads over his next move, think about what the competition is doing.
