Last year we had a D-line of cast-offs from other teams. All of these players like Lional Dalton, were released from their prior teams for a reason or two. Mostly bacause they are not great players.
We have not drafted a single d-lineman high in the draft in a long time. The Redskins better devote the next several drafts to d-line. Mr. Snyder you need to curb your desirer for Offensive skill postion players. NO more WR's, RB's or QB's please.

The KC star has not seen a decent tackle in a few years.

KC was one of the few teams that we outplayed defensively last year, so of course Dalton is a huge upgrade. But everyone blossoms at different times and in different circumstances, so maybe this is his spot. But if the guy isn't on our roster who cares anymore? I'd take Noble over him 10 out of 10 times.

Dalton was cut by the Broncos because he was being paid a ton of money and wasn't earning every dollar, not necessarily because he was a scrub. I'm not saying he was Anthony McFarland or Warren Sapp, but I am saying that he was a good backup DT.

this has nothing to do with this tread, but I just noticed Ramseyfan's quote. I dont know if you had that there before, I dont remember it being that but thats one of those things that really gets my aggrivated. I know this year when I go to a Skins game its going to be filled with Skins colors, but the last few years there were always as many fans for the other team as there were Skins fans and it made me sick. Its not easy beign the only Skins fan in a section because two voices will never be louder than 20. I just hope Gibbs brings back the pride that we all have for being Skins fans and people come to their senses and that even if we have a bad year this year they stick in there and root for the hometeam.
Sorry guys, I flew from miami over 20 times in the four years to go to home games and its just plain annoying seeing all the fair weather fans in the stadium

Thank you Big C for pointing out that Dalton was TRADED here for one of the low round draft picks we did not have this year. He was not cut by the Broncos. He fell out of favor there because he was not in top physical condition and did not play hard all the time. Oh, and yeah, he and the coaches out there didn't see eye to eye.
Just the kind of "character guy" you want to use a draft choice to get...
