I just don't want to be on my way to the games this fall talking about how much depth we have with no pass-rush, being eaten alive by just about every average QB in the league because we can't mount a rush.
To me, while stopping the run is the biggest problem that needs to be addressed, our pitiful pass rush is right behind it.
I just feel that a monster defensive tackle who can obliterate the line of scrimmage, collapse the pocket, and wreak havoc on the line will do more to help us in both key aspects of defense (rush the QB, and stop the run). It's harder to get both with just a DE.

This is like the # 6th thread about young buck, gaines. He is VERY talented. I'm just not so sure we won't end up giving that #6 up for some more draft picks.
They are aweful quite at REDSKIN park???? huuuummmm....

That's the #1 priority of every NFL team come game day, stop the run first, pressure the passer in passing situations. Any combination of players we can assemble to acomplish that feat is fine with me. I agree that DT & DE both need to be adressed, and our entire draft should be dedicated to that end.

Hi Everyone,
I have been a diehard redskins fan for over 25 yrs. I think to help stop the running game we need to take Alan Branch. This could help the Defense become a top 10 defense this year.

Welcome! I agree. One player at a time, and our D-Line needs four.

Alan Branch!!! We need a playmaker. Branch reminds me of Penn State DT Jim Kennedy. An oversized body thats out of shape and has trouble getting in the starting lineup. Trust me we need someone thats going to energize our defense thats going to get momentum on our side.
I know I've gone on the record saying that I want Alan Branch but I just don't know anymore. The guy seems like nothing more than a big body. If he was a John Henderson type of big guy then I'd say go for it but not in this case.
