we're looking at OT in this draft, not G/C from what i've heard (they're interested in getting pucillo and fabini back for that).

it's crazy, but quality OTs might go into the third round this year, and the 2nd is a likely time for us to grab up... future LT with heyer as a future RT until we can find something better or he improves more, and wait on G/Cs till next year or look in the UDFAs.

OT class is surprisingly deep this year, we may wait until the later rounds to get help there depending on how everthing shakes out. Ideally we'll take both an OG and an OT in the draft.

Yeah there should be some good tackles in the 3rd round

I hope we make a run at Justin Smiley. The guy was a second round pick in the draft a few yeras ago and was probably part of the reason that Frank Gore had such a monster season back in 2006.

I am all for signing CB Florence & WR Hackett; as long as they are descent contracts. I feel they can help us in a few ways, as for Briggs, well I do not feel we need him. If we need a fill in type guy or someone for depth I would intertain the thoughs of bringing back old #56 for a modest vet contract. I feel this is already a possiblity of his return since GW is gone.

Atogwe is a restricted free agent, meaning we'd have to give up draft picks to acquire him.

The latest report from the WP is that we're not going to go after Florence and Hackett.

I don't see that on the Redskins front page or the Insider section. Can you cite your source?

Lions just released Fernando Bryant...any interest? I mean would you guys want to sign him, not asking if the Redskins are interested.

I think he's production has decline over the years.
