Overall Draft Grade for the Redskins

That still doesn't change the overall ineffectiveness of Moss and ARE when it comes to the red zone. It's great that we have Cooley but how much more dangerous could we be with multiple options in that area?A little bit, but ultimately, none of these picks help the running game (well, Rinehart should, and to an extent, so does Davis), and that was the real problem in the red zone.

I think we will see a drastic change in our red zone production. While it might take these young pups time to develop I think Davis and Kelly especially are going to be huge red zone threats starting on day 1. That's literally what they do best with regards to skill set.

I think these moves do help Portis. With these bigger targets and multiple formations in the red zone, teams will no longer stack the box to stuff Portis. CP was the obvious target inside the 5. These additions should open things up for him across the field.

Does anyone remember previous discussion about Portis? He wants to be part of the passing game and I think he will have a better opportunity thanks to our picks.

The way some people talk you would think the line has gone to complete shit.

Yes they're on the wrong side of 30 but we caught some bad breaks (literally) last year with Jansen and Thomas. I doubt we'll see another season where 2 of the 5 starters go down.

And I keep seeing people say we didn't address the line. Does Rinehart not count? Is Heyer not a good find from last year?

Jansen even when he was healthy was being pushed all over the place his better day's are behind him, Thomas will hopefully make a full recovery, but I don't see anything remotly special in Heyer, he looked to slow a foot, maybe he developes into a nice backup, but I don't see him as a starter. Maybe Alexander and Rhinhart become starters but IMO we needed a right tackle to groom behind Jansen it doesn't sound like that is the long term plan with Rhinehart.

I guess you didn't mind Moss and ARE combining for 4 TDs last year?

I think a lot of that had to do with the playcalling and QB.

I think if you have guys like Caldwell and McCardell playing key roles along with 2 starters who went half the season with no TDs, you've got some issues at WR.

B-

We did a brilliant job trading picks, we got a lot of great value out of our picks, we addressed some key needs, but we also ignored some key needs, and I'm not particularly impressed with the Colt Brennan pick. If we had addressed our D-line earlier I would not hesitate to give the Skins an A+.

Our Wr's production was completely dictated by the play calling and QB. Just look at Patten... he sucked for us and now he is the #2 in N.O. and is doing alright for himself... Stats are not a good way to evaluate Wr's (ie: Moss was still the best in the league with the Raiders even though his stats weren't good)

and lack of depth when we had injuries
