Haven't they been talking about Thomas being the #1 and putting Moss in the slot? He's not the speedster he used to be and has never had the size to be a Plax endzone threat.
I think your right but Thomas needs to be more of a lock. I remember DT getting drafted and people saying he was almost as fast as Moss or would be a good replacement later. It just seemed the team never utilized his speed.

It was hard to utilize his speed given the amount of time that Campbell spent kissing the turf.

I think it seems blatantly obvious the last coaching staff didn't utilize anybody the way they should have or we probably would have done better than 4-12. I think if nothing else Shanny coming in is going to put the talent we do have in better positions to success, and hopefully win, and once we get those few pieces we are missing, hopefully by next year, we can be real contenders. As much as i hope we can contend this year it seems like there are too many holes and too much transition. But at least their is something to be optimistic about. I never had that feeling the last _____ seasons.

On Tuesday, Redskins Coach Mike Shanahan and quarterback Donovan McNabb shot down a report that the Redskins were looking into signing free agent wide receiver Terrell Owens. But the Redskins are interested in upgrading at wideout, which has led to some buzz about third-year wide receiver Devin Thomas. Apparently, Thomas's name has been mentioned around the league in trade scenarios involving the Redskins.

I thought Kelly had been the one targeted in the trade rumors?

IDK. I personally would not trade our receivers. Nor have I heard of any rumor coming out of Redskins Park regarding a trade scenario. I wouldn't believe anything I hear as far as a WR trade. I do like the idea of bringing in a proven WR as a addition to our current core however.
As far as the draft is concerned: Here ya go... Dez Bryant http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFWEKUDG8NQ

That guy is pretty nasty. The corners don't have a chance with the jumpball, his hands look pretty sticky and he runs like a tight end after the catch.
Reminds me of Fred Davis!

Yeah, only problem is he's going early. If we were to take him we would give up a O Line pick. But man he would be a great pick.
