So ryan kahlil was tagged, which means we'll just have to draft a center. Or go after Lyle Sendline of the cardinals, but I don't know if he'd fit the ZBS.

Interesting thing though, is that DAngelo Williams is now a FA, so we should definitely look at him, even though that doesn't fit the Shanahan RB approach.

Also I noticed a lot of hype around Rondey Hudson the G/C from FSU has gone away, I still think he's good and we should take a shot at him.

The reason why I wouldn't give anyone a break-the-bank contract is the same reason why I would trade down in the first round to acquire more picks. It means the ability to pick up more quality players. I don't people realize that when you tie that much money up to one player it ends up hurting the team. Because it takes away the ability to improve the team in other areas. And god knows the redskins need to improve in almost every area of the team.

This has been my contention. But I'm
a Justin bieber kind of guy. I will never say never. There would be exceptions to this rule. But it would have to be a perfect situation.


I think we all would want that. I would like to trade down to around 20 and take Locker plus pick up another 2nd.

Dude. Youre not going to pick up a second round pick just by swapping someones 20th pick with our 10th. Maybe a 4th or at best a 3rd

Warriorzpath, now THIS is a strategy I am strongly against.. Picking up players that don't fit your scheme, which we've done many times before, is crazy..

Hey, I'm all for it but it just seems like alot to give up just to move up 10 picks.... But if a team really wants a player they'll do what it takes. The pats have picks to burn so maybe them.

Rice doesn't get the tag in Minny. If health is not an issue, he should be a FA priority. He's 24 and can be our #1 WR right away.

For us to get him we'll likely have to go back to our old ways of overpaying. Guy can basically choose where he goes.

Some redskins fans never learn.

So what you're saying is that you don't want very talented players? You want them to work towards getting better after starting low? Even the best teams use free agency. You don't have to make ALL of your acquisitions big splashes but it sure doesn't hurt to have a premier player who hasn't had many issues.
