Compton on offense, Crawford on defense/special teams

Good choices.

Leonard Hankerson.

I've loved the guy ever since he came out of Miami, and he's been decent, but I think this year is the year he breaks out and becomes the number two behind Garcon. His dropping problem was always way overblown, and now he has a full offseason under his belt. On top of that, Shanahan is impressed with him too.

Not overblown. Must be fixed.

Shanahan praised Beck and Grossman too. His offseason praise is worth about as much as my advice on relationships - either zilch or below zilch. That said, I don't get the love for him. I've seen people say look at the end of last season, so I did, in the last 7 games he had: 2,1,1,4,2,1,1 catches. Garcon had: 3,4,8,5,6,7,3. But even more, in the games where Garcon wasn't in, and we needed a player to step up, like Hankerson is "going to", he managed to have 1 catch against Pittsburgh, and 3 at Carolina.

Maybe I am just being obstinate. On Football Outsiders (http://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/wr) website PGarcon ranks 39th, RWayne ranks 40th, and Hankerson ranks 41st. He also has very respectable catch rate of 67%, Garcon was 66%, and Wayne was 55%. So, I hope he proves me wrong, that would be grrreeeaatt!

Slightly surprised no mentions of either of the Jordan safeties, or Tanard for that matter

Maybe because the Redskins don't see much out of those guys, considering that they drafted 2 safeties this year.

The thing I love about our team right now is you can go in so many different directions when trying to answer this question. That's what keeping your draft picks and making solid choices can do for you.

Could it be the year Fred Davis finally stays healthy and puts together a full season? Could it be the year Roy Helu stays healthy and becomes a change of pace guy and then some? Could it be the year Josh LeRibeus forces himself into the lineup because of great camp play? Could Leonard Hankerson get over the dropsies? Could we get another rookie stud with our 6th round pick in Rambo? Could Amerson give us the CB depth we've really needed?

We're deep. What a nice feeling.

I feel the same way , we have 7-10 young guys that have shown flashes . Maybe because I want a feel good story .... I will go with Chase Minnifield . I do believe our rookie class of '13 will give us some big plays , hail skins !

Hankerson is just a guy that people love to hate.

Need to Know: Big offseason for Hankerson - Rich Tandler's Real Redskins (http://www.realredskins.com/rich-tandlers-real-redsk/2013/02/need-to-know-big-offseason-for-hankerson.html)

Quote from that article:

Per PFF, Hankerson was targeted 55 times and he had 38 receptions and three drops. That gives him a drop rate of 7.32 percent. Of the 82 NFL wide receivers who played at least 25 percent of their teams’ snaps that is the 28th-best drop rate.

That’s not great but it was the best on the team. Pierre Garçon caught 44 passes and dropped five, a drop rate of 10.2 percent (51st in the NFL). Josh Morgan’s caught 48 and dropped seven for a rate of 12.73 percent (67th). Santana Moss, with six drops and 41 receptions had a rate of 12.77 (68th).
