Current 2014 Free Agents

I want us to draft a PR/KR in Dri Archer. I also would like us to draft a Number 2 WR like Kelvin Benjamin

I want us to rebuild our line through free agency because I want a player that has proven he can block in this league.
Michael Oher has played both RT and LT and has never missed a game for injury. We need to make it a priority to steal him.

They already tried rebuilding their offensive line through free agency. The only offensive linemen worth keeping was actually drafted by the Skins.

we have actually tried drafting the past few years under Shanny and the problem is we can't develop talent.

I agree. Shanahan's coaching staff couldn't develop linemen. That is a big reason he is no longer employed.

That is not a core in my opinion. That is a couple of players that were drafted by the Skins.

A core is what the Patriots have. Obviously Brady is a huge reason for their success but you have a locker room filled with guys that were developed with the Patriot system. The Patriots use free agency for depth (a lot of them are starting now because of injury) and to give guys chances that come there cheap. Just looking at their team you have Soldier, Mankins, Wendell, Vollmer, Edelman, Gronk, Ridley, Brady, Wilfork, Spikes, Mayo, Hightower, Jones, McCourty and Dennard. All those players were either drafted by the Pats or came as an undrafted free agent. That is a core. That is what the locker room is lacking. Solid players that were developed together and with only one team.

The Seahawks were able to build that in a few years as well. 49ers had that they just needed a coach. Packers pretty much only build through the draft.

You don't need to sign a lot of free agents to be starters in order to be competitive. What has worked for a lot of successful teams is drafting and developing players in your system, building a core and solid locker room, and then you can bring in a free agent or two in order to fill a hole and create depth.

How that's not a core of players? That is the Redskins core. They're not only players, several of them are the face of our team. RG3, Morris, Reed (if healthy), Rak, Kerrigan, Riley, T. Williams, and Amerson. IS the core, then you get more guys and build around that. What we're lacking is depth and development.

You make it sound like we have 53 nobodies running around out there.

The Lineman coach is still here unfortunately.

We've had the same hits and misses just like any other team. The reason why people are so against free agency, is because some people think Vinny is still in charge.

I agree... They don't understand its our best option with no 1st round pick.

Last 4 drafts:
The redskins have drafted 7 Offensive lineman and 15 defensive players. They don't take the time to develop them or can't. that is the real problem.

They are the core of a 3 win team. That's what it boils down to. Not saying they can't play better but those are facts. 3 wins.

It has nothing to do with Vinny. I think there's a proven track record, not only here but other teams as well, that going on a big free agent spending spree doesn't parlay into wins.

I agree with the last part. And until they fix that the Redskins will still be where they have been the past 15 years, even if they sign free agents.
