The post major FA moves Draft Thread

Shayne Skov off everyone's radar now?

I would target him if he makes it to the 3rd, our current ILB's are average at best, coming back from injury and/or suited for ST's play. Skov is a smart player, a leader and can play, he would be the perfect successor to Fletcher. How many players in the NFL can say they learn how to play football in Mexico.

Nice plan Lotus.

Now that we have fewer holes, I'm a fan of best player available. I'd also be OK with reaching a half-round for the best safety available.

S Ed Reynolds Stanford in the 3rd or 4th round

Reynolds would be a good one. He takes great angles and is a nice open-field tackler, two things we could definitely use in our secondary.

I still want Dri Archer on this team to make opposing defenses shit on themselves.

The idea of RG3, Garcon, Morris, Jackson, Archer, Reed, and Roberts. that is scary fast and skilled.

With the additions of Akeem Jordan, Adam Hayward, and Daryl Sharpton, ILB just isn't as big a need as it was a month ago. Akeem Jordan is a capable starter, and Keenan Robinson maybe could start as well if he stays healthy; throw in Hayward and Sharpton as backups/special teamers, and you have a solid group. If Skov or any other ILB is the best player available, I'd say take them. But we certainly won't be reaching.

And I'm still with you on drafting a fast, versatile weapon, whether it's Archer, De'Anthony Thomas, Marion Grice, or maybe even Henry Josey. Doubt we'll reach for any of those either, though. We have a potentially explosive offense already, so we probably won't draft any of those guys. If Chris Thompson and Helu stay healthy, there wouldn't really be any need for another one anyway. But that's a big "if".

the last thing we need to do is draft a skill position player. OL/DL or safety. keep it simple

The more I think about it, all things (and players) being equal when the Redskins pick at #34- they should pick up an O-lineman - preferably RT. The Redskins' future is and has been tied to RGIII. Might as well do- the proverbial "all-in" for real by shoring up the line to make sure he's protected.

I agree, unless no tackle has a 2nd round grade then trade down and get another 3rd

It seems to me that one of the advantages of having a GM and a HC who are not the same person is that the GM can take the long view which a HC is less likely to do.

That's where the list that rates draft prospects regardless of position comes in. When it's time for the Redskins to pick in each round, I hope that there is someone available who is at or near the top of that list who also plays a position of need. But if there isn't, I hope they either pick a player who they rated much higher (Cousins) or trade down rather than reaching for a player at a position of need (LeRibeus).
