I think getting a middle LB and moving Marshall back to the outside makes the most sense - Marshall did well when he was on the outside.

Andre Carter is too small for DE and too slow for LB - he reminds me of the players the bullets used to have - a bunch a 6'5" swingman.

Archuletta is way too small for LB. I thought about that one too, but he would get blown off the ball by most Offensive Lineman in the NFL - can we say "pancake block". Unfortunately with Archuletta we have to wait a couple of years because cutting him after this season will kill our cap- same with Andre Carter.

This is why I am depressed about the Redskins - they are stuck with the free agent bust players they acquired due to salary cap ramifications/releasing fees and have no draft picks to replace them with.

I say trade down and acquire as many picks as you can get and hopefully 1 or 2 will pan out - but the front office like to trade draft picks like they are going out of style.
