My personal take on the free agent situation is that we don't need another DT or CB (as long as we re-sign Smoot and keep the current batch of DTs and DBs). I'm not keen on any of the WRs and, with the exception of Ellis, I don't care for any of the DEs available. Wynn already does a fairly solid job at left end (Ellis's position) and while Abraham has good skills as a right end, I heard somewhere that he might not be a Gibbs' type of player. All of those Guards, except Coleman and Dishman, would help our line, but we could probably get a decent guard for cheap in the draft. I think bringing back Ray Brown would provide depth along the line at both guard and tackle, and he might help Dockery get up to speed at LG. Of all the guards available, I especially like Rivera and Mayberry. With the exception of possibly Franks, I'm not sold on any of the TEs. One thing about that position in a Gibbs' offense: we need a blocker first and then a receiver second.
In the end, I think we would do well to take a WR in the first round of the draft and find a pash-rushing DE, a decent interior OL, and a TE (to provide depth) in the following rounds. Those seem to be our positions of need. Maybe I'm way off; I'd like to hear somebody else's imput on the 'Skins' "sitcheation."
