I meant to post this a while back in this thread. Last year Shanahan drafted Austin and added Banks and Armstrong as UDFA's and placed Kelly on IR instead of cutting him. Banks and Armstrong contributed, Austin didnt. This year we added Hankerson and Paul as rookie WR's, plus a whole bunch FA's and a couple UDFA's. I think Shanahan just likes to overload at a position of need for competition or to set a tone or precedence or whatever. For fans it can suck because its hard to fall in love with a guy like Banks or Armstrong and then see him knocked down the depth chart or cut but its probably whats best for the team.

-Shanahan tends to draft in bulk:
It is known that the Redskins offensive line is in shambles at this point. Don't be surprised to see Shanahan draft in bulk along the line. Like serious bulk. A few years ago he drafted Jarvis Moss and Tim Crowder in the first and second round respectively. A couple years prior we needed a cornerback opposite Champ. Starting in the second round Shanahan drafted Darrent Williams, Domonique Foxworth and Karl Paymah all in succession.
