Second would be the CB position and third signing Anthony Mix immediately to a longer contract. Mix had one of the best performances on special teams against Chicago stopping Devin Hester. He has proven he can play special teams now lets see this 6"4 plus WR work with Jason in the offseason.

He's signed till 2009, happened yesterday. Read JLC blog.

Our primary need is a bull rushing DE.

Hopefully. He was on the roster for awhile and never played one snap on offense. I wonder why they never gave him a shot? He did make plays on special teams though.

He played pulling guard a few times (Giants and Bears game) and looked good from what I read.

21. Washington Redskins
Record: 9-7
Biggest needs: WR, DE, S, OT, CB
Projected pick: Limas Sweed, WR, Texas
The Redskins' top priority this offseason is to add a playmaking receiver to the roster. There projects to be a run of wide receivers in the bottom half of the first round before the shallow talent pool dries up and if the Redskins don't get involved here they're likely to get shut out of the wide receiver market. Sweed could become one of the steals of this year's draft; he possesses top-10 talent but will no doubt be undervalued due to a wrist injury that cut short his senior season but should have no long-term affects on his pass-catching ability.

I think we need a pass rusher to help Carter on the other side. I'm not that familiar with the DE's coming out this year, but I'm sure with the 21st pick we can get an above average player. Philip Daniels is average at best when it comes to the pass rush. We should keep him, but only for stopping the run.

Calaisis Campbell out of miami will help Carter big time

I guess Defensive line should be top priority, but offensive line should be a close second. Middle to late round depth for the O line should be sufficient. A big, sure-handed wide receiver should also be a top priority, but I actually think they should grab an established guy from another team to fill that need.

And it may not hurt to grab a young running back, late in the draft. They certainly don't need a starter for next season, but Portis is taking a beating, and both he and Betts are getting older by RB standards.

Don't forget about Marcus Mason though

Offensive line then defensive line. Everything else is secondary (or tertiary at that point, I suppose.)
