That 1st round pick we gave up to Denver is looking worse and worse. Phew!

[TheMalcolmConnection]

I'd love to see some more DL and OL depth. Maybe take a project DE with our second round pick. Honestly, I think we could fill a lot of needs at free agency this year.

I think we need to USE what draft picks we have this year. Our team is fairly solid on both sides of the ball. We should be able to get a decent DE in the 2nd round or a pretty good WR. One of those positions will probably be addressed in FA, but I hope they dont go and overpay someone that is marginal. We may also pick up the trade w/ Ramsey for Abraham, so that may leave open drafting a WR in the 2nd round. We will probably end up signing a veteran QB in the offseason to fill the #3 spot. You can usually draft a decent guard in the 3rd round (Dockery) I think we are pretty set with the D line, and LB depending on LA situation. seconday, we could probably use a SS that has better cover skills. Clark is good a run support, but seems to be average w/ cover skills. (like to have Notre Dames SS #9, forgot his name)

I'd draft for offensive line depth. Ray Brown is a goner to retirement after this year, and Corey Raymer looks like a salary cap casualty. Do we know if Molinaro is any good?

I'd be picking up offensive linemen left and right if I were Gibbs.

Do we have a 3rd rounder this year? I thought we gave up our 1st and 3rd in the Campbell trade, along with our second rounder from last year.

According to Bugel Molinaro is pretty good. big,strong and athletic. They drafted two tackles / guards that year and I can't remember if the other one is still on the team or not. They will need a backup center, and guard, but one of the two(molinaro / other guy) could fill the guard spot. I would still use the 2nd rounder for either the DE or WR, which ever is the best player available. These are impact players that would make a bigger difference immediately with out team. The OL draft picks are not going to be immediate starters where the DE or WR could be.

[Hail2em]

i would like to see a DE and maybe another interior lineman. WR would be nice as well.

[Redskins_P]

I think the first thing we should look at is WR early. After Moss and Patten, its pretty wide open. Thrash is primarily a special teams player, and TJ hasn't shown us anything in these last 2 years.

I know we won't be able to draft this guy, but the dude from Georgia Tech Calvin Johnson is sick. 6'4 225 and he's pretty fast. Great hands and can jump for the balls.

[Schneed10]

I generally don't like rookie WRs. They are hit and miss, and take a long time to develop even when they're hits.

I'd rather see us get a WR via free agency and draft the other positions.

I can see where you're coming from....especially with our luck drafting WR's. Almost all of them didn't pan out.


But this kid Calvin Johnson is the real deal. I think he's worth the risk.

Bottom line is, we need someone to compliment Moss, and it would be nice if he had some size.

I agree. I'd like to see the Skins take a chance on 1 or 2 of these guys...

WIDE RECEIVERS

Reggie Wayne Colts 27
Koren Robinson Vikings 25
Keenan McCardell Chargers 35
Joe Jurevicius Seahawks 31
Antwaan Randle El Steelers 26

Wayne would probably cost big money, but he would be worth it. He would love the Redskins "U" movement. And would put up pretty good numbers opposite Moss.

Robinson will cost a lot less, and he looks like he has turned his career back around. He post some good numbers in MIN and probably doesn't want to go through the change over there. He would also be a very good option opposite Moss.

McCardell is getting up in years, but he has an uncanny connection with Brunell. I watched those two play together in JAX, reminds me of how Manning and Harrison seem to know what each other are thinking. As a possession receiver he would be solid. And after all Gibbs did draft him.

Jurevicius would be another good option as a possession receiver. His size would give Brunell an easy target for 1st downs and in the Red Zone.

Randle El would really help to open up our offense. We would be able to stretch the field from both sides. He is also very dangerious in the return game.

Out of the one's on your list, which is good put together, I think the Skins would only consider Randle El (dual capability) and Wayne (I think Gibbs is pretty warm to guys from the "U", and I haven't heard anything negative about Wayne) We can count on Portis and the boys lobbying to get him in D.C.

Ranlde El is intriguing. Another option might be to draft a guy like Hagans from UVa. He is a lot like Randle El. Decent college QB with good speed and maybe good hands. He'll play WR is the NFL if he has the hands. He played WR his sophomore year when they had Schaub so he has a little experience at it. His combine performance will tell where he goes but is almost certainly a 2nd day guy. A project but we're talkign about our 3rd WR right now probably so a project at the 3rd spot is ok.
I wouldn't draft a WR in the first round most years and this year is no different. OL and DL should be the focus early.

[hurrykaine]

I hope we consolidate all the later round picks and just have 1 second round pick and 2 thirds. Last year's latter round picks like Manual White and Jarred Newberry were total busts (save Nemo). Don't know what the deal with McCune is either. White and Newberry were certainly poor choices.

We could use the second rounder on a WR, and the third rounders on an O-lineman and back-up D-lineman/DE. The starting DE we get via free agency.

I don't know that I'd call Manuel White a poor choice at this point. He sustained a broken leg in preseason, so the verdict is still out.
