Who do we sign on defense? FA/Draft?

[skinsguy]

I have to admit, the only defensive talent that comes to mind in the draft is Chris Long. Would love it if the Redskins were able to draft him (but that's probably not going to happen.)

Anyways, I still believe our most pressing need is to upgrade our defensive line. We need young legs, strength and a lot speed up front. Who do you guys think the Redskins will go after in both free agency and the draft to address our needs on defense?

Well I feel Chris Long is not a long shot at all. Plus the fact that the Dolphins are listening to trade down anyway & the Bengals doesn't plan to trade CJ. To me DE is the next big need to fill go for it DS.

Yup

Him or Cason in the 1st round. People will complain that we're not drafting a DE, but that's ok. The offseason isn't just about the first round of the draft. There are several ways to address many of our needs

And that is the point that so many people overlook.

Talib has better hands but cason is faster its win win in my book.

One thing I think about drafting another player in the safety is this...if we have a strong defensive line that puts a lot of pressure on the quarterback, we're not going to need another Darrell Green or Champ Bailey. What we have in Springs and Smoot will be good enough.

ok from what I just heard on Redskins radio we wont get a DE in the Draft, but we will be getting another db. Which would be 25 years in a row we take a db in the first round. He did say a priority would be pressure up the middle, which sounds like Corey williams.

In the draft...or in the first round of the draft?

He said in the draft, but I think he ment first unless his guy is not there, but he said priority number 1 is db, 2 is dt, and 3 is de.

He is cool, but there is a youtube clip of him getting "smoked" by Jordy Nelson( who we need to draft by the way). We can do better in the 3rd round looking for a corner. Just as long as we draft one, we should be cool.

YouTube - Jordy Nelson destroys Aqib Talib

id rather take talib, he seems more physical
