Redskins Add WRs Pierre Garcon and Joshua Morgan

[The Goat]

The more I think about our FA moves and using precious cap space to get WRs over the best available olineman it seems plausable Hankerson's injury concerns are pretty serious. Too bad we didn't have the dough to do both!

This team was in desperate need of playmakers at WR. Even if LH was 100%, I think we still would have made those moves.

Yeah but I thought a legit franchise QB could boost WR performance?!

We just mortgaged the foreseeable future on our franchise QB, it stands to reason we'd do everything possible to best protect him and that means solidifying the line to me.

Garcon, Gaffney, Moss and a healthy Hankerson is a pretty decent WR group. Spending extra cap space on Morgan at the (possible) expense of London, RT, OG seems either shortsighted or indicative Hankerson is a big ?

Sure, you can get more out of your receivers, but they aren't getting faster or more talented. Steve Young could probably do well with Gaffney and old Moss, but Jerry Rice could do more than either of them.

Raider Rice or Seahawks and Broncos training camp Rice?

Shanahan just doesn't toss big $$ at lineman especially on the interior.

I don't think the line was that horrible to begin with anyway.

One of RG3's main strength's is his deep ball. Makes sense to get him as much help as possible in that area.

RG3 also seems to be pretty good at getting the most out of generally inferior talent. Line wise Baylor always had a prospect or two but to my knowledge as a unit they've always been average.

2009 - Frosh year
Jason Smith - T - Rams - Top 5 Pick
Dan Gay - T -Saints - Undrafted

2010
JD Walton - C - Broncos - 3rd Round

2011
Danny Watkins - G - Eagles - 1st Round

2012
Phillip Wright - C - 5th Round Grade
Robert Griffin (Yes, Robert Griffin) - G - Projected UDFA

And Jason Smith has been a dud for the Rams; he's playing RT and not well-endeared to Rams fans.

I was speaking of Jason Smith as a college player. Fact of the matter is when he was at Baylor in 2008 he was dominant. His pro career is irrelevant when talking about the personnel RG3 had around him during his time at Baylor.

Anyway the point remains, decent O-Lines, two great prospects in RG3's time there, but overall average units at best.
