Redskins 2018 O/S needs post Alex Smith Trade.

I have been focused on moving forward as well. This is what I got so far...

Absolute Resign: Zach Brown, Ryan Grant, and Dustin Hopkins.

Possibly resign:

Trent Murphy- I like him as a DE OLB hybrid. My concern is that his breakout year was a drug-induced fluke.

Phil Taylor- Depth at NT

Junior Gallette- He was knocking the rust off as the season continued. I understand the logjam leading to his departure.

Niles Paul- Core Skin and special teams Ace.

Terrelle Pryor?- I think Cousin's playstyle lead to his regression. Pryor is a possession receiver.

Free Agents Targets:

Kyle Fuller- Replace one Fuller with another. Kyle is coming back from injury but I believe he is an upgrade over Breeland.

Andrew Norwell- He is my top free agent target. Norwell is an all-pro left guard that would upgrade the overall line. Give this man the Josh Norman treatment and get him signed.

Jimmy Graham- This is my wildcard, I know no one will agree with this. IMO, we should trade Jordan Reed. His health issues over the last few years make him a financial liability. The Graham-Smith connection would kill day 1.

Draft- This is where I see the most flexibility for us as a team here is my mock (Not full).

Round1: Trade down, pick up a 3rd rounder. Draft Payne or Veta
Round2: Ronald Jones II, Rashaad Penny or Nick Chub
Round3: Dante Pettis WR Washington
Round4: KYLE LAULETTA QB Richmond
Round5: Da'Shawn Hand DE Alabama ( I know a reach)

Leveon Bell is really the only stud RB in FA. Draft at 13 could be a guy though

Graham has had issues as well but I wouldn't be against that move.

Isn't murphy still out 4 games?

I'd rather have a proven WR right now

No way on Jimmy Graham, absolutely no. Im for actually cutting Vernon Davis and drafting another TE and/or finding a stronger blocking TE. I really like what Sprinkle showed his first year as well and he should move up the depth chart.

Whoever is tightend is going to see a lot of balls from Smith.

GridIron26 · 02-01-2018, 01:59 PM

Most important thing we need to do first is resign our players - Brown, Murphy and possibly Breeland (I'm on fence regarding him - I used to like him but it seems ever since Norman signed with us, Breeland have had some kind of issues with the team) but since we are giving up Fuller, we will need a solid #2 CB. It will be interesting to see what kind of market Breeland will have.. Either way, we need to find a good replacement to fill Breeland & Fuller's shoes.

We definitely need to find a real RB.. I like Crowell, I personally think he was not in good situation with Browns. Almost every team dare Browns to throw against them and focuses on Crowell.. He is young and hungry so I can see Redskins having a good running game with Crowell and Thompson. If Crowell isn't in the picture then I wouldn't mind bringing Morris back on the team although I doubt it will be good fit. Morris did not play well under Jay's first year so I don't see how it will improve this time.

We obviously need a WR but I don't see a player that we absolutely need to sign. I like Jarvis Landry but he will be too expensive to sign.. I hope we at least will look into Donte Moncrief or Paul Richardson - both players are good at going deep, which is what Jay is looking for.

I hope we will bring Phil Taylor back but we still should find more Dline players. I prefer for us to find it through draft instead of free agency. I like Bennie Logan but I don't want us to spend lot of money on a player who will not play all downs.

Unfortunately we don't have Kelce

skinsfaninok · 02-01-2018, 02:01 PM

Alfred Morris isn't any better than Kelley or Perine folks

On defense, what about DT Sheldon Richardson ?

Or Demarcus Lawrence, coming of a 14,5 sacks season? I'd say we need DT more than DE but we still could use him.

If we don't retain Zach Brown (which I would hate), I'm looking at Navorro Bowman and Demario Davis.

Other needs I'd address through the draft. (Except if there's a good Guard available but I won't pretend I know enough about this position on other teams to talk about it).

Priority 1 in Dallas is signing Zach Martin long term. Priority 1A is retaining D-Law. Not likely he will make it to free agency. At least I hope he doesn't.

Although the irony would be something. After all, it was a draft day trade with Washington that Dallas moved up to grab Demarcus Lawrence.

Id like to see Crowell yards after contact stat...think I have and it wasn't impressive.

Don't know about his yards after contact stat, he's not a huge physical back, but I really like his ability to quickly make a choice (usually the good one) and stick to it, make it work with his speed. He usually has a really good looking first cut to then burst through the hole.

sdskinsfan2001 · 02-01-2018, 02:23 PM

I could see us drafting The Guice from LSU in round 1 and I'd definitely be ok with it.
