We need a mustang back there with our thoroughbred. Betts and Rock aint getting it done. There are 3 excellent playmaking backs in this draft we need one of them. The OL and DL can wait to the later rounds. I watch more college football than I do pro(except for the redskins). Those OL and DL in this draft are not that impressive. Majority take a lot of plays off and are overweight and lazy. Not your prototype Joe Gibbs, tough redskins players.
My point being we need to score more point with playmakers on offense, we need speed and durability i.e. percy harvin, Beanie Wells, Moreno. They are young monsters, playmakers, with speed. To me Harvin or Moreno would be the best fit because they are just like portis. We would not lose a step with them learning from and backing up portis in our style of play. Then portis could be the finisher in the redzone. Its all about scoring points in the NFL and running the ball. No 1st round OL or DL gonna do that! I rest my case for now. Hail to the Redskins!!!

It won't matter if there is no one to block for you. Clinton Portis is 27, always arrives in shape and has missed 9 games in 5 seasons with the Redskins (didn't miss a single game the last two seasons). The offensive line, on the other hand is a whole other story. It is one of the oldest units in the league and is losing its ability to be competitive fast. So thanks but no thanks, I would rather the Skins take a chance with an Andre Smith than risk Moreno/Harvin/Wells.
