My Redskins Wish List

Any chance Long will be there in the middle of the first round?

I think we'll end up with a better pick than 15ish... I like Long, but i also like the safety out of the U...not sure he'd want to come here though

RE: Campbell improving- If he works as hard as he did this past offseason and improves by the same measure, we'll be more than set at QB. He's still so young and he's making some boneheaded throws. But he does have us in position to win. He'll work hard this summer and get better. Have faith.

I agree.

I said to a friend the other day that JC is this close (holding my fingers an inch apart) from being a top QB.

He's come a long way in a short amount of time, and I think at times this year we've forgotten that and we tend to focus on the negatives. He just needs to take that final step and he will be a true franchise QB.

With another offseason of hard work he'll be much closer next year.

Here is my hope for the Redskins 1st round pick next year:

Roger Godell qoute: "With the first pick in the 2008 nfl draft the Washington Redskins select Calais Campbell - Defensive End - Miami Hurricanes"

Calais Campbell*, Miami
Height: 6-8. Weight: 282.
40 Time: 4.77.
Projected Round: Top 5 Pick.
Some of his measurables compare to Julius Peppers'. Recorded 11 sacks in 2006. He's only a rising junior, meaning he's got room to grow. That's scary because I just don't see how NFL teams, particularly ones with lesser offensive tackles, are going to contain him.

As far as trading picks I think we should not trade any more picks - why not let our cap get a little relief for once and at the same time get guys who are young and right out of college and build from within? I know that getting a big name player like a Hall could plug a hole at corner, but why not let the scouting department try to prove its worth at finding some gems in the draft? If I am not mistaken wasn't Asante Samuel taken in like the fourth round?

All I am trying to say is picks in rounds 2-4 can really contribute and they come at a relative bargain price wise - lets try this route for once and let the NFL players who "just want to get paid" go somewhere else for a change.

I would keep our picks too. Hopefully Gibbs and company have learned their lesson.

I wish we could finish games.

How come you don't think the safety from the U will come here?

Does anyone believe Montgomery, Golston or Wilson have a chance of eventually making an impact in this league? Or all they all evidence of how thin our D-line is?

Wilson is just a pass rusher at this point, he still needs time to develop into an every down defensive end. Golston and Montgomery still need to develop too. As for offensive tackle, I think we should give Heyer time to grow, he's impressed me so far because he was an undrafted rookie and he's managed to get this far.

I think Montgomery has been impressive and he's come a long way in a very short period of time. Golston appears to be a solid guy in a rotation, and Wilson has shown promise as a 3rd down pass rusher.

We're certainly sitting a lot prettier right now when compared to last year at this time as far as the defensive line goes. People were ready to slit their wrists when talking about the d-line last year, amazing where a little patience will get you, along with some smart late round drafting.
