As pointed out in another thread, your Belicheck-esque clandestine operation to infiltrate the boards and pass yourself off as a Redskins fan ("We did that with Lloyd and Archuleta...") is slightly undermined by your Patriots avatar :doh:.

Free agency can work if you get the right players and use them to compliment draft picks. The problem that the Redskins have had is trading away their picks more than "buying every single player." To a large extent that is a tired retort from people who don't follow the team (such as yourself) and a vestige of the Danny's early days in D.C.

Andre Carter, London Fletcher, Fred Smoot, Randy Thomas, Casey Rabach, Cornelious Griffin, Marcus Washington, Shawn Springs, etc. have all worked out pretty well in D.C. I might mention a team you're more familiar with (despite your very very clever attempt to hide your affiliation) and their signing/trading for Adalious Thomas, Randy Moss, Wes Welker, etc.

Go find a Patriots board dude, or at least get a better name, PerkyPerk makes me think I should hate you. Then your comments just confirm that.

SC, was this his official warpath welcome? lol!

I guess I'm off the welcoming committee :)

Everybody wants the sexy pick. But the games are still won in the trenches. I would be very happy if we could draft a quality guard to replace Kendall, and a pass rushing DE to replace Daniels. Chris Long would look real good in burgundy and gold. I love that guys mentality. He's a leader, and he's got a mean streak just like his dad.

If the Skins could get Chris Long I would literally run laps around my neighborhood singing the good news. If Long isn't a top 3 pick, however, then every personal person on those three teams should be fired. I watched him play all year and the guy is simply amazing. 14 sacks from a 3-4 end, getting double and triple teamed every play, relentless motor, great fast twitch, good leader. Much better prospect than Glenn Dorsey (IMHO) though I guess Dorsey was playing hurt for a good part of the year. Can't say enough good things about Chris Long. It would take a big trade for the Skins to be in position to get him (unfortunately).

Too right. We need to draft in the trenches. Guard and DE should be priority.

And BleedBurgundy, you are right about Blackadder - one of the greatest comedies ever made and Dr House's finest work.

wow lots of good points, thoughts and number-crunching research by everyone, i apreciate the educaton.

my thoughts, we will need help at CB, Oline, D line, safety, and to some degree a bigger WR.

- good o-line guys can be found outside of the draft (kendall, thomas, rabach all came from frugal smart pick ups)

- CB theres talent in FA for immediate help or we can draft a guy and pay him to not contribute for the first year or so

- D line, might have to look at the draft but none of last years 1st round guys have had an impact on their teams

- O line, i really like picking these guys up in the 2nd - 5th round of the draft

go skins!

Unless his stock falls hard between now & the draft. It's quite possible. The combine can do that to great college players. I remember Terrell Suggs stock falling when the scouts saw his 40 times, but he's had a pretty solid career w/Baltimore.

Since this thread mentioned the fa corners, it got me thinking, does anyone know Champ's cap situation in denver? It may sound crazy now, but he's been there 4 years & his deal might be backloaded. Plus, they signed a lot of big $ free agents during that time.

I would be surprised if he's cut, but if he's due a big bonus & they try to restructure him, who knows? I know it's unlikely he'd want to come back here, but the thought certainly has crossed my mind since Smoot came back. Those two are good friends.

yeah we'd be reaching for that to happen..but it has happened before...how about andre davis the reciever from houston?

I don't think it's such a lock that Springs is gone.

And if we do keep him, I still think we should draft a CB in the first round to groom into a starter in a year or two (Talib or Cason remain my favorites); though I keep hearing Derrick Harvey attached to the Redskins come draft time. Still early though.

If we do go the free agent route, I think we should keep any eye on Nnamdi Asomugha (sp?) from the Raiders. I think he can and will opt out. And he's the type of big, physical cornerback that Williams likes.

Not sure about Cason... Talib is very good however saw them both play this year.
