if we dont resign smoot...

Hmmm an intriguing thought... what would be the prospects of franchising Smoot and trading him for a solid Center or proven pass-rush DE?

Not sure if we could get a solid center or DE for Smoot, but that would be nice. The best case scenario would be to deal for a solid guy that is not happy on his current team (ie Portis last year).

PT.2
We do not need compensation for Smoot. Look at the top 3 teams this year: New England, Pittsburg and Philly. They each lost some important veterans from their D (Philly lost both of their starting CB's) this offseason, replaced them with cheaper players and they still are the best teams in the NFL. Lets not act like Smoot is irreplaceable.

That's true and considering how our defense played overall...I don't believe it would hurt us too much if Smoot goes....I would rather keep him though....

If the Redskins were looking at DRAFTING a center, I would look at Jason Brown from North Carolina. I was doing some research and this guy is a BEAST at 6'3", 330 lbs.

Here are the top prospects for centers and I know that Bugel knows how to mold them.

1 Ben Wilkerson Sr. LSU 6-4 300
2 Vince Carter Sr. Oklahoma 6-3 290
3 Greg Eslinger Jr. Minnesota 6-3 285
4 Richie Incognito Jr. Nebraska 6-3 300
5 Jason Brown Sr. North Carolina 6-3 330
6 Jason Respert Sr. Tennessee 6-3 310
7 Chase Johnson Sr. TCU 6-3 305
8 Drew Hogdon Sr. Arizona State 6-2 295
9 Jelani Clement Sr. Hampton 6-2 310
10 Alex Herron Sr. South Florida 6-3 280

Another quick thought...

"8(8). Washington Redskins

*Mathias Kiwanuka Defenisve End Boston College

Renaldo Wynn and Ron Warner are the starters so looking for a young stud to give the team a pass rush would be welcomed. Kiwanuka also adds the ability to disrupt the passing lanes even when he doesn't reach the quarterback. Kiwanuka has a rather large wingspan and he already stands 6'7, that is 4 inches taller than any defensive end currently on the Redskins roster."

6'7"?!?!? And I've never even heard of this guy.

I saw one BC game, he played alright. I really don't know much about him but have heard good things.

I want Richie Incognito. Simply for the name.

Incognito is transferring to Oregon or Oregon State, and is a head case.

jhold4th:

He is "transferring" because the Nebraske coaches told him to stay away from the program at Nebraska.

Sounds like a "problem child". And after the Redskins' extensive background invesitgation into the rehabilitation of Darrell Russell (remember that fiasco?), I don't think this is someone this franchise needs to take a chance on.
