Projected Lineup... Your thoughts?

My biggest thing is that I hope the best players get a shot. For me, it started with Gibbs 2.0, they had their guys, they drafted guys, and the drafted players had almost no shot. Don't draft a guy if you have no intention of giving them game experience. Most people thought LeRibeus acquitted himself pretty well against Seattle. I'm not advocating for someone to play based on draft status, but was there any reason that Gettis/LeRibeus/Compton shouldn't have gotten some game experience (ESPECIALLY when RG3 was shut down)?

IMO, you'll never know what you get in late round draft picks if you don't play them. Maybe they bust, but maybe you get a diamond in the rough. I mean hell, would we even know Alfred Morris's name if it wasn't for injury?

With a new coaching staff there's bound to be some unpredictable shakeup. Considering the focus on the OL so far it seems likely they aren't that impressed by what was on the field last year so I wouldn't be surprised by anything there outside of LT.

Let's hope moses is half as good as trent is. Btw I wonder where he will be rated on the top 100 list? I'd say 50 ish.

I don't see Moses starting. I think the right side on opening day will be Gettis and Polumbus.

I also think Chris Baker will start over Jenkins, who to be honest I wouldn't be surprised doesn't make the final roster

Put the best players on the field, regardless of draft status, age or contract. I know we all want the young guys on the field. However, if Chester shows up and plays better than Gettis or Long then he should start. If Moses outplays Polumbus then he should start. I really hope Gruden takes a page from Pete Carroll and preaches pure competition. This team won 3 games last year. No jobs should be safe.

Agree agree agree +10000000

Silverback is the only guy who Id plug in at Oline. I'd rather the Oline stay unperdictable meaning its a wide open competition at every spot.

How the Washington Redskins' draft picks fared - ESPN (http://espn.go.com/blog/washington-redskins/post/_/id/7793/how-the-redskins-draft-picks-fared?utm_medium=twitter&utm_source=twitterfeed)

I don't disagree with this ^. Gruden isn't going to be swayed by the memories folks have of how Jenkins impressed in his rookie camp before his injury; he will evaluate on what is happening with him right now. Baker showed more on the field late last year than Jenkins, I think.

Anyone hear anything about whether Carriker is going to get another look (assuming he's healthy enough)?

I believe that Jenkins is more talented than Baker, and I would also like to see Long as the LG, and Luavou move over to RG if we start a rookie at RT. If we start Compton or Polumbus at RT, then leave Long at RG. Point is, having a complete rookie Right side scares the hell out of me, I would definitely like to pair them up with a veteran. Id love a line that looked like this.

Silverback SpencerLong Gettis/Lichensteiger Luavo Moses


I put Gettis in there over Lichensteiger cause Lickenstiger is only 281 lbs, and Gettis is 297. Gettis is also younger, and can pass block better than Kory L. I just don't know how well he could function as a center, if he has the brain to call out schemes, or if Lichensteiger gets the job cause he is a smart guy and knows alot about picking up the rush. We will see, but I do hope the best guy gets the job. I don't think we picked up Moses to sit on the bench though, I believe he will be a day one starter after a good camp and preseason. It would be nice for RG3 to grow with this young group of Lineman and receivers. Our offense as a whole is super young, and that should be very exciting for even the run of the mill skins fan.

Well, I gave my O-line predictions in another thread, so here's my WR predictions. Unless we keep Hocker as a KO specialist or keep 4 TEs, I'm fairly confident that we'll keep 6 WRs.

#1 - Pierre Garcon. Obviously. As a note, while I don't expect numbers like he put up last year, I do think he'll certainly get Pro Bowl numbers again.

#2 - DeSean Jackson. Obviously. Can't wait to see him out there.

#3 - Andre Roberts. Was hoping we'd target him in FA and play him as a #2, so I'm pretty happy with him here.

#4 - Leonard Hankerson. I think if he gets injured sometime during the offseason, he'll be a definite late-cut possibility. But he's a solid receiver when healthy, and still only 25.

#5 - Aldrick Robinson. Not sure about this one. With the relatively young age of our WR corps, they might go with the veteran Moss over this guy for mentorship purposes, then draft another receiver sometime in the next few seasons to start developing. I dunno. If Robinson/Moss makes the roster, Ryan Grant might be in this spot over him/them.

#6 - Ryan Grant. Fairly certain he's a lock to make the 53-man roster, especially considering Gruden's praise about how he looked like a "10 year veteran" already. Maybe he could get a lot more playing time than I think. Maybe #4?

Same as the OL, much improvement. And to think I was considering the possibilities of maybe Hankerson as #2. LOL. What a relief. But again, what do I know?
