Here is my outlandish hope for the skins.

1. We somehow are blessed...and get the Tight end from maryland...VERNON DAVIS in the draft. I have wanted him to become a redskin since he was in the beginning of his sophmore campaign at UMD.

2. We lock chris cooley up long term...so he never leaves...

3. We get some D-line help. I dont neccessarily mean an elite pass rushing DE. I would actually rather get 2 D-lineman in free agency/the draft for moderately sized contracts. One pass rushing D-end who is relatively young...and has not yet hit his prime (ie. has shown improvement in each of the years he's been in the NFL). And a good defensive tackle prospect/free agent.

4.. We get some O-line depth...maybe in the draft.

In my opinion our Wide Receiving core is fine...because if we ever got another good tight end a la Vernon Davis to go along with Cooley. Defenses would have sooo many problems covering our offense that Jacobs and Patten would have field days running around out there.

Just out of curiosity...i havnt really followed college football this season...being in france and all...so can someone tell me where Vernon Davis ranks in this years Tight End class...so that i can find out just how unrealistic my hopes of getting him actually are? (He is a junior this year by the way...so it is not a sure thing that he will declare for the draft)
