Quick Hitters:

Patrick Ramsey - played well in relief on 12/24/05 during the blowout win over the Giants. Saw limited mop-up duty in two other games after beginning the season as the starter. Not likely to be back with the Redskins in 2006.

Grade: Incomplete

Rock Cartwright - solid on special teams and filled in well when called upon at RB. Had a career day against the Rams on 12/4/05 when he rushed for 118 yards on just 9 carries. While he seems to be a favorite of the coaching staff, he could be pushed for his spot in camp by last year's 7th round pick Nehemiah Broughton.

Grade: B

James Thrash - another high performer on special teams, Thrash is also a reliable veteran in the passing game at times. At this point in his career though he's a #4 WR at best. Thrash has always been known for his work ethic and is a good locker room presence.

Grade: C+

David Patten - had his season cut short by injury, but even when he was healthy he was a bit of an enigma. Patten was becoming frustrated with his role with the team before his injury and it should be interesting to see how he fits in with Al Saunders' offense in 2006. The Redskins will likely look to acquire another WR to compete for the #2 spot.

Grade: Incomplete

Antonio Brown - world class speed but he's still raw when it comes to the fundamentals. Assigned to NFL Europe this offseason to hopefully hone his skills. Contributed a huge kick return for a score in week 12 against the Cardinals, but at other times he was a fumble just waiting to happen.

Grade: C-

Taylor Jacobs - a former 2nd round draft pick, Jacobs could be on his last legs with the Redskins. When Patten went down Jacobs had a golden opportunity to step in and claim the job, but he did nothing but solidify the opinions fans have formed about him. Soft, lacking confidence, often injured... 3 traits that will get you run out of town very quickly in any NFL city.

Grade: F

Nick Novak - hit on 5/7 field goals including the game winner in OT against Seattle in week 3 while filling in for the injured John Hall. A local product from Maryland, Novak was a nice early season success story. Novak caught on with the Cardinals once Hall was healthy filling in for Neil Rackers.

Grade: B

Ray Brown - Brown was called upon late in the season when Randy Thomas went down and he filled in admirably. There was an understandable dropoff in production from Thomas to Brown, but the 42 year old Brown proved he could still hold his own with guys half his age as he closed out a remarkable career in 2005. Brown gets a 'A' here as a tribute to his stellar career.

Grade: A
