Also, NIU's Garrett Wolfe is a small guy with great speed and elusiveness, and could return kicks for us. These guys could both fall 3rd round or later, so theres no need to resign either Betts or Duckett. However its a buyers market for backs right now, so I expect them to let Betts and Duckett test the water, and sign back relatively cheaply.
Good God, man -- we have to draft defense next year, don't we?

Betts is as good as gone, and no way will the Skins let go of Duckett after what they gave up to get him. Cartwright will spend one more season in Washington, then he'll be elsewhere.

But the focus HAS to be on the defense -- 2 defensive linemen, 2 linebackers, 2 corners, a safety ... a complete overhaul is needed.
