Commanders Post at The Warpath - View Single Post - Should all 4 draft picks be used for Defense?

We found a QB. We're loaded at RB. The offensive line seems to be playing well. We have a decent TE. There might even be some hope in our pile of wide receivers. Maybe if we can teach Brandon a 4th route, his catches will double? Or get him glasses so he can see the ball isn't thrown 10 yards short?

Our defense was dead last against the pass, and imitated a speed bump for Tiki Barber last weekend. In theory, the coach there is pretty good so you gotta assume we have lost our horses. Maybe if we could get our hands on a top corner like Champ Bailey? Haha.

The biggest mistake made by Gibbs was day 1: passing on Steven Jackson (scouted as a real power runner) and trading Bailey for Portis. Of course, Bailey was unhappy so our hands were somewhat tied.

Anyway, have to agree: we need serious quality and depth on defense. Maybe keep our eye out for a lineman. Please don't draft the "superstar" WR! That would be a typical Redskin blunder. KC has gone years in this offense without a decent WR and done "ok".
