How much freaking fun would it be to see the skins scoring close to 30 points a week? if a team concentrates on the run we've got brunell/ramsey throwing the ball to Coles, Gardner, Mccants, and possibly Winslow. We've up close how much a player like shockey can do to an opposing teams defense so why not draft a TE who is better than shockey and even harder to guard? just my 2 cents

Defense wins games and championships. Look at both Super bowl participants this year and the winner the year before. The media whined all week before the super bowl because the fan favorites (because of their offense) Colts, Chiefs and Eagles got beat (soundly) in the playoffs. Manning got intercepted like 4 times? The Chief were embarrassed.
I also seem to remember the WR Taylor Jacob fans after the draft last year saying the same thing you are saying now, 'This going to be fun, with Coles, Gardner, Jacobs, McCants and Johnson who are they going to double cover? The offense is going to score a hundred points a game, etc. etc.'
What good is scoring 40 points a game if your defense gives up 41?
Neither one of the two super bowl champions had/have a TE to remember.
Pro bowl TE's Gonzalez and Shockey etc. were sitting at home watching the game on TV. Patriots and Carolina's defense got them to the superbowl. The Skins need to stop ignoring their defense's needs in order to get the next Taylor Jacobs.
