Well, obviously we have to focus on defense because it's what been carrying Redskins through out the season.. However I think some of those names would be fine such as Shawn Springs, Marcus Washington, Kedric Golston, and Reed Doughty..

Yes, Springs and Washington are old and are well known for injuries.. But it does not stop them from being our key defenders.. I truly do believe Springs will be back and I am certain Washington will still be with us.. But the question remains for Griffin, as much I love this guy.. I hope we will keep him for next season (if we do, next season will be his last), but Redskins surprised us with releasing Salave'a.. So it is possible..

I'm kind of surprised with some people regarding Kedric, he has been pretty good for us this year.. Just like last year, only little better.. I have noticed when Anthony and Kedric plays together, they tend to clog interior up.. I think we should try and discover another gem DT later in 5th or 6th rd.. Or even 7th..

Reed Doughty: I have to admit I am absolutely impressed with him.. He was left with a HUGE, a REALLY HUGE shoes to fill in.. Granted he did not do things what Sean did (in fact there are nobody who can do things like Sean could) but he did not blew the games for us except perhaps 1st game against Cowboys.. He stayed within his limits and he pretty much did good as SS.. He even shut down Shaun Alexander, Witten, and few others.. I do not think we should draft another safety this year, we should wait until next year..

As for LB positions, I think this is the position we should be concerned about most.. There re pretty high chances of Rocky not playing next year, we probably should bring in a vet or maybe draft a lb in 2nd rd or 3rd (I prefer this choice).. So that way we can groom him for all LB positions, and then he can fill in Washington's position once either we release him or he leaves..
