Yeah, we kind of screwed ourselves.
First, there was no good reason for making that deal. We thought we could add an impact player for the price of a second round pick...well an impact player is what you make of it. Blache didn't use Jason Taylor as a unit of talent, he went plug and play.
Which is fine, but don't spend a second round pick if your coordinator is looking for freely available talent.
Now, oddly enough, the Redskins are looking for a unit of talent on the defense. Right now, Andre Carter is your sack threat. If Andre gets hurt...well, then we are right back where we were last year with blitzing every play with players who aren't suited to do that.
Jason Taylor as a LB/backup RE would have filled that need. Instead, we have 8.5 million to spend to go replace him, and no where to spend the money.
So basically, the best available option to fill our lone defensive need is through the draft. But with Willis signing back in Seattle, that draft pick seems needed on offense as well.
Oh well, maybe somebody makes a terrible trade with us to move up and grab a terrible player like Mark Sanchez. There are front offices that are stupid enough to do that, right?
