State of the Redskins, huh ... let's see, it's March 21st ... the off-season workouts have begun ... the 'Skins have 4 picks in the upcoming draft ... and minimal Cap Room to work with ... and we are still somehow the media favorites to land Jay Cutler ... boy, some reputations die hard, if at all.

Let's see ...

1) The interior of the D-Line has been seriously upgraded ...
2) The Linebacker corp is suspect ...
3) The Secondary could be one of the better ones around ... and one of the youngest
4) The Wide Receivers are still a giant ?
5) The Running game is still solid ...
6) The O-Line is still old ...
7) The QB is beginning his 2nd season in a new Offensive scheme ... again!!
8) The FO still amazes us with what they are able to do ... and not do ... every offseason ...

Yep, sounds about right ...

OK, now for a few somewhat serious observations / pronostications:

1) Get over the idea of Jay Cutler coming here ... it ain't happenin' ... we don't have the Cap flexibility to do it ... we're going with what we have.
2) My guess is, unless we trade down and pick up more picks, our draft will look something like:

1st - SOLB - it's where we need a starting-caliber young player the most ...
2nd - to Miami Dolphins (Jason Taylor)
3rd - LDE - it's where we need a starting-caliber young player the second most ...
4th - to New York Jets (Pete Kendall)
5th - OT - 'Skins will take a solid, but unspectacular, lineman here and groom him for a season ...
6th - Best O-Lineman still available ...
7th - to Minnesota Vikings (Erasmus James)
Comp pick - Best Player Available for DL, LB or OL

If anything, I just have this feeling that the moves we've been making are geared towards an uncapped year in '10 ... just a hunch ... then again, maybe flatulence ...

HTTR !!
