That's on the LB's

He's no Sean Taylor but then ST was a supernova anyway, a once in a lifetime player...All we need is a decent starter I think Reed fills that role nicely...the schemes can be changed to play to Doughty's strengths and weaknesses just like they did with Sean...We've got some outstanding young players in Landry, McIntosh, Rogers, Blades, etc...

Our priorities should be the O&D-line, then the O&D-line, then the O&D-line...oh and did I mention the O&D-line?

I'd love to see him prove me wrong but I really don't think that Doughty is the answer.

The 2 are so co-dependent it's hard to tell at times. Since you brought it up, maybe the coverage has been the bigger difference. We did start losing as soon as ST got hurt in the Philly game.

I do agree that Doughty isn't a long term answer. I think if it comes down to a decision between d-line & saftey they will pick the best player, just like last year w/LL.

[EARTHQUAKE2689]

depends on where we end up picking at. IF Kenny Phillips is the best available when we get to our pick then I would take him but if we have a chance at Glenn Dorsey or Chris Long I would be estatic of either one. But it will alll depend on who we go after in free agency as well. i.e. (DeAngelo Hall, Bernard Berrian, Asante Samuel)

[Staind]

the redskins need to look into getting some WRs also.

Sean Taylor will NEVER truly be replaced. but...ANY PRO BOWL SAFETYS HITTIN FREE AGENCY THIS YEAR? lol.

doughty shouldn't be starting for an nfl team. he's a solid player, a good tackler (And i guy i absolutely wanted and said we'd draft), but he's slow for the nfl. good backup, good special teamer.

i think DE, OL, and CB are more important though. springs and lloyd are probably getting tossed, so depth or a quality starter there is important. DE is obviously the most important spot still, since daniels is old and average and carter is a bit light (but he's playing MUCH better than last year). OL is obvious, since we've got age and injury concerns up and down there.

not that another great safety would be a bad idea, but 2nd and 3rd rounders at LB and S can be good quality starters pretty easily (marcus washington etc). 3rd round Gs and Cs can be good starters fairly easily as well.

I'm not against the skins drafting a safety, but there are other areas of need too. In no particular order we need oline help, a playmaker at WR (in the redzone), safety, CB (if springs is gone), and DE.

I don't know how the rest of the season will go, but I get the feeling that we need alot of help and not too many draft choices to use.
