THIS Years Free Agent Class Is Incredible!!

[TheMalcolmConnection]

I'm with everyone wanting OL though. I think we need to spend a low round pick on an elite prospect. I think we need to go guard without a doubt.

[MTK]

I definitely see a low key approach to free agency like we saw last year. Yeah, they really don't have a choice due to the cap, but I also think Gibbs has learned some hard lessons in free agency.

[TheMalcolmConnection]

If we keep Springs, I actually really like our secondary. I say keep Springs one more year, then draft a CB NEXT year. Since LL is looking so good at FS, maybe draft another SS in the later rounds.

THE SKY IS FALLING THE SKY IS FALLING THE SKY IS FALLING
why?
Peter King said so.
Oh yeah, like every year since FA started. Anyone who quotes that idiot is in need of an internet connection. He has predicted doom and gloom and over the cap every year. Should we sign a bunch of talentless hacks at $10 mil a piece? no
could we? yes
Unlike in my personal life, my team has more money than brains. Don't worry about the cap with the Danny. Worry more about where the money goes.

Bonecrusher,
Just as a heads up, as i see you are new. ANYTHING CrazyCanuck or Schneed10 say about the cap should be treated as law. These two guys know what they are talking about. They keep as good books on our players salaries as anyone but maybe Danny himself.

Dude we have enough secondary...good secondary..we need a pass rusher and a great wideout..maybe a lineman..lets stop getting unneeded position players

It's already been said, but successful teams are built from the lines up. That's the foundation and without it, everything else is smoke and mirrors.

Everybody wants the sexy pick. But the games are still won in the trenches. I would be very happy if we could draft a quality guard to replace Kendall, and a pass rushing DE to replace Daniels. Chris Long would look real good in burgundy and gold. I love that guys mentality. He's a leader, and he's got a mean streak just like his dad.

Too right. We need to draft in the trenches. Guard and DE should be priority.

And BleedBurgundy, you are right about Blackadder - one of the greatest comedies ever made and Dr House's finest work.

I think that the redskins need to go straight from the draft and stop buying every single player that looks good at the time. We did that with Lloyd and Archuleta and haven't done shit. If you go from the draft you can get talented rookies to play the positions the skins need the most and the coaching can build them up to be great players.

As pointed out in another thread, your Belicheck-esque clandestine operation to infiltrate the boards and pass yourself off as a Redskins fan ("We did that with Lloyd and Archuleta...") is slightly undermined by your Patriots avatar .

Free agency can work if you get the right players and use them to compliment draft picks. The problem that the Redskins have had is trading away their picks more than "buying every single player." To a large extent that is a tired retort from people who don't follow the team (such as yourself) and a vestige of the Danny's early days in D.C.

Andre Carter, London Fletcher, Fred Smoot, Randy Thomas, Casey Rabach, Cornelious Griffin, Marcus Washington, Shawn Springs, etc. have all worked out pretty well in D.C. I might mention a team you're more familiar with (despite your very very clever attempt to hide your affiliation) and their signing/trading for Adalious Thomas, Randy Moss, Wes Welker, etc.

Go find a Patriots board dude, or at least get a better name, PerkyPerk makes me think I should hate you. Then your comments just confirm that.

If the Skins could get Chris Long I would literally run laps around my neighborhood singing the good news. If Long isn't a top 3 pick, however, then every personal person on those three teams should be fired. I watched him play all year and the guy is simply amazing. 14 sacks from a 3-4 end, getting double and triple teamed every play, relentless motor, great fast twitch, good leader. Much better prospect than Glenn Dorsey (IMHO) though I guess Dorsey was playing hurt for a good part of the year. Can't say enough good things about Chris Long. It would take a big trade for the Skins to be in position to get him (unfortunately).

Unless his stock falls hard between now & the draft. It's quite possible. The combine can do that to great college players. I remember Terrell Suggs stock falling when the scouts saw his 40 times, but he's had a pretty solid career w/Baltimore.
