Redskins Free Agents Signings Thread

If we get Penn, Id be all for a WR in the second round, or the best guard available. It seems we are slowly piecing together a defense with FA's and castoffs, so that Gruden can have HIS type of guys on O. Its definitely one way to do things, but a patchwork secondary scares the crap out of me.

Washington Redskins Draft Profiles: Xavier Grimble, TE - Hogs Haven

This is a good draft for TEs, there are plenty of TEs better than Grimble. I would use a 3rd or 4th round pick on a good TE...... Nicklas, CJ Fiedorowitz,

It blows my mind that we get Tracy porter and people are talking about taking a WR in the 2nd and TE in the 3-4th. Seems like to me our porous secondary from last season is our most glaring issue. The first couple rounds need to address safety and cornerback IMO

I don't think it's a very deep or good draft for that and we went defense last year so I don't think there going to draft another young safety.

I understand.

However, I'd almost bet my monthly paycheck that a WR will be our first pick, whether we like it or not. Just as his brother is a QB collector, Jay Gruden in Cincy was a receiver collector. The argument that RGIII really could use another elite weapon will win the day.

I personally think it is a good argument - in today's NFL, the team with the most weapons often wins. But I also would have signed a good FA safety.

Hopefully we will nab a FS like Terrence Brooks in the third.

Penn is at Redskins Park. Probably will know something tomorrow.

I am not under the illusion Porter is a good CB, however they now have 2 veteran CBs, and 2 young ones (Amerson + Crawford)... possibly Minnifield. Also the CB depth in this draft is questionable. Who would you take in the 2nd ?

I would not pick a WR with the 2nd round pick, if a great player slips to the second round I take him... otherwise trade down, and add picks . They still need help everywhere.

I agree , Im hoping OL , DB , DL or LB in rd 2 . Our first 2 picks should contribute this year and make an impact . We could add 3 WR's and it won't mean squat if or OL and Defense are weak .

We could trade down in the second round and still take a good WR with our first pick. IMO we will do this.

That would be nice , add another pick in rd 3 or 4 . I hope we go OL and Defense early .
