Redskins 2018 O/S needs post Alex Smith Trade.

After analyzing last years performance in Seattle, I believe we should pursue Sheldon Richardson as a 3 technique starter and rotational player.

During this past season, the problem was that we had one true playmaker on the DLine ( Jonathan Allen), when he went down, it completely changed the defense. Having an elite playmaker, like Richardson and drafting a player like Da'Ron Payne to play the NT would greatly strengthen the defense and ease the pressure on the secondary.

In the mock drafts ive seen and did myself on fanspeak, all the running backs I would want are gone by round 4. Need to draft a stud in the 1st 2 rounds.

I would make a run at signing RB Carlos Hyde in FA. He could be the feature back here, IMHO. At 6'0" and 235 pounds, he should hold up. I might even try to sign Chris Ivory if I couldn't get Hyde's signature (The Jags are expected to release Ivory).

I’ve seen plenty of him, I have mixed feelings about him. Would rather draft a young stud.

I'd really like signing Richardson. He's still young too. Strengthen this D and start from the trenches!

Why not go for a NT? Bennie Logan and Dontari Poe should both be available.

Because my mind is a bit locked on wanting to switch to a 4-3.

But yeah you're 100% right if we're gonna stay in the 3-4, we need a true NT.

Dontari Poe was available last year, didn't get a lot of love here, I have no idea what kind of year he had with Atlanta...

Jonathan Allen 6-3 290 DT
Stacy McGee 6-3 340 DE/DT
Matt Ionnidis 6-3 305 DT

i'd much prefer not to spend this money . . . Ioannidis and Lanier will both most likely continue to make strides and are far far far cheaper options . .. sign or draft (preferable) a true NT and this line will already make huge strides . . . the 10 mill per year Richardson wants would be better spent at ILB, WR or CB IMO
