Draft Forum Now Open!

I generally don't like rookie WRs. They are hit and miss, and take a long time to develop even when they're hits.

I'd rather see us get a WR via free agency and draft the other positions.

I can see where you're coming from....especially with our luck drafting WR's. Almost all of them didn't pan out.


But this kid Calvin Johnson is the real deal. I think he's worth the risk.

Bottom line is, we need someone to compliment Moss, and it would be nice if he had some size.

I agree. I'd like to see the Skins take a chance on 1 or 2 of these guys...

WIDE RECEIVERS

Reggie Wayne Colts 27
Koren Robinson Vikings 25
Keenan McCardell Chargers 35
Joe Jurevicius Seahawks 31
Antwaan Randle El Steelers 26

Wayne would probably cost big money, but he would be worth it. He would love the Redskins "U" movement. And would put up pretty good numbers opposite Moss.

Robinson will cost a lot less, and he looks like he has turned his career back around. He post some good numbers in MIN and probably doesn't want to go through the change over there. He would also be a very good option opposite Moss.

McCardell is getting up in years, but he has an uncanny connection with Brunell. I watched those two play together in JAX, reminds me of how Manning and Harrison seem to know what each other are thinking. As a possession receiver he would be solid. And after all Gibbs did draft him.

Jurevicius would be another good option as a possession receiver. His size would give Brunell an easy target for 1st downs and in the Red Zone.

Randle El would really help to open up our offense. We would be able to stretch the field from both sides. He is also very dangerious in the return game.

Out of the one's on your list, which is good put together, I think the Skins would only consider Randle El (dual capability) and Wayne (I think Gibbs is pretty warm to guys from the "U", and I haven't heard anything negative about Wayne) We can count on Portis and the boys lobbying to get him in D.C.

Ranlde El is intriguing. Another option might be to draft a guy like Hagans from UVa. He is a lot like Randle El. Decent college QB with good speed and maybe good hands. He'll play WR is the NFL if he has the hands. He played WR his sophomore year when they had Schaub so he has a little experience at it. His combine performance will tell where he goes but is almost certainly a 2nd day guy. A project but we're talkign about our 3rd WR right now probably so a project at the 3rd spot is ok.
I wouldn't draft a WR in the first round most years and this year is no different. OL and DL should be the focus early.
