I think our receiving corps is just fine. Brandon Lloyd isn't tiny. Moreover, tall receivers are good red zone threats, but Cooley and Sellers fill that role nicely. Besides, the original smurfs did fine by me.

Tall receivers cause match up problems. As cornerbacks remain around 5'10" in height, the taller and more physical a receiver is in relationship to average corner's height, the harder it is to defend again short routes and deep/jump balls.

So a 6'5" receiver with a 45 in vertical and 4.3 speed would be a nightmare to gameplan against, especially if the opposite receiver to him is Santana!!!

With CJ on our team, opposing defensive coordinators with have to "pick their poison."

Skins will trade up to draft GT WR Calvin Johnson and lose next year's first round selection...

I just hope that we draft someone who's going to catapult this team to the SB. Calvin Johnson, and Alan Branch to a lesser degree, seems to fit that bill. Putting that into perspective, we seem to be more than one player away from scaring opponents. Maybe the only reason we took a stepback last year is because we had to work Jason Campbell into the starting lineup. And with the defense faltering as it did, we lost games that Campbell didn't lose himself.

trading up to the #1 pick to get J.Russel wouldn't be a smart idea because campbell towards the end of the year was starting to be more and more confident running the offense, i'd hate to re-start at square one. I would be interested, however, in drafting Joe Thomas from Wisconsin, that is my big college team, and I think it would help to sign him. I just don't believe that Russel would be a proper fit to the Redskins offense. I would make a consideration to pick up a quarterback later on in the draft, such as John Stocco form `consin or another player along those lines because he will fill in for to old to play brunell
