How do we replace Sean Taylor?

I'm thinking in terms of the NFL giving us picks of some kind in the draft, and how would this whole thing impact our salary cap?

I think someone posted that ST will cost us around 2.4 million next year. Sa for a draft pick that would not be fair to other team even though this was a tragic loss other teams have had to deal with loosing players to death, injusries, etc... I do think the NFL should change the rules concerning the cap issues for team that loose players because of death or and maybe include career ending injuries.

You must be kidding? The lost of Sean Taylor is going against the Redskin's salary cap. That's just not right. That's a double slap in the face.

It will be next to impossible to replace Taylor's athleticism and ball hawking abilities but the Skins are not without talent at safety. LaRon Landry has developed nicely and can get better. He seems to have the talent to move over to free safety. I like Reed Doughty. He is not as talented as Landry or Taylor but he is a solid player. He is in position. Supports the run well. Is not getting toasted. I wouldn't panic and say safety is a priority. Defensive and offensive line depth are priorities. A physical play making receiver with size is a priority.
