Redskins trade for Jason Taylor (updated)

[freddyg12]

While E. James has been mentioned in this thread, nobody has really said anything about him in relation to the "we should've addressed DE years ago" argument. I don't disagree w/that sentiment, but like Vinny said, they weren't going to draft solely on need if nobody is left that they like. That's the way the chips fell.

The reason I mention James is that he's a project that could come around for us. If he can regain health & form (it's been done before), we'll have a young DE that could be re-signed for the next 5 years or so. My point is, they didn't draft a DE high but they did take steps to acquire some recently - Wilson, Buzbee, James & drafting Rob Jackson.

Though he's a long shot, if Jackson makes the team & James starts to contribute, the same people will be praising the front office's inexpensive & efficient methods at filling the DE position while still drafting offensive weapons.
