... just because he said we still need a 1 or 2 WR doesnt mean he said get rid of moss.
Getting rid of a gamebreaker like Santana moss would be clearly going backwards. YOU ADD TO WHAT YOU GOT! KEEP SANTANA ALL DAY!
Santana needs help... not to be replaced.

Moss would be filthy as a slot receiver. I think Kelly will evolve into a starter, but I'm still unsure about Thomas. Ideally, I'd like to see Kelly-#1, ?-#2, and Moss as our #3/slot receiver.

its crossed my mind... just solely the idea of what Moss what be like in the slot....it would be disgusting i hear you...

realisticly not seeing anything from our rookie WRs leaves me with some concern that were not OK at the WR spot...
it will be clearer this year...
but id hate to have to complain about it next season if we dont see production this upcoming season... especially because most here seem to think we shouldnt worry...
im hopeful... but its not like anyone saw something i didnt...because both players seemed invisible this year.

id say.. Trade Randle El (although i dont mind him), Get Rid of James Thrash..
and scoop TJ Housh thru FA but i doubt well nab em..
(along with hoping our OLine problems are fixed in the offseason as well)
Santana/Houshmandzadeh/Thomas/Kelly= Would be a serious core.

Why not put El in the slot

IMO, if the Eagles have proven anything it's that you can be a consistent playoff team with capable wr's. That's what we have. Wr is the most overrated position in football.

Curry looks good, but I think it's a must we draft an OT at 13. Unless we're able to trade 13 for a later 1st and a 2nd, we must draft OT first.

The Redskins need to upgrade at offensive line, defensive line and linebacker. The Skins invested heavily in Devin Thomas and Malcolm Kelly and they need to improve in the off season. Typically it takes wide receivers three years to breakthrough. Unfortunately, the Skins can't wait that long. They need one of these guys to step up now.

markymark · 01-13-2009, 11:01 AM

we have capable tackles right now that would be fine for the 2009 season its the interior of the line that needs the upgrade. i like randy thomas a lot but the injuries are starting to pill up and hes not as good as i think he once was. kendell i was never a big fan of and rabach hasnt panned out that well either. between jj heyer and samuels our tackles should be alright if we can move jj to right guard and draft a LG and center i think our line would be alright. but that that siad jj would have to adjust and our line would have growing pains.

Sorry but have to disagree with you. RT is a huge need. It was basically a small speed bump for pass rushers on the right side this year. If we are stuck with JJ and Heyer then it will be another long disappointing season.

I don't see any reason to add to our WR corps unless we can get a FA on the cheap. I do agree we need help here, but we have to address other areas first. Our only hope is that Devin or Kelly make huge strides this offseason and aren't the busts that I am afraid they are going to be.

IMO we have 4 picks. I would use them all on lineman and a LB depending on what is the best available at that pick.

SKINSFAN63 · 01-13-2009, 05:59 PM

JAKE2008: Yes I agree on lineman but what we truly need to do in the draft is trade down and accumulate alot more picks trade that bum Betts for a 3rd and 4th rd pick trade FA nd then maybe sign Edgerin James to help Portis out and maybe sign D Ward away from the Gmen

SKINSFAN63 · 01-13-2009, 06:05 PM

I say we sign D Hall and sign Duanta Robinson away from the texans

cooleyforthescore · 01-13-2009, 11:19 PM

seriously??? really??? receivers and running backs? no. we won't win the super bowl next year so let the kids develop.

please.

redskinsrob · 01-14-2009, 09:15 AM

I agree that Thomas and Kelly both need to step up in a hurry. If you look around the league at the great qb-reciever tandoms, these guys spend their off-seasons working with each other on timing routes on their own time. There are a lot of little details that can be worked between the qb and reciever this way. Hopefully the rookies are serious about winning and will want to do anything they can to improve. It would be killer to have Moss in the slot running crossing patterns and quick slants. His YAC would kill defenses. As far as the offseason moves for the FO they have to draft heavy on both lines. Maybe trade back for extra picks to grab a LB.

Twilbert07 · 01-14-2009, 09:21 AM

I know this thread is about needs, but some of our top goals should be:
1) Beat the lousy teams on our schedule
2) Go at least 6-2 at home
3) Don't lose two games in a row all season (Falcons did it.)
4) Beat the Falcons, so I can get in the face of all my Falcon fan friends down here
