Griffin's impact on the off-season FA/draft

[GTripp0012]

No one here has been watching Brandon Carr longer than I have, and he's a legit 1a CB in the NFL, but at a salary approaching something like Ike Taylor's contract, I'd let him sign elsewhere and keep the salary cap space. We're not committed enough to man-to-man principles to get value on Brandon Carr.

You know who would be a good pickup in FA? Steve Smith, the one most recently of the Eagles.

He didn't do anything last year though

More a product of the overall dysfunction of the Eagles, then anything he did or didn't do.

Not at all , the reason the Giants didn't throw money at him was becuase of his devastating knee injury and they wanted to see how he would heal well looks as if the Giants were correct in their medical evaluation of him,basicly he stole 2 million from the Eagles.



P.S.

Terrel Thomas will resign with the Giants they are very close to a deal.

P.S.S. We don't care in this thread.




Are you ready for 2012, where the Giants have the second-best QB in the NFC East?

Id make sure we get one of vjax, Colston or garçon as well as Royal. Get Grubbs and I think we're a playoff team honestly.

Vjax/moss/gaffney/royal along with Davis Cooley and helu are plenty of weapons for rg3

bigger money:
tulloch, carr, maybe VJ (but there are some flags there)

the cheaper guys:
meachem, royal, henderson, safety (there's like 7 very average guys, which is better than what we had last year).

of course, RT is a big need, so McNeil or harris would be a good idea. I think harris, carr, and ILB (whether fletcher or tulloch) are the big money guys (maybe VJ) and then we grab meachem at a mid level deal and 2-3 average level safeties, hoping one of them works out.

I really think #1 CB and then RT are our biggest holes (you can win without stud WRs).

draft OL in the 3rd. BA after that...

oh and laurent or whatever his name is on the roids...

I agree w all except I'd take VJax and garcon or maybe royal

Off season target positions: RT swing OT, Safety, DL, OG, ILB, WR/TE, CB, QB

Offensive focus: Increasing 'explosive' plays

The sure fire way to increase everyone's productivity as individuals and as an offensive unit (including the coaching staff) is physical superiority at the POA.
For me the A#1 area that holds the offense back is the OL and particularly RT.
Shotty pass protection, average to below average run blocking and no depth.
Its a very sad state of affairs when Stephon Heyer has been the best player at that position over the last few years.* Team Needs 2012...Washington Redskins | ProFootballFocus.com

According to nfl.com the Redskins were last in deep ball passer rating of 25.4*. Exit Interview: Offensive issues root of the Redskins' woes | NFL.com
Robert Griffin's velocity and deep ball distance/touch alone should improve those numbers.
But, the surest way to help the QB, especially a rookie QB, is to protect him.
One of the overlooked reason for Cam Newton's success in Carolina was outstanding pass protection.

Enough of the pre-amble.
My number 1 offseason need is RT.

I love Reggie Smith he could prove to be the steal of the draft but he also could prove to be nothing more then Stephon Heyer quality depth but merely a marginal starter.
But, imo were not in a position to gamble on Smith when the in house alternative, Jammal Brown, is a gamble in his own right.
Short of an outright long term upgrade, I think we owe it to Griffin to afford him the best RT we can find even if their only a stop gap.

But the RT FA pickings for an outright upgrade are slim and maybe the best we can do is quality depth?

Defensive focus: Shoring up the back end of the secondary and improving overall i.e. DL

The safety play wasn't terrible net-net I think it was much better then the RT play.
Yet, we a have FA in Landry that is a huge injury risk and a starter in Atogwe that also an injury risk and only 1 serviceable back-up in Doughty.

FA:
RT:
Demetrius Bell (upgrade), Jared Gaither (upgrade but high risk), Khalif Barnes (steady), Vernon Carey (slight upgrade?/steady player)

WR: Eddie Royal-
not a big interest for me in a big name FA WR, I'm assuming Hankerson comes back healthy and look forward to watching how a healthy Moss, Gaffney, Armstrong work together with a developing Hankerson, Paul, Ausitn and Robinson

S:
Reggie Smith, Corey Lynch, Brandon Meriweather, Craig Steltz, Haruki Nakamura, Zbikowski, Atari Bigby

NT:
I love Cofield but I believe the greatest benefit to the DL would occur if there was a good enough player at NT to move Cofield to DE.

Sione Pouha, Paul Soliai, Aubrayo Franklin

Draft:

Round 3- Harrison Smith S, Mychal Kendricks ILB, Mitchell Schwartz OT

Round 4-Alameda Ta'aamu NT, Brandon Brooks OG, Matt McCants

Round 4-Chris Rainey (?), Aaron Henry S, Tommy Streeter WR, Lardarius Green, Cyrus Gray RB

Round 5- (Should Vontaze Burifect fall swoop him up)*
Micheal Egnew TE, Nate Potter OT, Ryan Broyles WR, Terrance Ganaway FB/RB, Marvin McNutt WR, AJ Jenkins WR, Ron Brooks CB, Coty Sensabaugh

Round 6-UDFA: Chris Owusu WR
BPA

[Ruhskins]

I would pick Soliai over Pouha or Franklin, but he may be expensive. Right now I'd only be willing to spend $$ on a safety or a LB (if we don't sign Fletcher) on defense.

Okay, crazy idea hour. Maybe the worst idea I've ever had:

The Redskins should trade for DeSean Jackson.
