I like Carr, but he is young and teams may overpay for him. Too band the chiefs tagged Bowe though. Also definitely like Royal, but VJ could be a headache?

Also, if we had a crappy first round pick, I'd use it in a second on Mike Wallace(first round tender). Who looks a whole lot better now that Blackmon is barely 6'0, and slower then Wallace.

I would say the Redskins have to either draft for need in the remaining rounds from rounds 3 through 7. But first, they have to do an excellent job in free agency. They must find a WR. Whether that wide receiver is Colston, Garcon, or V. Jackson. With the addition of one of those receivers, it will improve the passing game. Gaffney, Moss, Cooley,Hankerson, Paul, Davis, Armstrong, and Stallworth all have the potential to be great. To add not only a solid, but productive free agent wide receiver to that receiving corps could only aid in the overall passing game. The right tackle position also needs to be addressed. LT, LG, C, and RG are pretty much solid. Although the offensive line receives criticism, I like our o-line. We just need a more productive right tackle. Maurice Hurt might be able to solidify himself there. If not, we should draft a young prospect or get one in free agency.

RT one word, Willie Smith. He proved he could play against some of the best pass rushers the last 5 games and held his own, he will get better.

Okay. That who I meant to say. For whatever reason, I get Maurice Hurt and Willie Smith mixed up. Smith did play solidly at left tackle down the stretch of the season.

Good thread.

I'd like to see them approach it aggressively. Not reckless. I've had enough of that for this week. But instead of throwing a truck load of money at Vincent Jackson, even though we know we're just going to have him on the downside of his career, I'd be aggressive in the WR trade market.

I would sign these players to relatively large money deals:

S Dwight Lowery
S LaRon Landry

I would sign these players to starters salaries:

OT Marcus McNeill (1 year - $4 million, pending release of course)
LB Geno Hayes
LB Erin Henderson OR LB London Fletcher

I would pick these players out of the bargain bin:

CB Tim Jennings
WR Chaz Schilens
RB LaDainian Tomlinson

To go with a number of re-signings we would already be considering. And I would look to bring in help at WR that is perhaps a better fit for our system. Jackson is a good fit, but a big money deal at 29 probably makes as much sense as a big money deal to Haynesworth at age 28, a guy who also fit our scheme.

The irony in this is overwhelming. You don't want them to approach it recklessly, but you want them to give LL a large money deal?

NOTHING. I mean NOTHING that LL has done in the course of his career deserves any sort of big money. As lame as the Pro-Bowl is, the guy couldn't even get voted into one of those...lol

EARTHQUAKE2689 · 03-11-2012, 01:21 PM

Maybe Markelle Martin in the 3rd since we will sign a WR maybe 2.

Cut:
Armstrong
Banks
Austin
Stallworth
Try to trade Moss for a 4th or 5th and if no one takes him think about cutting him

An offense of:
QB Robert Griffin III
RB Roy Helu/Evan Royster
FB Darrell Young
WR Vincent Jackson/Leonard Hankerson/Jabar Gaffney/Eddie Royal/Santana Moss
TE Fred Davis/Chris Cooley
LT Trent Williams
LG Ben Grubbs
C David Molk
RG Chris Chester
RT Willie Smith?
RB/WR/KR/PR Chris Rainey

Looks pretty good doesn't it?

GTripp0012 · 03-11-2012, 01:22 PM

I'm not a big Eddie Royal fan, but just so all you VT guys don't think I hate your team, I would want to see what kind of cash it would cost to get Josh Morgan locked up.

That would be my pick, he's the sleeper WR. I've seen plenty of him and he keeps improving, unfortunately he got hurt last year and missed most of it.

I guess I like him that much. lol

GTripp0012 · 03-11-2012, 01:27 PM

Here's the other thing at WR: if we're willing to spend the high 3rd round pick on the highest guy on the board at the position, you're almost guaranteed a starter there because the draft is so deep.

I would certainly consider Ben Jones (C, Georgia) at that pick if he fell that far.

The 4th round pick can probably get a starting quality right tackle or a potential starting corner or linebacker.

After that though, we're pretty much drafting in the dark.

I would do what it took to add Kellen Moore in the 5th round. I know it doesn't seem like he would be a good fit to run an offense that RG3 is running, but once you've committed yourself to a shotgun based passing game, it raises Moore's value in the draft by about two rounds.

Mechanix544 · 03-11-2012, 01:28 PM

1st round - RG3

3rd Round - Dwight Jones WR/UNC

trade both 4ths to get back up in the 3rd round, take best CB

5th - S

6th - S

7th - ILB

Sign Vincent Jackson. The best WR in the FA class, period. Add Lofton ILB from the falcons, only 25 years old and all the potential in the world. Then watch Fletchers 9m per asking price come down. Resign Fletcher to a reasonable deal, no more than 6 mil per any of the 3 years. Sign best available SS if LL walks, if he stays, one year deal.
