And the Washington Redskins select....

[drew54]

Okay, I am not really sold on the Smurf’s 2.0. That isn’t to say that our new lineup including Moss and Patten won’t be a fine unit, I just would like to have another guy in place as a backup plan. Jacobs or McCants might be the guy, but if Moss doesn’t sign long term we run the risk of looking for a WR every year for the next couple of years.

I am pretty sure that we don’t need Plaxico or someone cheap like Travis Taylor or David Terrell. The only logical choice is to draft someone. Now here is where most of you will turn on south on my opinion. I really think that Mike Williams and Braylon Edwards will be gone. Mainly because I believe all of the teams in the top six are serious possibilities to trade out of their pick. If this happens then the simple answer is to trade down to the best WR available.

Hopefully we move back four spots with Houston so they can move up for a CB. Last time I checked to move into the top ten usually cost teams a #2. If we can slide down before Carolina we should be able to land the #3 WR in this draft Troy Williamson. He’s 6’2”, 200#, and ran in the high 4.3’s at the combine He isn't a very physical receiver, but he is among the fastest receivers in the draft. He would benefit from bulking up about 10-12 pounds and increasing his upper body strength. He could be a "TO home run threat" who can take it the distance every time he touches the football. He has played in a run-first offense in college and understands how the deep ball will be there after we run the ball.

I know most people think that adding one of the potential superstars WRs should be our priority, but I really think building our depth up now through the draft is much more important. If we trade down and draft the type of players that are hungry and looking to prove something rather than the busts like David Terrell, our impending cap problems wont be problems because we will have fine replacements. Another bonus of moving out of the top ten is it will lessen the signing bonus our pick will demand, and get him into camp on time.

I think the majority of our first two picks should be players that can play now, mainly WR and CB. This draft is so deep at CB, that I think if we grab that second rounder a guy might fall to us, just like Smoot did four years ago. The rest of our draft should be project players such as a Matt Jones or depth for our DL and OL. Does anyone really know where this guy will fall into place yet? I am praying he is ours in round three.
