So what do we have for depth?
QB- After Campbell we have Collins and Brennan and I feel pretty comfortable with those guys. I think Campbell is the best out of the 3 but those other guys bring something unique to the table also.
RB- I've heard that the Redskins plan to use Betts a lot more next season. He's good enough to be part of a RB team in the NFL but Portis is clearly the man. Betts can catch so maybe some two back sets? I don['t have much confidence in Cartwright as a tailback so maybe we could use a young guy here? An undrafted FA? Sellers is a good short yardage guy who can catch too. Also a mauling blocker for Portis.
TE-

WR- Santana Moss still has it, but after him it's kinda thin. ARE is a #3 at best and Kelly and Thomas need to really show up to camp to contribute. I wonder if we might go after a guy like the newly available D.J. Hackett who we missed out on last season.
OL- This is a position of weakness that I believe we are turning to a position of strength. I don't care what anyone says. Chris Samuels is a top 5 left tackle. The newly signed Derrick Dockery is probably in the top 10. (One of my favorite Redskins a few years ago, I'm psyched to have him back.) Casey Rabach is a decent veteran center and I believe he's a strong link in the offensive line chain. Randy Thomas is 33 and has slowed a little with age but I believe he's still a top 10 RG. The last piece of the puzzle IMO is going to come in the draft. Jansen is no longer a legit starting RT and the latest mock draft from Todd McShay on ESPN (first one after the combine, where Orakpo is flying up the boards) has us taking Ole Miss tackle Michael Oher. (Where he's represented as the last of the elite tackle prospects taken at #13.)
Having a young, talented right tackle to hold down the other side of the offensive line is going to be huge. With the addition of Haynesworth I think that offensive line is our top priority and we ought to concentrate on getting one of those tackles.
Add to that potential mix Rinehart, Heyer possibly Jansen if he sticks around... we may have a pretty strong line with some depth.
DL- This is the position that I think has the most depth now. Jason Taylor, Andre Carter, Chris Wilson and Rob Jackson as ends doesn't look great depth wise, but add to that Phillip Daniels (the veteran minimum I'm sure) and Haynesworth, who can easily shift over to either end position, and we're going to see a much improved defense.
LB- Linebacker is still a concern since we have only 2 at this moment but those players will have a lot more holes to run through with Haynesworth, Griffin, Golston and Montgomery in a lethal defensive tackle rotation.
We're still pretty thin at LB, but hopefully a 3rd round pick will be able to add something along with maybe a veteran free agent. (There's quite a few decent vets out there, Angelo Crowell, Mike Peterson, Derrick Brooks, etc. etc.)
CB- While I was on the "keep Springs and trade Rogers" bandwagon, I'm not unhappy to see Rogers getting another season in B&G. He and Hall should be a great team, especially since we'll have a much improved pass rush. Fred Smoot is a good nickle back but after him the depth falls off significantly. Is Tryon going to be able to contribute?
S- In my opinion, LaRon Landry has never really proven himself as an elite player... that should change this season. With Chris Horton playing along side him and the aforementioned improved pass rush we're going to see him shine. Horton was a nice surprise last season but I wonder how much we can expect a 7th rounder to improve and be an everyday player? Moore looks like a decent backup at FS, but I think we need another guy on the strong side. Any way Doughty comes back?
Well, what do you guys think of our depth for next season? I really like it, especially if we keep our picks for next season.
