The-Hogs.net - Washington Football Discussion, Redskins to Commanders Era

With Casey Rabach on board what do we have left to do?

#1 Wide Receiver: Williams, Edwards or Williamson in the draft or Mason, ? in FA

#2 CB: Only if Smoot leaves...Rolle, ? in FA or draft ?

#3 TE: Need big blocker to compliment Royal. FA?, Draft ?

#4 DE: ???

pick up antrell rolle in draft if smooty leaves
pick up wr in fa coles isnt going anywhere

1. Definitely would like to get Williams in the draft has great hands. Mason is gone to the ravens so we dont have to worry about him.
2. Corner I think we really need to keep smoot, but I just like what he brings to the game, might not be the best tackler but plays like he has something to prove at all times. Antrell Rolle is very overrated. I watch Miami a lot and I dont see why he gets all the hooplah. They always talk him up but hes seems a little stiff and slow to me, he would do well in our defense but thats just because Williams is a genious. We got our good secondary guy from Miami last year, you could tell their secondary wasnt the same without big STaylor back there.
3. Tight End, I am really starting to like the Matt Jones guy, he just seems so all around athletic. I remember watchin him play against texas last year that big boy can move. I just think he could bring about versatility probelms for the other teams d.
4. I am not sure which D end is the best, I have always liked pollack just because of his intensity. However, I watched Erasmus James from Wisconsin run and hes quick with good footwork. I believe this draft is deep with DEs.

mason is already with the ravens so we can take him off the board...
as for defensive end, i doubt we will pick one in the draft because the need for a receiver, so im going to say the best bet is to get Reggie Hayward in FA...

Picking up Bubba franks wouldnt be too bad

WR- We trade Coles for defensive line help and we sign Kevin Johnson (Ravens) and draft Mike Williams in free agency. Johnson has some of the best hands in football and Williams will be the perfect big reciever to compliment him.

CB- If we don't have the $ for Smoot, we don't have the $ for Rolle. We'll get a cheaper player like Anthony Henry (Browns), Gary Baxter (Ravens), or Andre Dyson (Titans).

TE- I don't think we need a big blocker to take Royal's place, I think Royal is fine where he is and will continue to develop and mature.

DE- This is where I think we'll spend our money, Kevin Carter (Titans), Douglas (Ravens), or Hayward (Broncos) would all be possibilities

One thing left out though is middle linebacker. I think AP will come back, but if not I think we sit tight with Mike Barrow.

i hope the redskins stay away from kevin carter, he probably wants a big pay check and hes old

1- still need to trade Rod, bring in Johnson or Mason
2- SMOOT... if he wont come back then Henry, Baxter or Lucas
3- Stephan Alexander- I think he'll want to come back an will be cheap. If not, get Becht. He can block.
4- Hayward, if we miss out on him I'll be sorely disappointed but then get Holiday
Draft day rolls around and we get the best player avaliable, just like Gibbs said we would.

He'd be cheap because he has diminished skills. Frankly i've always thought he was overrated. Man the Lions had so many injuries at receiver last year they were dying for someone to throw the ball to, and he still stunk. The guy's caught less than 100 total passes in the last 4 years... hardly great production for a guy who can't block.

According to Raven's Radio Baxter is asking for something like a $14 mil. Signing Bonus. At least he didnt say that the Skins were looking to sign him to a $40 million dollar deal just to drive up his price tag!

isn't marcus pollard a FA?

Gardner was better than that imo

I guess he's out then... maybe one of the others will come at a more reasonable price. I really like Anthony Henry personally.
