[quote=Dirtbag59;899080]Lets get Evan Mathis or Eric Winston before we start talking about another receiver. Heck see if you can get Eric Steinbach at a discount.[/quote]
Exactly , OL , OL and DEFENSE . We drafted 3 WR's last year , coach them , give them reps and let them play and develope .

[quote=Chico23231;899090]Chris Rainey does returns. Probably get him in the 5th round. Better Returner and could play the slot and get touches out of the RB spot for 300k a year. He could be just as dangerous a Ginn at KR/PR.[/quote]
I would like to see Rainey on the field with RG 111 .

[quote=JoLo;899065]And I think Merriweather could be a steal. He is a 2 time pro bowler and only 28. No way he just fell off, him and Belichick had a falling out and if Belichick dont like you your out of there. Then he was thrown into the fire without even knowing the bears scheme. If we could sign him cheap it would be a great pickup. Hes aggressive and fast. When he was a pro bowler and on the right page with Bill he was a hell of a player.[/quote]

Merriweather never played for the bills he was drafted by pats and then played last year in Chicago.

Also in response to earlier post about moving up to get a Harrison Smith we do not have the pieces to do it as we would have to move up to end of the First I think.

I agree. Nelson had a monster season in 2011.

Does the FO realize we dont have any starters at the Safety position? We need to get that done and we need to sign Fletcher or Tulloch today. A nickle corner would be nice as well.

Re: 2012 Redskins Free Agency Tracker
 

[quote=SFREDSKIN;899057]If I was the skins I would look towards the draft to pick up a S (I know it's a crappy class). I would see about moving up to grab Harrison Smith, S, Notre Dame or Markelle Martin, S, Oklahoma State.[/quote]

I like Markelle Martin a lot. He has great range and he's a hitter.

I also like Brandon Taylor who I think is very underrated. It's hard to stand out in such a great secondary as the one he played in at LSU.

i dont see many starting safetys out there. Lofton is another good option at lb too

Re: 2012 Redskins Free Agency Tracker
 

Ive seen a few sites referring to our interest in Ben Grubbs, I would have thought hes a bigger guy then Shannahan wants, but cant deny the guy can block. Maybe having a fast qb makes it not as much of an issue (even luck is fast for a qb)

He is already familiar with ZBS, so I think it might make sense to try and make a play for him. We've been lacking a solid oline for the longest time, it would be nice to have another solid building block.

I know I might be in the minority here, but I feel like the O-line was less than stellar, but more of the problem was WR and QB. I feel like teams started to stack the line and dare us to throw realizing we don't have any threats if you take away the run game. Also, the Beck games really inflated the sack numbers.

Completely agree. I think RG3 will mask a significant portion of the deficiencies of the O-line, but I'm still not comfortable with that ragtag group of players going out there...

I more or less agree with you. The OL is much better than when Shanny got here. And our new QB may make last year's line look better all by himself. While the line still needs improvement, it is better than other pieces made it look last year.

Re: 2012 Redskins Free Agency Tracker
 

good. hes too expensive for a postion that isnt as dire of a need. i'd much rather sign the eagles backup on the cheap and go hard after winston to play RT.

Re: 2012 Redskins Free Agency Tracker
 

I think we are going to have deal with a meh secondary. Hopefully and improved offense and a more experienced front seven will help to overcome that defficiency (see GMen)

You are probably right on that one. I don't think we will make a push for anyone beyond the CB out of NY and Meriweather.

7mil/yr for a guard? No thank you.

Re: 2012 Redskins Free Agency Tracker
 

Didn't want Grubbs anyway... Wasn't a fit for the Zone Blocking Scheme

Possibly. Hopefully our offense will starting putting points on the board and the d will be playing with a lead most of the time, which will allow Kerrigan/Orakpo to tee off on people.

He was the weak link on the Texans line, but he's good insurance for Chester/Kory.

Thank you!!!! No more wr's!!!! Get RG3 some damn blockers so he's not on his damn back. Hopefully they'll addresss it the draft if not FA. Kind of disappointing that Grubbs signed elsehwere. Would've rather had him then Josh Morgan.

Re: 2012 Redskins Free Agency Tracker
 

With the kind of money other teams are paying for guards, a position that shouldn't be all that expensive, most of our signings are looking reasonable to me in comparison. There is some big money being spent on FA's, more than I anticipated, so far.

Re: 2012 Redskins Free Agency Tracker
 

Owen Schmitt anyone?

With our cap issue, I am okay not paying for a starting guard, but would like some insurance for Kory L.
