[quote=theJBexperience;791260]Kind of surprised, AJ Green and Julio Jones haven't been on our radar yet. In my opinion, they could be the best available at 10. We definitely need an upgrade at WR, and I don't think we have a true #1 WR right now.[/quote]


I think we will sign a FA WR or 2, bring back Moss also.. Team needs more right now especially on the DL/OLB/QB/CB/OL lol

You're definitely right about needs. I think we definitely try to bring back Moss. I think we need another WR that could be a #1/#2. In free agency, thinking we go after Sidney Rice, James Jones, Mike Sims-Walker at WR?

If we go with the draft the best player available approach, AJ & JJ might be it at 10. Seems like the FO goes by the best player available for our scheme approach. So, it will be interesting draft to say the least. Hopefully, we can trade down with someone who may trade up for an AJ or JJ if they're still available then.

Yeah but I, nor anyone else I would hope, would want us to turn into the Matt Millen Lions drafting top WR busts multiple years in a row. Do it the right way. Get the foundation in place first. OLine, DLine. Then get your skill positions. It's like trying to build a house right on the ground without the cinderblock foundation.

He would be a huge upgrade imo, I can't believe JAX let him go

I think there is an NFL rule limiting the number of players with hyphenated last names, and you know they aren't about to let Maurice Jones-Drew go...

I think if we can resign Santana, he would be a nice compliment to catch all the underneath and red zone balls, while Moss & Armstrong stretch the field.

I agree with that. I think it would also be nice to get that position filled in FA by a guy that is already successful and not hope that the pick we put into a draftee will pan out. Use those draft picks on things we can't afford to miss on, like linemen.

[quote=Mattyk;791253]Okung definitely had the more polished college career. But Shanahan wasn't alone in his assessment that TW [I]may[/I] in the long run have more upside. But in the end I think we're splitting hairs, I think both players have the potential to have long successful careers.

TW definitely had some question marks coming in, but he answered a lot them last year.[/quote]

Williams made Houston his offseason destination after [Adrian] Peterson found a personal trainer and reached out to some of his former Oklahoma teammates.

"I came down and checked it out and I liked it," he said.

Among the former Sooners training with them are Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Keenan Clayton, former Carolina Panthers cornerback Marcus Walker and former Jacksonville and New Orleans linebacker Clint Ingram. [unquote]

The fruits from the upcoming draft will shed light on just how effective our scouting department has been in the evaluation process. With only two picks in the substance rounds, a gem must be found in the later rounds now that we have been granted a supplemental 7th rounder.

Re: Redskins Pre-Draft Visits and Private Workouts: 2011 Version
 

You bring in Sims-Walker you might get the same impact you got from Moss back in 05.

Re: Redskins Pre-Draft Visits and Private Workouts: 2011 Version
 

Sims-Walker wants to go to the Dolphins, but that doesn't make sense for them. They got too many slow possession receivers already.

Me too, both are top 5 offensive players in the draft. You would think they would be worth a work out at the 10 spot.

To further comment, with Santana not resigned and we needed help to begin with at that position...we are greatly lacking in talent at WR at this time.

Now if with resign Moss and add Sidney Rice...well...that would be awesome.

Re: Redskins Pre-Draft Visits and Private Workouts: 2011 Version
 

Shanahan has a history of drafting guys that he doesn't attend workouts for, so you really can't rule out anyone. You have to assume anyone that is top 10 worthy is on the radar.

True ala Jay Cutler.

I think we could also potentially pick up some decent WR depth late in the draft or in free agency, which Shanny also has a history of doing. Hopefully, we can add a Jeff Maehl or Dane Sanzenbacher, some sure-handed, quick, productive WRs.

Can anyone vouch for weather or not the Skins had someone at Locker's pro day?
