Washington Redskins

We know where Washington stands at quarterback and left tackle. I think Jason Campbell could do a nice job for Mike Shanahan, but so far, the coach isn't really embracing the incumbent starter. But those are the obvious needs. Honestly, there are no under-the-radar needs because the Redskins need help at pretty much every position. Maybe with the presence of Albert Haynesworth and Maake Kemoeatu, folks have been lulled into thinking the Redskins are OK at defensive tackle. But I don't think that's the case. If you can find a nose tackle early in the draft, you have to think about selecting him. Haynesworth's going to line up at defensive end the majority of the time. He wants no part of playing nose tackle, although he'll be there some of the time.

The Redskins would also be wise to look for inside linebackers for their new 3-4 scheme. If you think London Fletcher's going to succeed in a 3-4, you haven't studied the league. Little guys like Fletcher simply don't function well in this type of defense. Ask the Cowboys' former mighty mites Dat Nguyen and Dexter Coakley. It just doesn't work for 5-10 guys to be taking on 340-pound guards who are light on their feet. So yes, inside linebacker might qualify as an under-the-radar need.

The Redskins still have questions at punter and placekicker as well. They have needs all over the roster, so this could rank as the most important draft in the last 20 years. Nothing's really under-the-radar when it comes to this team's draft needs.

Actually, I've always thought we were pretty much good to go at DT. We still have Golston and Montgomery backing up, right?

I think Montgomery was somewhat on the bubble last season though.

In a 3-4 Golston and Haynesworth would be a DE, Monty would be a backup so NT is still a pretty big need position with Kemoeatu coming off an injury ........There should be a few NT's avaliable in the later rounds of the draft.

Interesting. Golston is probably a solid fit at LDE in the 3-4 and maybe this is what the guys have in mind already...he'll take over for Daniels in the long run.

Golston is pretty impressive. He had 30 something tackles last year rotating at DT.

CB Phil Buchanon signed a one-year deal with the Redskins for $1.5 million, plus $750,000 in additional incentives. Maybe we just signed our new KR/PR, similar contract to what Rock Cartright had.....
