A question ... why does anyone think a trade with Detroit is still a possibility? Am I missing something? Last I heard there was NO WAY the Lions were trading their #6. Portis is the best we're going to get, folks. At this point, it's either that or the Jets' deal of Shaun Ellis, Lamont Jordan, and Anthony Becht. I'll take Portis and give up the second rounder, thanks. He will be the focal point of a rejuvenated offense. That's worth more than a second rounder, and it's worth more than Champ Bailey by himself. Losing him won't kill us.

Historically, it appears that a Gregg Williams defense in all likelihood will not suck. He and Marvin Lewis and Ray Rhodes have that in common. Even with average players, they'll build a good system around the guys they have and get the job done. The Redskins will get the FAs they need and the D will be fine minus Champ, average at worst. Priority #1 for Gibbs is running the ball on offense ... with Portis problem solved.

If Taylor's gone at #5, we'll take the DE from USC and be happy. No franchise tag for Kearse, so he could be coming our way. The D will be fine.
