As for 07-08, we suffered injuries ACROSS the board at CB. LB. OL, and Collins threw 2 interceptions that were returned for scores. It would be foolish to blame both loses on the Oline. In the playoffs, if you can not run and pass well you will lose.
Its great thatt u have a man-crush on B Albert and all, cuz I am the mayor of Jordy-ville, but why would u automatically assume a rookie can unseat a veteran like that. No jobs are given away in the league and especially with the Redskins ofensive line. I mean I dont even expect J Nelson to start if we get him. Eventually he CAN, but he will not receive a 1st round de facto starting position. I will say that he has thepotential to beat him in camp, but im not gonna assume he will start.
We need top tier talen at CB and DE. Period.
We can find WR and OLineman later on. If we were to take them in the first, I wouldn't be happy, but I wouldn't be protest either. Any pick can help. My philosophy is to address need int he first round, unless you have a top 15 pick/or somoen great falls to you like Randy Moss did when he came around.

Well I'm not going to argue about Gibbs' playcalling cause I didn't like it. But if you recall in 05 we had 55 year old Ray Brown playing guard and he got hurt. In comes Cory Raymer and all hell broke lose.
Yes Collins threw 2 picks but if you recall before that we couldn't sustain drives because of an inability to pick up 3rd/4th and shorts. Plus Collins was getting killed by Kerney, Pederson and co. Injuries were part of it cause we're mising Thomas and Jansen. But we couldn't over come it because of a lack of depth at the RG position. Fabini and Kendall are stop gaps. Remember the Giants game? Couldn't get any movement two plays in a row on the goaline. People can blame Betts all they want but Kendall just isn't the best option. We need a young road grader in there who is versitile. We need a guy like Raliegh Mackenzie.
I agree with the need for a DE. IMO I just think you still win games in the trenches and the NYG proved that in the SB. If we can get some guys that can rush the passer, open holes for CP and protect JC then we can take the next step.
