Re: Redskins trade for Jason Taylor (updated)
I have mixed feelings about the trade. I like the fact that we got a guy who is a veteran leader who probably still has some gas left in the tank and can bring a consistent defensive presence to that left-side, which we lacked last year. I also like the fact that we didn't give up a 1st rounder for him.
Now, I don't like the fact that we were relying on a 34-year old to start on that side and didn't have any depth at such an important position so we had to make a typical 'reactive' move.
To me, it would have been proactive to use one of our early draft picks on a DE.
If you asked me would I rather have:
Scenario #1 - Devin Thomas, Malcolm Kelly, Fred Davis, Jason Taylor
or
Scenario #2 - Devin Thomas, Calais Campbell, Fred Davis, 2nd round pick, 6th round pick
I would choose scenario #2.
