Sure, HB has turned into a good backup/spot starter and a solid special teamer, but if we want some stud starters, we need to draft some better players in higher rounds.

Blades is going to be a very good player in this league, but I don't think he'll be in the starting lineup until Fletch moves on, simply because that would create a very undersized unit, and offenses could expose that.
I think Rocky will probably start again next year, but that we will move him over to the strong side, and Blades will get a lot of his playing time. The WLB next year, I'm convinced, will be someone who isn't currently a Redskin.
Unlike Lance Briggs, Karlos Dansby has every incentive to come here because he played his college ball on the same team as Rogers and Campbell. I don't think he was part of the undefeated 2004 team though, I believe that was his rookie year.
