Redskins trade for Free Safety Dashon Goldson

[NC_Skins]

Essentially got him for nothing. Swapping a 6th with their 7th AND they are picking up 4mil on his contract. A bargain if you ask me. Low risk, high reward payoff.

a bargain ? he was about to be cut.....the fact that they gave up next to nothing indicates that no one in the NFL thought much of him- he is not a definite starter

look at his stats, 1 PD and no interceptions last year = Ryan Clark 2.0

Lovie has basically gotten rid of everybody in the secondary, he is trying to get folks that fit his scheme.

When he played here in SF he was known as a hard hitting S, he's also been known to be prone to personal fouls due to his aggresive play. I think it's a solid low risk move. Scot does it again.

You do not see an improvement from Ryan Clark and Brandon Meriweather to D. Goldson and Jeron Johnson?

As far as Johnson is concerned, he's a complete unknown as far as being a full time starter. We don't know if he's an upgrade over Merriweather cause there's no track record. But I actually like this one as he's still young and can at least play teams.

DG got paid and from what it looks like, did nothing. Just don't like this signing.

I think when you look around in free agency and the draft...very very thin at free safety. again this is a low risk signing...

the issue is whether Goldson is better than Clark. I would rather have D. Hall and a rookie at FS

Goldson is better than Clark, D Hall and every rookie at FS.

stats do not lie- Clark had better stats than Goldson last year

if Goldson was good why did the Redskins get him for almost nothing

D. Hall and a weak FS rookie class? D Hall has had serious season ending injuries the last few years and has never played the position before on a full time basis, over a two time probowl selection and a guy our new GM knows very well? We will still add a rookie or two in the draft and/or undrafted rookies.

If Goldson can't play anymore, you probably will have DHall and a rookie at FS. The Skins may not think that Hall will be ready to go at the start of the season or (I realize this is far-fetched) you could be wrong about Goldson and he might have enough left to give us a good year or two.

Hmmmm....going to put on my semi-wild theory hat, although I rarely do.
This free agency for the Redskins has been huge on defense.
Minus an Orakpo replacement anyways.
What does this mean for the draft?
Offense, offense,offense?

While I dont agree it will be offense offense offense...I think McC did look at this roster and say "our defensive personel is flat out garbage". The overwhelming statement this offseason has been strictly focused on getting us better at D.

BPA this draft
