Betts is as good as gone, and no way will the Skins let go of Duckett after what they gave up to get him. Cartwright will spend one more season in Washington, then he'll be elsewhere.

But the focus HAS to be on the defense -- 2 defensive linemen, 2 linebackers, 2 corners, a safety ... a complete overhaul is needed.

we've got 4 picks, and you can't count on a 5, 6, or 7 to be starters either.

#1 DE
#5 DB
#6 ??
#7 ??
UD P

of course we could trade down, and some FAs will be available (like clements) which helps, but having more draft picks would be even better.

I have this feeling we're going to waste two more late round picks are OL that we're just going to cut. Honestly, I feel like Bugel, if anyone, has had the game pass him by.

yeah. i mean, we wasted a pick last year on a guy NO ONE was going to draft, just because he played all five spots in college (big f'ing deal). bugel and breaux and saunders could all go away this year and i wouln't shed a tear.

of course, if you want an honest answer from the staff, bugel's the only guy you'll get it from (or maybe dale linsey :P)

After hearing what I'm hearing about Saunders, I'm going to reserve my judgement until I see what Campbell can do under this offense. If the playcalling STILL blows, then I'll agree...
