DT: I would draft Alan Branch I think he could come in and make in impact right away for us, I would keep Griffin as our other starter, and I would also like to groom Golston to become our starter once Griffin leaves. I would rotate Salava'e, and Montgomery.

DE: I would like to sign Justin Smith from the Bengals to become our starter at LDE, I would keep Andre Carter our starter at RDE, I would draft a DE as a project in the later rounds maybe Justin Hickman from UCLA, and Daniels and Evans would make a good rotation here.

LB: I would like to sign either Kawika Mitchell, Lance Briggs, or Adalius Thomas to come in and play MLB, I would keep Marcus Washington at SLB, and start Rocky McIntosh at WLB. Lemar Marshall and Khary Campbell would rotate and serve as backups.

CB: I like Shawn Springs and Carlos Rogers as our starters here for one more year I think the changes made up front will greatly improve their play. I would keep Kenny Wright and Ade Jimoh to serve as backups, and maybe draft C.J. Gaddis from Clemson in the draft, but I think in 2008 we will have to look at signing or drafting somebody to take over for Springs.

S: I would have Sean Taylor start at FS, and I would sign Ken Hamlin from the Seahawks to come in and start at SS I think Taylor and him would get along greatly with Hamlin being our new Ryan Clark. I would keep Prioleau, Fox, and Doughty as backups.

This sounds like one of those nutty beer commercials! We could have Danny and a Pit bull sitting around while these guys walk off the plane with all of the Redskinnettes running around in thongs...

no way will you be playing on the field. your great mind is so inventive that we will need you on the sideline. only you have the ability to run this defense that you inspired so many to join.

i expect many players to restructure and some guys to be released to free up cap room. the fletcher signing is dependant on how much he wants

Yep, this is pretty much exactly how its going to be next year, exception to Vernon Fox being resigned, I don't think we will.

I'd like to keep 5 DTs on the active roster (Branch, Griffin, Saleve'a, Montgomery, and Golston), and keep at least 4 active each game. We should rotate our defensive line, a lot like we were doing down the stretch last year to help take advantage of tiring O Linemen and get some pressure on the QB. Both the Ends and the Tackles should rotate.

While I think Justin Smith would be a better End than Daniels, I don't think he's coming here:

1) We just signed Carter last year, dont want to lock up too much money in one position.

2) I know from their time in Chicago toghether that Greg Blache loves Philip Daniels. Feels that he's got a good chance to get the QB every time hes in. I personally question the wisdom of teaming Daniels with Carter, but a DE rotation can fix this problem.

3) MLB and CB are bigger needs and I would be shocked if we gave a big deal to Clements, gave a reasonable deal to Fletcher, and still chased Justin Smith.

I wouldn't be shocked to see Springs show up as safety in a few select packages, but unless you are suggesting a base defense with 1 safety and a nickel back (which IMO would actually be a good way to use our personel), I don't think Springs will start at safety next year. Instead he (hopefully) starts the season as the league's top nickleback, and starts if either Rogers or Clements (assuming we get him) gets dinged up.

great linebackers can play deep into their 30s, fletcher will be 32 for next season. look at the patriots linebackers (bruschi, vrabel, seau (like 37)), zach thomas, donnie edwards (still elite and hes like 34/35)

[mooby]

I'll take another LB spot, i'm 6'2 and about 225, great at stuffing the run and decent in coverage, plus i'll come cheap and i'm only 18 so i have plenty of years left in me.
