Is Leonard Davis going to be a Redskin?

Leonard Davis is not a premiere left Tackle. He is grotesquely overrated .... Davis is a physical specimen, but he is an average left tackle.

Well since we have a good left tackle I imagine he won't be playing there for us if he signs. His skill set seems pretty suited to guard to me. Hell he played guard in college.

Samuels is the premier left tackle. Davis would play guard and the fact that he can play left tackle is just gravy.

His versatility alone adds enough value for me. I think at guard he'd be just as good as Dock and with being able to slide over for the oft nicked Samuels is really a blessing. I really think we should make Davis a priority. Of course the standard disclaimer of: If he will sign for a value contract. If I see some ridiculous SB for him from us I will be pissed.

Well said - my thoughts exactly.

me too, I'm worried about this one. I wish we could just suck it up & draft a guard in the later rnds, bring a couple undrafted rooks in & sign a vet or 2 post 6/1 when more fa's will be available, rather than for the quick fix w/a guy who from all indications does not sound like he's shown the passion & fire that this line needs. I would rather see a youngster who is less gifted but is firey & wants to win.
If he would sign for about an $8mil bonus he may be worth the chance, but I doubt that.
Davis is looking for a payday no doubt. I hope we're just toying w/the cowpokes & they sign him for a $18mil bonus like Dock got!
