Its Official Smoot Is A Redskin! (MERGE)

[Skinz4life]

I am excited to have Smoot back and if nothing else it looks like we have a little more depth at CB than we did last year - for now at least. I was wondering if anyone has heard anything on Daniel Graham? I really think that he could help the redskins, great blocker and an underrated reciever. He would look real nice in a skins uniform next year.

He wouldn't be bad if he had more weight to him. Basicly he is a Cooley type TE and we need more of a blocking TE...

Wiggins in huge. What are you talking about. He isn't that good either and I'm going to be pissed if they sign him.

Like I said there is only 10lbs. difference between him and Cooley, I would like to see us get a TE that is just like having another OT on the line. We already have a pass catching TE in Cooley, either way Wiggins and Cooley fall in the positions of a pass catching TE not really known for their blocking. Although IMO Cooley gets a bad rap for his blocking. I see nothing wrong with his blocking ability...

Wiggins is 260, how much bigger do you want a TE to be?

He is only like 10lbs bigger than Cooley, I would want a 280 to 290 TE almost like having a OT on the end that can catch...

The thing is we don't run many double TE sets in passing situations. That's why Pucillo filled the role of blocking TE last year, but there wasn't much need for another TE that could catch.

Yeah, I think we're fine at tight end, yet almost everywhere we hear it's a need. I don't get it.

If they want to find a Ron Middleton-type tight end (who weighed around 270 and did nothing but block his whole career) then we can find that very late in the draft, or even through undrafted free agency.

Yeah, I agree, but it would be nice to have a big body like that in the red zone or goal line situations that we can play action to. Dont get me wrong I think that Cooley does a great job in the red zone and goal line situations but it would be nice to have that option of a big blocking TE to roll out and find in the back of the endzone, almost like a tackle eligable. But we could also use him as bait on 3rd and short situations too.
