No more double teaming Moss or Cooley because there would be Calvin johnson out there too. I understand that he could become a bust but anyone drafted could and if your going to live in hindsight then don't draft at all. The defense does in fact need to get younger but if a guy who is 6'5 and runs a 4.3 40 then you might want to think about bringing him in. Campbell would have a receiver to grow with professionally. The Redskins need a big WR out there. I like who's there already but they seriously a big receiver is something that the Skins should have out there. No more troubles in the redzone because you can throw the ball up and he has a good chance of coming down with it. If he turns out to be as good a receiver as he was in college then he may end up drawing a double team or two himself. So you'll have to pick your poison as a defense. Is it going to be Moss, Johnson, Cooley, or the run game.

I know the "smart" thing is to trade down or draft defense but Eff that ! Take that monster and make your offense even more dangerous than it already is. Williams needs to coach. Get Ian Scott in here, find someone in the later rounds because it can be done. I know it's not a guarantee but what actually is ?

I agree! I tried to tell people he ran in the 4.3s but people argued me down that he ran in the 4.5s. This guy is a SPEC-I-MAN! They don't come along every year. If we got a chance to get him, we need to do so. I really don't see a D-lineman in this draft that will have his impact. I could be wrong, but then again I could be right. See how throwin away draft picks has put us in a bind? I wish we could trade up to get him but the harsh reality is..............................we aint got SHIT to trade!
