We just need so much more than a WR from the draft Our lines could use complete attention. Take all linemen this year and I'd be happy. I know we need a CB but other than that I'd lvoe to see us go overboard on the lines in a perfect world.

I agree although I have said on other messages I heard Cerrato on Redskins Radio that one of the draft picks is going to used on a qb to be our 3rd stringer - which is probably a good long term move because you never know what will happen - maybe a severe injury to JC but lets hope not.

I think that we will use 2-3 picks on lineman (hopefully more) with one of the picks on a db as well. I am just excited we have all our picks for this year (pending the extra pick for Dockery we get). So far the restraint by the FO is a breath of fresh air and from the looks of the DJ Hackett situation it looks like we made a fair offer and didn't throw him an obscene contract offer, which is smart because the injury potential and history for DJ is something you have to consider. DJ makes sense in that he is well versed in the system and wants to go over the middle and would be the perfect compliment for Moss and Randle El. The contract numbers I have seen on the board all look reasonable and if he gets that from the Skins that would be a good move for the money.

so far the offseason has been quiet and that is a good thing!
