Redskins Roster Confidence Levels

[Sheriff Gonna Getcha]

QB: Campbell, Collins, Brennan.
C+ - I am a Campbell supporter, but I can't say I have a ton of confidence in the guy. Collins is a great #2 and Brennan is a promising #3.

Backs: Portis, Betts, Cartwright, Sellers.
A - I wouldn't take anyone else's RB corps. This is a great unit from top to bottom.

WR: Moss, Randle El, Thrash, Thomas, Kelly.
C+ - When healthy, Moss is dominant. When ailing, Moss disappears. ARE is a great #3 and decent #2, but I do wonder how he'll fit in this offense. Thrash is a better receiver than people think; I believe he'll have a great year. I have NO faith in the rookies, who either can't get on the field or don't do much when they do suit up. They could turn out to be studs, but they haven't shown me anything that makes me believe they will be solid contributors in 2008.

TE: Cooley, Davis, Yoder.
A - As good as it gets.

OL: Samuels, Kendall, Rabach, Thomas, Heyer, Jansen, Fabini, Rinehart, Geisinger.
B - Like Schneed, I trust each player except Heyer. People loved him last year because he was a rookie free agent. I wonder how much people are going to love him now that he is a starter and may not have an extra player help him block on most downs. The depth is much better than it was 5 months ago.

DL: Carter, Griffin, Golston, Taylor, Montgomery, Evans, James, Jackson, Alexander, Wilson.
A- - This unit went from a weakness to a strength. The additions of Taylor, James, and Jackson really improve this unit's depth, experience, and playmaking abilities. Taylor and Carter should be a force on the edge and Griffin and Montgomery/Golston should be sufficient at DT. With Evans, Alexander, Wilson, James, and Jackson as back-ups, our dline should have a great rotation.

LB: Washington, Fletcher, McIntosh, Blades, Campbell, Fincher.
B - Washington should have another big year, as should Fletcher. McIntosh is a question mark, but he looked good last year prior to injuring his knee. I'd give them a B+, but the depth is pretty sub-par and makes me a bit nervous.

CB: Springs, Smoot, Rogers, Torrence, Tryon
B+ - I like this group, and will like it more once Rogers fully recovers from his injury. This group has a nice blend of size, speed, youth, and experience. Hopefully, Tryon can justify his roster spot.

S: Landry, Doughty, Horton, Hamilton, Moore
C+ - Landry is a rising star, but I have little confidence in Doughty and don't know enough about the rest to feel good about our SS position.

ST: Suisham, Brooks, Albright.
B - Suisham and Albright are money. Don't believe those who hate on him because of a few missed kicks; he's one of the most accurate kickers in the league. I like Brooks over Frost, but I am taking a wait-and-see approach with him.
