If You Ran the Redskins...

[89moss89]

If I ran the Redskins I would do everything in my power to hire Bill Parcells or Scott Pioli and give them total control!!

If I ran the Redskins I would sign Jordan Gross and Karlos Dansby in Free Agency, trade back and get hopefully and extra second but more likely another third round pick. Take Duke Robinson. Draft the best DT available with my next pick in which the list of canidates would include (Sen'Derrick Marks, Geno Atkins, and Fili Moala) then take the best Center available with my third round pick. Hopefully a guy like Alex Mack will last that long but it could also come down to prospects like Johnathan Luigs, or Max Unger.

So at the end of the offseason we would have a new RT, OG, C, DT, and OLB all of whom are capable of starting in the next year or two. In fact with my plan our offensive line could eventually look like this within the next year or two.

LT - Chris "elder Statesman" Samuals
LG - Chad Rhinehart
C - Third Rounder, possibly Alex Mack or Johnathan Luigs
RG - Duke Robinson
RT - Jordan Gross

Of course this will not happen as Vinny will probably draft a CB, WR, K, S, RB, or OLB with our first few picks.

First time I've heard of Johnathan Luigs Dirtbag, so I checked him out. Looks like an excellent prospect. Could become the first 2time Rimmington award winner. Very quick and has no problem with BIG DT's. Blocked for McFadden and Felix Jones in college. 6'4" and 313 lbs. Looks like a HOG to me!

1. Get rid of Vinny

2. Upgrade Fedex. It's not so bad and shoudn't be replaced for another 10 years or so, but we need a newer, bigger, HD jumbotrons ASAP. The new Cowboys palace is going to make Fedex look like a CFL stadium by comparison.

3. Trade up (not down) to get either Andre Smith, Eugene Monroe, or Michael Oher to begin rebuilding the O-line. Also draft a LB in later rounds to eventually replace Fletcher or MW.

4. Pursue these FAs: Gross, Sproles, Ward, Jacobs. Get Ladell Betts as far away from DC as possible. We need a change of pace back to take the load off of CP.

5. Try to restructure these contracts: Jason Taylor, MW, Randle El, make an effort to resign Springs for a considerably less cap hit, but build around Rogers and DeAngelo as the CBs of the future.

6. Give Zorn and JC a FULL VOTE OF CONFIDENCE. One year, 8-8, it's not the end of the world.

Hail to the Redskins

I think we need to move back to RFK, or build a new stadium that resembles it or others like the rose bowl, with rows of bleachers. The more you upgrade the more tickets will cost and you want lower ticket prices to get the true fans back in the stadium.

What are we giving up to move up?? We need to trade down to recoup picks.

Agree, but Jacobs is more of a smash mouth back like Portis, we need a speedster.

"I think we need to move back to RFK, or build a new stadium that resembles it or others like the rose bowl, with rows of bleachers. The more you upgrade the more tickets will cost and you want lower ticket prices to get the true fans back in the stadium."

Nice idea, but not financially feasible. You need luxury boxes and club seating in multiple tiers to generate revenues in the NFL. In this bad economy, no civic government is probably going to fund a new stadium for us when Fedex is only 11 years old and not obsolete by any means.

"What are we giving up to move up?? We need to trade down to recoup picks."

I think we need to get one of the "Big 4" tackles in this draft: Oher, A. Smith from Bama, J. Smith from Baylor, or Eugene Monroe, and it's not guaranteed that any of those guys will still be available at 13.

"Agree, but Jacobs is more of a smash mouth back like Portis, we need a speedster."

CP is kind of a hybrid, he doesn't possess the elite breakaway speed he used to have, but I think he could be complemented by either a speedy gamebreaker like Sproles or a total smashmouth back like Jacobs. Either one would take the load off of him some and make our offense a little more multi-faceted. As it stands now, I'll pay for the moving service if another team will take Betts of our hands.

I understand that, but what do you want to give up to get them???

Well, I guess it will depend on how far we need to move up. If you're San Fran at 10, and you're set on Malcolm Jenkins and can still get him at 13, do you swap the picks plus a 2010 late round pick? (4,5, or 6) I don't know, and I don't really have a concept for how trade values like that are quantified, but I think it's important we get one of the elite O-lineman in this draft to rebuild our line much like the selection of Chris Samuels did 9 years ago.
