Very moving, I'd love to bring him on board.

at this point in the draft discussions, rumors are rampant in order to throw off teams from their focus on particular players. The Redskins have several needs, but should look to pick up a backup LB in free agency, Take the best OT avialable at the 13th pick. Should no elite OT be available, take Center Mack then trade remaining lower round picks for a early 2nd rounder to pick up Britton or Loadholt at the Tackle slot. This would give us the best foundation for the 2009 season. We don't need more defense. Our defense was in the top tiers last year without the acquisition of Haynesworth, Wynn, Hall, etc. We will be fine on Defense. Better protect our QB if we are going to make the playoffs this year. If we faulter, it will be our young WR corp not stepping up again this year.

So you want Wynn as you starting LDE, and Blades at the starting OLB? Wynn is 35 and out of gas, and Blades is as more suited for MLB and is a liability in pass coverage, so I think we need "more" defense.
