I figured he would improve from simply having a year in Zorn's system to build on, but his off-season dedication is a good sign.

---> 35+ catches 4 TDs bumps ARE to slot by mid-season

Malcolm Kelly is an enigma.
I heard he had another scope/procedure on his knee.
I also read that the procedure went well and that he'll be ready for training camp if not OTAs.
It seems like the Redskins thinks that Malcolm Kelly *when healthy* has better hands and is a better route runner then DT, so hopefully he'll hit the ground running.

----->35+ 5 TDs bumps Thrash to 5th receiver by training camp

With the addition of Dockery we are a better unit already.
Stephon Heyer needs to take firm control of the RT spot.
Randy Thomas needs to stay healthy or Chad Rinehart needs to step up.

But, Imo a simple way to insure an improved line is to draft a OL with a high pick.

I think Zorn was good last year.
Overall i'm look for more downfield attempts and a more aggressive approach in the Redzone.
I predict a 60/40 split of pass to run this year, with a focus on passing to start the game and running to seal the deal.
I expect more dow
