It's hard for me to envision them going Wr in this draft, except the 7th round, and only if a talented guy is there.
I don't see how they get out of this draft without getting 2 O-linemen, a ILB, and possibly a Safety.
They really don't have a Return guy yet, that needs to be addressed as well.

Buchanon may get some work at PR, but kickoffs are open it looks like. Could factor in decisions to draft a rb or wr for sure.

I'd love to see the Skins get TO. They won 4 games last year and need help at WR. It DM says its ok to bring him in then they should do it.

I don't care either way at this point whether they pick him up or not. I don't think the coach's are infatuated with our WR's but I'll agree I think it centers around Hixon. But the real issue is how long do they think it will take to get them up to speed? or if they are even able to get them up to speed. If the coaching staff is in the mind set of making a run at the playoffs and SB then we need help at that position. If they were in rebuild mode then I think we would be fine.

I dont want to hijack this thread but i dont think my musings warrent a new thread, so........

Do you think McNabb may have opened the door for Shawn Andrews?

As soon as he was cut i thought we should bring him in and take a look at him, so that's my basis for starting this. What amazes me is Kyle Shanahan saying he is "excited" about our o-line, but reports that the Shanahans see the WR corps as a weakness. I got to think McNabb is just as worried about the oline as he is his WR crops, if not more so (like the rest of us).

Does anyone know of any rumors or speculation about the Redskins and Shawn Andrews. This article also points out that the Redskins have been more than willing to take chances with players that are labeled "injury prone".

Perhaps Andrews will be the next signing that garners a lot of "low risk, high reward" comments?

I'm amazed that people are still hyped up over Kyle's coach-speak. What's he gonna say? Yeah we need help on the OL and tip their hand for the draft??

As far as the staff not liking our WRs, they haven't come out and said anything in regard to that.

Exactly! furthermore you can't blame the QB (JC) and the receivers. It is well known that a great QB makes good receivers. We now have a great QB. We will be just fine in this department IMO.

Again if we do go after T.O. or a WR of his caliber, it does not in any way suggest our current receivers are disliked. It simply means we want a "proven" Vet WR.

Caliber of T.O. = Drops more passes than anyone in the league.


We might as well line up Carlos Rogers at WR.

It's more that he didn't have to go that far with his praise. Usually in a situation like this you expect to hear either nothing or a generic compliment. Instead Kyle opted for high praise.

Isn't Andrews always hurt?

Yeah but always hurt has been the case with been Adamn Carriker, Ryan Torain, Roydell Williams, and Maake Kamoeatu. Plus you could make a pretty good case for McNabb being injury prone.

The Skins seem to be taking chances with guys who have been hurt and want to prove themsevles, which i am all for. I guess Andrews also has depression issues so that might raise a bigger red flag. Although i feel like his depression might be tied to his back injury issues.

Carricker was hurt once. Torrain, once also.

Roydell won't make the team (again) so he doesn't matter.



Maake played 14-16 games in each of 2002-2008.

McNabb...yeah...he's been injury-prone over the past few years but is worth the risk.

[mlmpetert]

Torrain broke his foot his senior year at Arizona State, dislocated his elbow and damaged ligaments during preseason as a rookie, and tore his acl later on that rookie year. I think he had complications with the acl because he received a injury settlement last year.

Carricker had his shoulder muscle tear injury but im pretty certain he missed or played sparingly his second year because of ankle and hamstring problems.

Maake is a 31 year old 350 pounder that tore his achillies last year - so always hurt isnt true but hes a injury risk

True - Roydell doesnt make it.

Interesting piece to contrast what most other links people have posted in this thread thus far. McNabb says he isn't lobbying to add Owens
