Freddie Mitchell as a Redskin?

Gardner would make for an excellent #3 wr due to his inconsistancy. Also until last year McCants was our third option...

I maybe wrong but I think that he is saying that Moss and Jacobs/Patten will be the starting 2 wr's, so between Jacobs and Patten one of them will be #3 along with Thrash, McCants, and Gardner if we keep him. So thats 4 wr's that all have enough talent to be the #3 WR. If we would add "Fred Ex" than that would make 5 wr's fighting for the #3 spot. As you can see I am not counting Brown because his talents are needed mostly on Special Teams...

Until he wanted to be traded Gardener was talked up as a very good #2 that has not changed....only the fact that you're now trying to put him down now that the situation has gone bad has changed....
Jacobs is a very solid #2 prospect possibly #1 material...He has great speed, good route running...not great... Gibbs even addressed the issue today or yesterday I believe or why we did not pick a WR...He said that Jacobs has been very impressive in practice.
Patten is a solid #2 or #3.
People talk up Thrash like he is a God...Show me a very good #3 receiver in this league and compare them....You cant....he is at best a #4....#4 receivers spend most of the time on ST...#5 receivers are replacements for the #4 and ST only ...but Brown will be our returner and #4 this year....Bye Thrash we got a younger more skilled player that impresses the coach more than you. Mitchell doesnt really fit in. Where do you put him? #5? He wont go for that. Thrash wont want to be a #5. McCants might. Holiday would love it.
Maybe it is a good philosophy to pack yourself with talent at every position. If you have 5 - #1 receivers I guarantee you will get alot more done than if you have 5 - #5 receivers.
