Hopefully we can convert one of these guys to an ILB. We need to address team speed on D.

Re: Redskins Free Agent Signings

We'll get a good RB after the first round. Check out Samaje Perine (OK). He's 233 lbs. and extremely hard to tackle. Or, Jeremy McNicols (Boise St.). Does everything well and is noted for his pass protection. We might even get Joe Mixon (OK). He is spectacular both running and receiving.

Re: Redskins Free Agent Signings

I think we really need an impact player in the middle of our defense. Nobody brings to mind the word impact like Reuben Foster. Check out his highlights. They are UFB, particulary his hits on ST kick coverage. He could possibly fall to #17 where he would be a steal.

Haason Reddick might also be a good pick at #17. We might even be able to trade down and still get him.

Re: Redskins Free Agent Signings

I would say we absolutely need a rb.

Best case scenario for the upcoming draft is the first 2 picks spent in the front 7 of the defense. And then we go Running Back in the 3rd round. Hopefully grab an interior o lineman with one of the picks in the 4th round.

Re: Redskins Free Agent Signings

I say we definitely need a RB, where we draft one is another story. There are a few there that could contribute early and often. You got the pipedream of Fournette, the more realistic dream of Cook and then you have McCaffery, Kamura, Mixon, there are talented RBs to be had, and I do want to see if Keith Marshall can contribute as well.

Shameless self-promotion. It is what it is.

Re: Redskins Free Agent Signings

Kelley should be improved in year 2, both physically and mentally stronger. I'm not ready to write him off yet.

This. I really don't see any need at all to draft a RB higher than Rd 5 or so.. too many other needs.

I would agree here. Really hope they pass on a back until the later rounds. I'm looking to see what they have in Mason. Kid always looks good whenever he's got an opportunity.

Re: Redskins Free Agent Signings

I'm betting we'll go D heavy in this draft, for better or worse I can see us moving away from Scot's BPA philosophy and going more for need.

I hope you are right.

Even if the oohh shiny guy rates as the better prospect? The draft is a crapshoot even with all the work put in it. Better to pick the guy you think has a higher chance of succeeding in the NFL, regardless of position. If you have two prospects you rated equally and one is a need, then yeah go for it.

I'm not going to get into it because there's only so many ways to say I think this franchise is fucked, but drafting for need over BPA? Add another reason to the list.

Who edits the site? Time to replace Jackson with Crowder on the banner.

Yeah, and replace Smith with Kate Upton while you're at it.
