Just sign them both then and be done with the back end of the D.

Of course the $$$ would have to be right but that is what I've been thinking. Instant makeover at safety. Position of weakness ever since #21 passed instantly turned into a position of strength.

What about this? Move Amerson to FS and sign Mike Mitchell from Carolina to play SS. Back them up with Thomas and Gumbs( Rambo can compete but i just don't see much talent there). Thats a young and talented group that is also cheap enough to allow us cap space to address CB

When we drafted Amerson i was hoping it was to play FS. He has the size and ball skills to make the switch and he was a safety coming out of high school but switch to CB in college. When asked about playing FS in the NFL he said he was open to it and that safety was his " first love".

As for the 34th pick i'm hoping we land Zack Martin. He is a OT but has a better build for G in the NFL. He reminds me of Andy Levitre. Slide him in at LG ,move Lich to C to compete with Monty to start or be quality interior depth. Sign Jon Asamoah to start at RG and either Eric Winston or Anthony Collins to play RT (whom ever offers us the best bang for our buck). I think that would upgrade the unit quit a bit without breaking the bank

Not a fan of moving Amerson to FS.

I hope not. We need to resign Hall and sign a starting caliber corner in FA, because Amerson isn't ready to start.

Well, then, that's not good news. But Richardson is the guy I wanted more anyway. So if he or one of the first-round rated O-linemen like Kouandijo, Lewan, or Su'a-Filo aren't available, then Skov is the best option. I think he'll be a fine NFL player; I just think finding long-term protection for RG3 is the most important task this offseason.

I agree that they need to make some changes on the O-line, but the biggest protection to RG3 is going to be RG3. He has to get better at being a QB and making adjustments, I think some of those big hits he took and sacks fall on his shoulders. Hopefully these coaches can get him to where he needs to be, he has the work ethic so only time will tell.

So at #34 you take BPA at position of need.

True that, but you can't expect a 2nd year QB to be as good as Aaron Rodgers at moving around the pocket, finding the open man, and getting the ball out. That's something that comes with time(and a line that can actually form a pocket). RG3 would take a huge statistical step forward if he had WRs who could get open, because he's not good enough yet to throw them open. He would also take a big step forward if the O-line could form a pocket he could work from, something it never did. RG3 does have work to do, like any young QB, but it's not all on him.

[EARTHQUAKE2689]

I think he will be.

[SFREDSKIN]

I still feel that if Shayne Skov is available when the Redskins draft that he should be the pick. The defense needs a leader now that Fletcher is gone, Skov has proven to be a leader and he could be our Willis/Bowman with Riley. OT help can be filled in FA.

[SirLK26]

If Cyril Richardson or Cedric Ogbuehi is available, we need to take them. Otherwise, I think I agree with you.

It's one thing if you think Amerson just can't cut it at this level, but you can't draft a guy, retain his coordinator and position coach, give him significant playing time a rookie, and then not put him in the starting lineup in year two if he's still in your plans. If Amerson can play, he needs to start. If he can't...then that was a really costly pick.
