We also have or signed...
Macklin, Prioleau (back from injury), Fox (started at S last season), Stoutmire, Jimoh, and Doughty. Some pretty nice depth, Nickle and dime packages.

How about the O line (departure of Dockery)
Resigning Wade was critical (I believe) this is an improvement over Dockery.
Nice depth and options come from signing Fabini and Tucker.

Linebackers;
The signing of Fletcher will solve this issue who will start at MLB. Washington and McIntosh will start at OLB.
Marshall is great depth and package assistance.

TE; Yoder resigned. we're set.
WR; how can anybody think this is a position of need???
RB; perfect harmony, set.
QB: set, maybe, maybe, maybe a late round hopeful or undrafted FA to hold the clipboard and develop.
FB, H back; perfectly ready.
K/P; resigned Frost! Maybe.... Carney from New Orleans comes into push SqueezHam
KR; set.

The only thing we need is bodies in camp to hold things...
and DEFENSIVE LINEMAN....

Let's DRAFT, TRADE, SIGN UNDRAFTED FA, STEAL, BORROW or CHEAT to get Defensive Lineman into Redskin Uniforms... THIS SHOULD BE OUR FOCUS AND GOAL!!!

I agree with a lot of what you are saying here. I would recommend you carefully examine some of the positions you deem "set", because we weren't all that good last year. For example, I wouldn't say that re-signing Todd Yoder sets our TE situation. We were a horrible power/short yardage running team last year, and we need to redevelop the ability to go off tackle with some consistency.

I would completely agree with your analysis that defensive line is far and beyond the biggest need, and certainly we will address that position in the draft. The only question remaining is whether or not you take a guy like a Okoye at 6, or trade down into the lower half of the round and target Alan Branch or Justin Harrell.
