Do we have a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd in this years draft??

MTRedskinsFan -- I think Marcus Mason is next in line for our stable of running backs. I must admit, something doesn't seem right with Portis to me. I'm not seeing the explosiveness Im used to. I know he gets caught/hit behind the line a lot -- but I mean even in the open field I feel he may have lost a step. RBs in general have a short life span, especially RBs that play as physical as Portis.

This draft has to go Round 1: best WR or DE available, rest of the draft: O line depth. Especially guard.

I still don't see WR as top priority. I'm not a Moss fan but can at least believe this is his low pt - next year should be better. We have ARE (playmaker). Caldwell, who I thought would be used more already, could be worked into the system too. I know we need to draft a WR, but the Saunders style (assuming he finally controls the O) is to build a monster o-line and let the other guys get the benefits in rushing, pass protection, etc.

I still say DB, right-side o-line tackle, WR, d-tackle. D-line can be moved back because Montgomery has turned into a quality player, Daniels is getting real hungry, Carter an f'n beast, Grif will still be a force and Golston is developing.

But for shits and giggles, what college WR would be worth our 1st round draft pick (cause you know I'd like to see some high-octane offense).

He can't carry the extra weight he put on a couple of years ago, and that 1500 yd season as I predicted probably took 2 to 3 years off his longevity, perhaps for the most part his first 2 years with us just about killed his playing career, he's just not built for conventional running.

this thread is crazy. we are 6 games into this season, and talking about the draft?? someone should shut this crap down, plus saying Jansen needs to be replaced. Jansen is a beast. He never missed a game until the Achilis thing, then someone fell on him and broke his leg. dude, the guy is a beast of an oline man. we need him back next year.
