Bryan Johnson and the draft

[Ghost]

As Tom Boswell points out in his excellent column in today's WP, the minicamp that's underway right now will go a long way toward determining whether certain players have what it takes to be Redskins, and much of what's going into that equation is the football IQ of these guys. If Gibbs decides that Chamberlain and/or Royal don't fit for some reason, then I'd say we have a hole at TE that's just as significant as our needs at safety.

But I'm playing devil's advocate here ... I like Taylor at #5 because he's a sure thing and he will change the dynamics of the defense, and I think the Skins need to have a killer defense and Taylor will have a big role in that. But I won't be disappointed if we take Winslow. And more and more I'm hoping we don't trade down to fill a need because the talent isn't as good down there.
