Boldin a Redskin?

I like Moss deep on occaision, but that is not his strength, though he can wheel a man up...quick.

Essentially what I am saying is that whether we have Moss, Bolden, or both we would still have a need for another reciever that is more of a typical deep threat/ jump ball kind of guy.

With that being said, I do not think that it would be a wise decision to proposition any type of trade for Anquan Bolden whether it be Moss and a first rounder, or a first and a third, or whatever. I like Boldin alot, but we would not be adding much more with him offensively and we have other needs that need to be addressed more than the recieving corps.

I probably have more faith in our WR developing than most fans but I think in Thomas we have someone who is Boldin/Brandon Marshall-lite. He's got the size, hands and power to get good RAC, occasionally get down the field against one on one coverage and can get the extra few yards against a CB trying to tackle him one on one.

Kelly projects to be a Colston/Fitzgerald type at his peak. I'm not saying he will match their production, but similarities in tools and skills. Not blazing speed but good enough. The main attribute will be the ability to go up and get the ball where defenders can't reach. He's not going to outrun many people deep or run away from many people after he gets the ball, but if he's running a seam or fade route, just put it up there and let him climb the ladder for it against a CB or S.

We need to see what we have before we can say what we want.
