Build the Redskins for 2012

[Paintrain]

I don't watch college football so rather than talk about individuals I'll talk positions we need upgrading (spoiler-it's almost all of them)

QB-We've got to draft one in the 1st round and sign a free agent as well. Rex and Beck cannot be on this roster come this spring. Neither has shown any reason to continue as Redskins. I was disappointed we didn't sign Leinart, Matt Flynn is an option this offseason.

RB-Another area we whiffed on this offseason. We need playmakers badly and they were available but we stayed with Torrain and picked Helu. I was high on him early on but his propensity for being down on the 1st hit and lacking ability to make people miss doesn't make me think he's a full time starter. I liked Hightower ok but he wasn't 'special' and coming off of torn ACL/MCL I'm thinking pass on counting on him. Bring him back but as a replacement for Torrain, I'm over him.

WR-If we don't try all that we can to make a huge splash here, meaning trying to sign DeSean Jackson or Vincent Jackson or trading for a WR that will be a major failing. This is the only other position I'd be OK drafting instead of a QB in the 1st round next year.

OL depth-I may be in the minority in being ok with our starting OL. We were moving the ball pretty well early on with the starters prior to injuries and changes. We need to get some quality players that won't represent a huge dropoff when injuries occur.

DL depth-Add a player or two in the middle rounds but this unit is decent.

LB depth-Rak and Kerrigan are keepers.. Riley has some potential as a #2. It's unpopular but they should look for an upgrade to Fletcher. He's not getting younger, faster or taller. He's a major liability in pass defense. McIntosh is done.. We need a free agent and a draft pick here.

DB-D. Hall, gone. Doughty, gone. Otogwe, ehh. Landry, ehh. Barnes, GTF out. This unit needs a complete overhaul.

ST-Fire Danny Smith, cut Banks and let Paul handle PR/KR duties.

I wonder if the Redskins are having financial issues. I'm all for financial restraint after the Haynesworth foolishness and the previous wasted contracts but we've got to be a player in free agency next year instead of sitting it out like we did the prior two offseasons.
