Redskins: 2012 Off-Season-Free Agency/Trades

[SBXVII]

I really don't get the BFD on the age issue. Players will come and go all the time and new ones will need to be drafted to replace them. As long as they have talent and can help the team then there should be no issue. This team should always be looking to upgrade at every position no matter what age the players are.

It's a development thing. 24, 25, 26 year olds should look better against college competition than 19, 20, 21 year olds. If they don't there's probably not much there when projecting to the next level.

If a player is talented enough, he'll get taken regardless of advanced age. The NFL has an insatiable need for really good college players. They'll just be devalued somewhat.
