Redskins Offseason Thread

We only have 3. The trade with the Broncos just made us move up a couple of spots in both the 4th and the 5th, and get an extra 5th.

This is why I'd like to trade down in the first, to use an extra 2nd on a guard.

Guys for depth on the OL can be found later in FA, we know Nsekhe and Kouandjio are real quality back ups, but TJ Clemmings and Catalina are just flat out awful. Bergstrom is ok to fill the gap if needed.

We def need a LG more so than a DL imo, which is why I hate not being able to draft Nelson (who is the best player in the draft).

Billy Price might be another good option

True and the kid from UTEP as well. Nelson probably wouldn't be so highly valued due to being a G but since Dallas took Z Martin that has all changed. I remember the "experts" all clowning Jerry for that pick.

There is no way we need LG more than a run stopping DL.

If we can get a true stud at LG then that can make the entire line better. It helps control the clock and keep the defense fresh if we have a better running game. When it's always 2nd and 10 or worse when there's a run on 1st down then that puts a strain on the entire offense and makes it tough to keep the chains moving. I'm so sick and tired of not being able to run the ball.

I agree but being last in run defense keeps the team D on the field instead of making critical stops

Payne and Price, nice ring to it

Id take it.

draft a couple more Oline later in the draft. Re-Sign Luavo to a non-guarantee and tell him he wont see the field unless someone is injured.

The Lines would be set.

I am not a fan of Luavao.
When healthy he is barely ok. I think we need to do better and younger with a development guy, instead and injury prone underachieving older guy like Luavoa or however you spell his name.

True...its just at this point of the market...he's probably the best available depth guy at interior Oline on the market.

Most teams with actual plans took about 15-17 guys depth guys off the market so far at Oline. Another 10 depth guys went off the market at slightly larger rates who may compete to start...say 1 or 2 year deals at about Nsheke cost or slightly greater. He is the one depth guy we have who is extremely solid.

Has there been any news on Bree or Junior? Wonder if we would bring those guys back

Scandrick and McPhee signings should have closed the books on those 2.

Yeah I guess so, but nobody has even seemed interested in those guys lol

But were we last in run defense with Allen Ioannidis and Foster healthy?

We were last (or close to it) because they were hurt.

I'm not saying we don't need even more depth, but it's not clear cut to me that we must use our 1st rounder on the DL.

Best player available, please.
