If we had to pick the best guy out of that group, who would we take? Cofield? Jenkins? Jenkins has yet to play a snap, but might very well be our best DL-man.

I would have much rather spent Carriker's money+ a couple mil more on a NT or Eric Winston if there was ever really any interest.

Anybody know how the visit with Demetrius Bell went? He would be a great addition and he is only 27 yrs old.

He left without a contract. Supposedly he's using us to drive his price up with the bills

No I mean we have a shot if things don't work out with the bills, but it doesn't seem likely we get Bell. Id give us a 35% chance we get Bell.

ok. I hope we can get him.

Even though, it has yet to translate on the field. The combination of Bruce Allen, Mike Shanahan, and even Dan Snyder has made major improvements in the redskins personnel.

RGIII will bring with him what it's going to take for the redskins to get over the hump for the redskins players talent to consistently start showing on the field.

I would say Carriker, Bowen, and Cofield are above average. I see Jenkins becoming special as well.

Hmmm. Maybe they'll show that on the field this year. Second year in the something or something should be good for something.

^ So you say they were below average last year?

Bowen and Carriker without question. In Cofield's case, the group of "nose tackles" is so small and exclusive that it's hard to say he was below average. I thought he performed adequately.

Cofield was below average as far as as all defensive tackles go, but that might have just been an effect of the scheme, i.e. he's doing the job of two men in a 4-3 scheme. Same with Carriker and Bowen I suppose, although Bowen wore down considerably after a hot start. He wasn't good at all when we had that long losing streak.

I wouldn't pick any of the five as not NFL caliber. I think it's just mostly a group of available guys, and Jenkins, the prospect who hasn't played a snap yet.

NT's? I mean we have some solid NT's now as it is. Theres some good ones in the draft, but thats not a bigger need than secondary, OL, ILB, WR, 3rd string RB, etc.

At least 3 high rounders who we would be lucky to have a shot at in the third round. After the third round, you're either taking a big guy and hoping to teach him to be good, or you're taking a smaller guy with the skill set (like Neild) and asking him to put on weight for the role.

The three are

Poe, Memphis
Ta'amu, Washington
Chapman, Alabama
