Breeland hands down, Hall in the slot and Amerson just there I guess for now. Maybe they move him to FS

IDK, did he even start for SF? Seems like a lot of a 3rd corner.

he was their number 1 corner . . . and far better than anything we've had in a while

The off field stuff bothers me, but let's be real about it: Scot McCloughan is going to be a GM who's willing to give these guys a chance. Especially when they're obviously as talented as Culliver. He's easily better than any corner the 'skins have on their roster right now. From ESPN:

"Culliver's plus-10.8 coverage grade over the final 13 games ranked fifth-best among cornerbacks, and his allowing one catch per 13.3 coverage snaps ranked sixth among cornerbacks with 300-plus coverage snaps. Also, he had a 50.7 percent catch rate on the season."

Again, the guy was recovering from an ACL injury. Being two years removed from the injury now, he could potentially be one of the best corners in the league.

I love the moves Scot McCloughan is making. He's addressing a very horrible defense, outside of Robinson, Kerrigan, and Breeland. He's bringing in guys who are still young, who will be upgrades, but ultimately, these guys will be depth players, because McCloughan is still going to turn to the draft to continue solidifying these positions. I wouldn't doubt if he's drafts heavily on the defensive side of the ball. Things are not going to be fixed in year one, but by McCloughan's third year as GM, this team is going to be dangerous.

Culliver is very very good, for anybody not familiar with him. He's our #1 by far.

Maybe the best thing is for Hall to move to safety at this point. How he recovers from that achilles of course is the key, but it would be amazing if he still has the same burst to drive on the ball at the CB spot.

As a long time 49er fan who has adopted the Redskins as my second team because I moved to Virginia from Southern California, Culliver is hands down better than anyone the Redskins have had in their secondary lately. He has amazing closing speed. Unfortunately he has serious character issues, but nothing that has resulted in a lengthy suspension.

He has made negative comments about gays and women, ran over a bicyclist
then threatened a bystander with brass knuckles while fleeing. Oddly enough he has no issues with drugs or alcohol, so you can't even blame "drunk and stupid" for his behavior. Great corner, but a couple POS as a human being.

Like the moves so far, hitting on needs and not busting the bank in the process.

Most definitely! Actually, the draft is Scot McCloughan's specialty.

[over the mountain]

anyone know how much cap we have remaining or are contract terms still too unknown.

that's what i thought/hoped.

i am very excited to see what we do, starting w 1 pick in each round. i'm going to go out on a limb and say that we draft more than 7 players.

[sevier2]

With the scarcity of Safeties available in the draft/Free Agency, and our front 7 getting a major face lift the past two weeks, are we prepping for a trade-down Landon Collins pick?

That's sort of the route i've wanted us to go, i'm just not sure if i'm totally sold on Collins.

DREAM SCENARIO: Redskins sign a veteran Free Safety to come in for a couple years and then take Collins around 15 with a trade down, adding more picks later on as well. I'd love to get a ball hawk FS but if it's not there, it's just not there.

Allow Collins to grow as the Strong Safety and get our Ball Hawk next year or the year after.

Any traction to that thought or am I sipping too much Kool-Aid?
