It's frustrating.....the Skins have so many needs.....what(and who) to draft?
Click to expand...

1. QB. This one is tricky. I like Gabbert but I expect he'll be gone. The other QBs are very raw and inconsistent. Alex Smith (I know, I know) is going to be available. He's a mature and smart guy. He suffered from Jason Campbellitis. He went through, what, 4-5 coordinators in his first 5 years? If he's cheap, he's worth a shot... at least as a serviceable QB until our Franchise guy becomes available. He'll have no problem learning the system under Kyle. Late pick worthy QBs are Andy Dalton and McElroy. Neither are franchise QBs though.

2. OL/DL. LT/RT I think are in good hands. Guard/Center are weak spots. LDE is good with Carriker/Jarmon but RDE is a weak spot with Holliday (15th Season). NT is decent with Bryant. We could use another NT.

2.5. LBs. Fletcher is old. McIntosh isn't grasping the 3-4. Alexander is cut. Only Rak is good. That leaves 3 spots glaring. If we can get our hands on Herzlich and Mohamed in the late rounds I think that will greatly enhance our ILB corps. If we can pick up Quinn (maybe via trade-down) in the 1st with 2 ILB picks it'll come together. Manny Lawson and Kevin Burnett are both FAs that are possible stop-gaps. We'll have to go FA for this as the LB corps is devastated... and is the most important group in the 3-4.

4. We need explosiveness and consistency at WR and RB. I think if we can pick up Da'Rel Scott and DMo (who I really think will thrive in a stable Pro Style offense and good QB) in the late rounds that will take care of that. I've also heard the Skins are shopping Rice. I like Rice but his physical consistency is a concern.

We need another CB and a good FS. Landry looked back to his old self at SS last year.

I'm ok with shopping Cooley IF we can get a good return. I think Fred Davis is very capable.

I'd be happy to get Julio. Though if at all possible, trading down a few spots to pick up some more picks would be good too.

Late round WR possibilities

Top 5 Late Round WR Prospects - Hogs Haven

1. Courtney Smith: South Alabama
I was blown away the first time I saw Smith up close at this year’s Senior Bowl. At 6-5, 230-pounds he was as physically imposing as any receiver in the draft and for his size, exhibited good explosion and ran well. Now, he’s a bit linear and has had some inconsistencies catching the football. But a size/speed threat like him is definitely worth a late round flyer.

2. Jeff Maehl: Oregon
He isn’t the biggest or fastest of wide outs. However, he knows how to get open, possesses good fluidity and looks natural going up to catch the football. He was one of the top performers in all the short area quickness tests at the Combine and looks like a potential slot guy who will be able to get open in the NFL.

3. Denarius Moore: Tennessee
Every time I watched Moore on tape he showcased a good initial burst off the line, could get off press and accelerated well down the field. Plus, he was physical and coordinated when asked to go up and adjust to the football. He’s not a real fluid or savvy route runner, but as a vertical threat I could see him making plays from the inside at the next level.

4. Ricardo Lockette: Fort Valley State
An out and out burner who has the straight-line speed to consistently get down the field. Displays average fluidity for his size and has some upside as a route runner, but it’s his overall second gear that will intrigue late in the draft.

5. Chris Matthews: Kentucky
A king sized wide out prospect at 6-5 who takes a couple steps to get up to full speed, but is tough to keep pace with down the field and displays a comfort level working the intermediate pass game. Is raw, but has a little Malcom Floyd to his game.

McShay has the Skins taking Christian Ponder in Round 2. I'm ok with that....or possibly Dalton.

Albert Haynesworth indicted on charge of sexual abuse - Crime Scene - The Washington Post

District of Columbia grand jury on Tuesday indicted Redskins defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth on a charge of misdemeanor sexual abuse in connection with an alleged assault on a waitress at a downtown hotel in February.

The indictment stems from an incident in which the embattled football player allegedly caressed the breasts of a waitress at the W hotel as she was clearing the table.

Rumor on twitter that the Skins trade up to #2 spot to get Gabbert because he isn't going to fall past the Bengals. Of course it could be more bs from Shanny

Shanny just said on the radio he has 3-4 guys they like a lot at the #10 spot and also said the QB crop is "much deeper" this year than ever before
