Most of you don't want to believe this but....we will have the worst WR corps. going into the 2014 offseason. We have Garcon, Hankerson, Robinson and Williams. 3 of the 4 probably won't make another NFL roster. We need a minimum of 2 WRs, a starter opposite Garcon and a slot WR. Baldwin and Tate are better than anything we have outside of Garcon.

Its not that bad. If we take big WR in the draft (which id much rather do) to be the guy opposite Garcon plus have Reed out there then thats not too bad really. Hankerson and Robinson arent great but they arent useless either especially when no more than a #3. If we get that #2 I think the oline has to be focused on far more than WR.

That being said i hope we dont sign Decker, Edelman, Tate, Baldwin, Hester, McLuster and other returner WRs. Id be ok with Maclin, Nicks, and Britt on reasonable contracts that have little risk. i dont know if thats possible but its what im ok with.

You know...I was hating on Decker because he falls on the ground and drops passes for no reason but I think he will help Garcon thrive and will finally be our real#2. Tate is a real#2. McCluster is a great slot, backfield and KR/PR option. Britt is a great cheap dice roll. Nicks is risky...he wants to get paid but won't ever play a full season(i wouldn't take'em) Macklin may not be a good option either....

Its not that i think those players are bad its just that we could spend our money in much wiser areas. Im not paying Decker big money to be my #2. Same goes for Tate. I really believe that we could find a legit #1 WR in the draft.

As for Nicks i agree hes risky which is why Id only do that on a cheap risk free contract which it doesnt sound like hes likely to take.

decker could get big money but i am not sure a tate does

sorry dean no talib

Byrd should be an easy signing. 5 yrs 35 mil probably back end loaded.

I believe you, three would not make other teams and the fourth would be a #2 I just think that Robinson could be that slot guy once Moss is gone, We draft for a Number one, return Garcon back to his more familiar spot, then retool their backups.

i think hank , robby would be a 4-6 on an nfl roster but we do need 2 wrs

Im hoping we get Saffold from the rams for two reasons.

1. We need a good Rt.
2. It would be nice to steal him and make up a little for the RG3 trape.

Aside from that, I will wait a bit to make a serious wish list.

 

[deanpet21]

besides Talib, Saffold should be high on the priority list. he can play G or OT we should get this guy. He is my #2 Fa we have to have. My top three are Talib, Saffold, and Mack. I don't think the Pats would give the money that talib wants to keep him. Talib is all about the money, I doubt he would take less to stay with the Pats. That is why I think we have a shot at him.

And this is why I hope we stay far away from him.

I know alot of us have been focusing on the ILBs coming up in the draft (Skov, Jones, Smallwood, and Borland in particular), but what if we fill that need in FA and only take one of these guise in the draft if its a total steal... some good options there in FA...

Redskins Offseason Focus - Linebacker - Hogs Haven

Donald Butler(25) - San Diego Chargers

Pat Angerer(26) - Indianapolis Colts

Brandon Spikes(26) - New England Patriots

Arthur Moats(25) - Buffalo Bills

Joe Mays(28) - Houston Texans

Wouldnt mind Spikes or Angerer. Real reason Im not focused on the draft yet is because we have so many needs that you cant nail down the draft focus until you see who we retain/pickup in Free Agency first. Our precieved needs come April could be vastly different than what we have right now.

The ILB from Mich st could be grabbed in the 4th or 5 th round. I stay away from those FA ILb, we would have to overpay for mediocre talent. If we are going to overpay at least get someone with great talent.

So you would rather we over pay for a corner we KNOW we will have to over pay for?? I think most of the guys just mentioned at ILB will come at a much more reasonable price and not force us to start a rookie ILB.

 

[deanpet21]

yes I would overpay for talib b/c we know he is a top 5 cover guy in the nfl. Those FA ILB guys are avg at best and everyone usually gets paid in FA. We do have Robinson coming back, so a rookie is not forced to start assuming we sign back riley.

Robinson has spent the last two seasons injured, not some one I would want to rely on at this point. And as for Talib, I think he is the type of player who will get paid and then fall off. I would rather we get a young guy who is maybe not as big a name, but also has some upside to him. Im hoping we avoid name shopping for the most part when it comes to Skill positions.
