EnFoRcEr_uPu Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 I apologize ahead of time is this is a re-post, I did not see it on the board already. An excellent read though! http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/5316540 "Antwaan Randle El...As such, he will be incredibly overpaid by one of the many teams in need of a legitimate number two wide receiver. That sounds right up the Washington Redskins' alley to me." "John Abraham...The shoulder injury to Drew Brees has quieted any Phillip Rivers for Abraham trade talk, so let's send him to Washington." Heck of a read, they also list the free agents from best to worst(opinion-based obvsiously). Here's the link to that if you're interested: http://scout.scout.com/a.z?s=211&p=9&c=12&nid=83&lnid=83&yr=2006 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiefPowhatan17 Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 I just find it hard to believe that we can take care of both DE and WR issues in Free Agency, but if they do then we can go after Jeff King as our TE in the draft.:helmet::helmet::helmet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimm Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 I cant see Randel-El being in Washington next year, he is going to be incredibly over-paid after winning a Super Bowl and i dont think Coach Gibbs will buy into the hype surrounding him.

King isn't even an upgrade over Cooley. king is a play maker and has great hands, can take a hit and hang on to the ball. he would be an upgrade over royal not cooley. we would not get a te to replace cooley, everyone should know that, it would be for royals replacement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gator Bowl Player Profile Virginia Tech TE Jeff King A steady, yet unspectacular player, such as King, won’t win any notoriety contests, but in many ways he is the Hokies’ offensive MVP and the personification of what it means to be a complete tight end. He’s 6-5, 255 pounds and can do it all from his position. He blocks, he catches and he even makes contributions on special teams. Best of all, he’s clutch and hardly ever misses an assignment. When Tech quarterbacks were near the goal line or needed a first down the past two years, No. 90 was always in their crosshairs. And why not? King runs tight routes and never drops a pass. This season, he’s pulled down a team-leading five touchdown receptions, giving him a school-record 11 for his career. And yet, he may be even more valuable when Tech keeps the ball on the ground. King is akin to having a sixth offensive lineman, who graded out 90% or higher in every game this fall, and administered 37 knockdown blocks, a huge number for a tight end with his pass-catching skills. Unlike a Marcedes Lewis or a Leonard Pope, King isn’t going to floor anyone with his speed or leaping ability at next February’s combine. The NFL, however, is going to love his production, work ethic and penchant for consistently locating and taking advantage of the soft spot on an opposing defense. He might be a good option in the 3rd rnd, and he might even fall to the 5th because of all the publicised talent ahead of him. That way we can use our 2nd rnd pick on a DE or WR depending who falls.

Fifty Gut Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 the sports talk radio circuit this week has been saying that Al Saunders will coach up our current crop of WRs, meaning we don't make such a splash in the free agency Abraham seems like a perfect fit for such a great defense, and then we'd draft a WR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMalcolmConnection Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 UGH. I'm so sick of hearing how we overpay for this and overpay for that.

HailRiggoRanger Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 There is some credibility to this report. NY Daily News (Feb. 9) is also citing team sources that Abraham will be traded before the draft: http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/5042/news;_ylt=AimIOcmng04CbKpz0Q.Vs0r.uLYF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoDaddy Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Why would we want Jeff King? There are at least 6-7 TE's that are better than him. King isn't even an upgrade over Cooley. We're talking about a 2nd TE correct? Or did we forget about Cooley? I keep seeing these kind of comments on various threads. Why do people think that going after someone from the large crop of pass-catching TEs means we are looking to "upgrade over Cooley"? Cooley is the H-Back. He has his position which is different from a pure TE. The TEs many of us are interested in would serve the purpose of augmenting the passing attack by making available an additional big target (some of them can even stretch the field a bit). Just like Joe Gibbs revitalized the H-Back position when he came back, some of us are hoping he and Al Saunders will find a TE that provides them with the options that Tony Gonzalez provided in KC. To everyone who says, "there aren't enough balls to go around", a 2WR, TE, H-Back, RB set is perfectly reasonable and would provide multiple options for formations and plays -- who's going to get the ball? Cooley or Byrd/Lewis/Fasano/Klopfenstein/King/etc? How about Moss or #2...? I know some of you think Royal is fine, and, you are right he is "fine." But we need more than that. We need someone that defenses will have to respect as a legitimate threat to catch the ball every down that he is in. Just my thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
