bubba9497 Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 http://washingtontimes.com/sports/20060225-121030-1323r.htm cick link for full article Receivers could help Washington By Ryan O'Halloran THE WASHINGTON TIMES February 25, 2006 INDIANAPOLIS -- Among the many problems the Washington Redskins faced last offseason, receiver was at the top of the list. Laveranues Coles and Rod Gardner wanted out and the team acquiesced by trading both players. In return for Coles, the Redskins hit paydirt with Santana Moss, who had 84 catches and made the Pro Bowl. In return for Gardner, they got Carolina's seventh-round draft pick this year. But as the NFL Scouting Combine continues today at RCA Dome, the Redskins -- at least in the eyes of many -- still need help at receiver. David Patten battled a knee injury and was limited to 22 catches, James Thrash is more of a special teams player/No. 4 receiver and the warranty on Taylor Jacobs should be expired. Limited cap space and a thin free agent class leave it unlikely the Redskins will acquire a receiver next weekend. That leaves the draft for the Redskins to find a player who will bring size to the team. Moss and Patten are both 5-foot-10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thinking Skins Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 Wow, they call this a thin free agent class for WR? I disagree with that, especially with the type of players that Gibbs is looking for. I think that we can do a lot through free agency this offseason. After Desmond Howard, Westbrook, and Gardner I'm kinda hesitant to draft another WR and call him the savior of our offense. But I guess we've got to start using the draft sooner or later.

Boy2Der Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 Martin Nance, Martin Nance, Martin Nance I thinks even if we get a guy through free agency we should still get this guy he has all the potentials to be a reliable receiver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He runs under a 4.50 at the combine this weekend hes the first reciever taken of the board, mark my words. Mike Hass, Jason Avant, Greg Lee, Maurice Stovall could all be nice fits here. Even Chad Jackson could if we could somhow get him. Though ive heard Chad Jackson dispeared againts high ranked teams in college. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 We just need someone decent to line up next to Moss. 3 catches per game would be just fine. I would not mind Stovall, Jackson, or Nance, but I still think we should go OL/DL in the 2nd round... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin101 Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 Why OL in the 2nd round? Thats one of our strenghts. I can see us going for DL or WR in the 2nd round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyDave Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 We need depth on both lines. If Thomas goes down who is the replacement since Ray Brown retired? And I dont think we resigned Dockery yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though ive heard Chad Jackson dispeared againts high ranked teams in college. No way in this world Nance comes off before Santonio Holmes. I agree about some of those guys being good fits, but don't discount someone like Greg Jennings from Western Michigan. He's not big, but he fits the mold of WR we have targeted since Gibbs returned.

jtyler42 Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 I think Stovall is going to be available when we pick and if he is I think he will be the pick... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonef1de Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Why OL in the 2nd round? Thats one of our strenghts. I can see us going for DL or WR in the 2nd round. The depth of our OL is extremely thin. With 1 injury and Ray Brown cramping up in the playoffs the line was in disarray. We need to have quality backups at every position on the line.

nace14 Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 i think stovall has the best chance of adapting to the nfl. look at the advances he made last season under an nfl coach. i'd love to see him opposite moss. i'd also love to see him in the slot with cooley outside of him.

Stovall could also be Al Saunders Tony Gonzales and be converted to tight end. He has the size/wieght to do so.Then Draft Greg Jennings or Mike Hass, even Jason Avant and put him at the number 2 reciever. Quarterback: Jason Campbell Running Back: Clinton Portis Fullback: Mike Sellers/Chris Cooley Wide Reciever 1:Santana Moss Wide Reciever 2:Greg Jennings/Mike Hass/Jason Avant Wide Reciever 3: David Patten Tight End:Chris Cooley Tight End:Maurice Stovall Hopfully One of those number 2 reicevers would pan out, that would make our offensive personell awesome. And lets face it, theres no possible way Jason Campbell busts. Perfect Physical Traits, Really Smart, Played on a winner in College, Learned playbook, studied brunells play, adjusted to the area for a year on the bench. David Patten, I personally think would dominate from the 3rd reciever slot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cphil006 Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 It is this simple...sign a free agent WR for cheap that is extremely productive....Jimmy Smith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the free agent class of WR is actually pretty thick. It is just thin in terms of high profile WRs. But it does have good depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
