What Should They Do? - Redskins


With the Redskins in the unenviable position of having only one pick in day one, the logical thing for them to do would be to trade down two to three times in the first round in order to drop into the early twenties and select the best player available, acquiring much needed picks in the process. However if they had to stay put, they would be unable to fill the teams biggest need at DE or WR with the 6th pick as no player of that value is still available at this slot. The next area of need would be to draft a FS for the purposes of moving Sean Taylor to his more natural positon of SS, where his gambling style will have less effect. LaRon Landry is far and away the best FS in this draft, with 4.3 speed, great size, and even better instincts on the field. Landry will instantly solidify the secondary, assuming that Shawn Springs can stay healthy as well. It will be intersting to see which Landry becomes the toast of the area as LaRon's brother Dawan is the starting FS for the Baltimore Ravens.
