I was surprised by Burfict and Minnifield. I wanted both. Getting both as UFA would have been a dream.
As it turns out, one of my friends is a Bengals fan and had no idea who the guy was when they brought him in. He said, "camp fodder" so I bet him $20 that Burfict would be starting by the end of the year.
At least I got a free lunch out of him. Would rather have him on the team though.

Interesting to see what they do in FA, that would change my thinking. Also wondering how last year's OL picks are turning out. They looked OK in preseason but we haven't heard anything since. And that is a good thing.
I think that Mara is the one who should be fined for conflict of interest!! The day before FA and we get the fine!!
Any link or is this just rumor. With all of the hits that Goodall has taken and the inept handling of BountyGate maybe the Skins cut a deal to avoid them joining or aiding the NLFPA?
i missed this post somehow . . . do you have a link to the article?? or who is the source?? why do they think this?? i thought we quit fighting . . .
Same here. I sure hope they stick to Mara!
While I watch the train wreck of a pregame show (audio problems) on Comcast, going to forecast another Skins draft.
Using NewNFLDraft.com as my player pool. I select for the Redskins anyone available at each pick, based on who is available in the NewNFLDraft latest mock.
2) Demond Trufant CB Washington- Trufant is a good one and the Redskins needs to focus on offensive tackle, cornerback and safety in this draft. Trufant is the first of several DB's taken in the 2013 draft.
3) Brennan Williams T UNC- I end up picking him in just about every mock. Projects as booked with Trent for the remainder of the decade.
4) D.J. Swearinger S South Carolina- Nasty athlete fills a real need. We can hope that Tanard Jackson is in the lineup by October and that Brandon Meriweather is healthy, otherwise need some additional talent.
5) Collin Klein ATH Kansas State- Does he project as a safety at the next level? Emergency option quarterback? Big, hard working kid is a playmaker.
5) Johnny Adams CB Michigan State- Washington needs to continue to pump new blood into the secondary. Will Minnifield pan out? Will DeAngelo Hall rework his contract or be let go?
6) Chris Gragg TE Arkansas- One of the top tight ends in the Southeastern Conference. Paulsen overachieved this season and lets face it Niles Paul isn't a tight end. If Fred Davis isn't brought back, at least one tight end needs to be brough into camp.
7) Omar Hunter DT Florida- With Chris Neild coming off injury, the Redskins need an insurance policy behind Barry Cofield. Hunter was a major part of an absolute wrecking crew on the defensive side of the ball for the Gators.
Going to stick this at the top for all draft discussion through the draft. Thanks for keeping all this updated Tom.
Skins need to come out with a RT, CB and S in free agency and the first three rounds of the NFL Draft.
