Truthfully, my team, the Redskins cannot do enough this off-season after the years of Dan Snyder acting like he is running a fantasy football team with Vinny Cerrato as his proxy. The team has some good left in it, based on the close finishes with a lot of top teams last year, including the Narleans Saints. The system is broken though, and hopefully Shanahan will fix it.
Top moves that need to be done:
1. Refurbish the offensive line. Years of overlooking the O-Line needs in the draft led to the current predicament. They need a few years of not drafting the "sexy" pick or signing the "sexy" free agent.
2. Get some young legs in the backfield. Portis is becoming fragile. I have faith in Shanahan and his RBs coach, especially the way the Broncos turned out RBs in the past.
3. Pick a QB and stick with him. My thoughts would be to draft one in the second round. Campbell needs a new home. The franchise screwed him up pretty good - all the different offenses he's had to learn, the attempts to part with him for Cutler and Sanchez, and the beating he took last year behind the makeshift O-Line. If I were him, I would get the hell out of there while I can still walk.
To sum it up, they need a lot of work, and it all starts with Dan Snyder running the business and not playing fantasy football with a real NFL team. GO SKINS!
