Well I'll get us started.
Assuming we keep the 6th overall choice I see one of the following players in a Redskins uniform next year.
Gaines Adams
Jamaal Anderson
Alan Branch
Its obvious we draft defensive line. Will we go Defensive End, or Defensive Tackle? Well, we have a young Kedric Golston who stepped in last year and played, to my expectations, very good. Also we have depth with Cornelius Griffin and Joe Salaveia (sp?). When I look at defensive end, I see older players. Phillip Daniels, Renaldo Wynn. The thing that concerns me is that the team has not approached them about taking pay cuts or restructuring yet because of the locker room and leadership value they bring to the team.

I think that tackle is not as much of a need. Griffin when healthy can get pretty good penetration for a tackle. I think with a relatively small Carter on one side, you need to get the bigger end here in Anderson. He is more of a force on the run, but has a good motor to eventually build elite pass rushing skills also. I would like to see Wynn or Daniels stay, one of the two, or both if they take pay cuts, but I doubt that.
On the other hand, if we had Branch in the middle he would make everybody around him better. To block out Griffin and Branch, that would take at least 3 linemen, or two and a fullback. This would create great lanes for blitzers and generally make the offense better.
I can't really assess the needs untill after the free agency period. Allen out of KC is trying to get out, and if we get him everything changes.
As of now, my draft board goes as:
Branch
Andersen
Adams
Okoye
Carriker
C.Johnson
Moss
If Okoye's stock doesn't rise too much from the combine, I would like to see if we could trade down and snag him and get some extra picks. I think if we are going long run, we need an anchor in the defensive line aka Branch.

I think DT is by far the biggest need for the Skins. Every year Griffin gets hurt for 2-3 games, and the dropoff in the run D is HUGE. I think Branch should be our #1 target in the draft because he could be a double edged sword for us. Our defensive scheme calls for Dline penetration, and he is both big enough to clog the middle, and agile enough for moderate penetration.
In my opinion, if we draft Gaines Adams he would only be a pass rush specialist on our team, because he and Andre Carter would get torched on running downs together. Our run D is weak on the edges as it is.
Jamal Anderson would be a better pick over Adams for our team, because he would complement Carter much better. Only problem is we have 2 similar older veterans on the roster at LDE, but Anderson should provide a better pass rush.
All that said, I think the Skins could be in prime position to trade back and still get Branch or Anderson. With the offseason moves, I think its very possible Adrian Peterson could fall to our spot, and a team like Atlanta or Buffalo could us a good deal. The question is, do we risk Branch getting selected by Miami.
