I like the idea of signing a good young veteran WR - rather than drafting a WR high. As we've seen with Doctson - and every other WR the Skins have drafted since Art Monk, WR's need a couple of years to learn the route tree, and with the trade for Alex Smith - the Skins have to win now. Also, there are no stud WR's in this draft - from what I heard.

Draft a big run-stuffing D-lineman 1st - Vita Vea or Da'Ron Payne and hopefully a RB like Derrieus Guice in the second round.

And he put up his 2017 numbers with the 3rd string QB mostly. It's a real shame we didn't get to see him play a full season with a legit college QB. MD had 2 of them going into the season. With the lack of top WR's, DJ could go 1st round.

Amendola sure raised his price in the postseason. He's not a size and speed guy, but he has that Gary Clark quickness that allows him to get open and make people miss him after the catch. I'd sure take him.

I like Amendola too... but I'd first kick the tires on Robinson. Given his injury, he might come at a really good price vis a vis his upside. Plus, we have Crowder who is a poor man's Amendola while we don't have anyone who excels on the outside.

"So where's Kirk going?" It's late at night and I am talking to an NFL head coach who plays in the division of a team that is one of the rumored suitors for Kirk Cousins. And as the coach says hi to me, he asks me where Kirk is going. (He knows I am a big Cousins fan and follow him closely.) I say to him what I have been saying publicly since the Super Bowl.

"Minnesota. I think he winds up in Minnesota."

The coach nods. "That's what we are hearing, too."

The consensus of folks I talk to is that unless new Vikings offensive coordinator John DeFilippo completely bombs his eventual meeting with Cousins, he's gonna be a Viking.

I spoke with a few coaches and executives of Cousins' former team, my beloved Washington Redskins. They all recognize the need for a speed wide receiver to line up opposite of Josh Doctson, with Jamison Crowder in the slot. I expect the team to address this need in free agency as opposed to the draft. You never know how everything will shake out, but it would not surprise me to see Paul Richardson as a Redskin in 2018.

As long as we're on Doctson, one coach had an interesting take on him. He felt the Redskins' offense (and specifically Cousins) didn't target him enough last season. "He's 6-3 with a 43-inch vertical. He's not a guy that will always be open, but even when he's not open, he's open, you know? Throw a jump ball and let him make a play." (From the 2016 combine, he's actually 6-2 with a 41-inch vertical, but whatever. The point is well taken. Doctson can get up high.) Call me a homer all you want, but just warning you now. I'll be on Doctson as a post-hype sleeper this year.

Last thing on the Redskins: While praise was universal for Chris Thompson (and I heard they are really high on Byron Marshall as well), the tone was less enthusiastic when discussing Rob Kelley and Samaje Perine. My expectation is that the first- and second-down running back for the Redskins is not currently on the roster. They'll address the position in either the draft or free agency (or both), and I would be surprised if both Kelley and Perine were both on the Skins' roster when the season starts. For what it's worth, Isaiah Crowell was a name mentioned to me as someone who has fans in D.C.

Yeah, Robinson's only 24 and a stud when healthy. Amendola's 32 - guessing he'll end up back in New England. Skins will have 2 5'8 guys in Crowder and Thompson on 3rd downs, so it'll be smart to add a 6'3 WR to go with Doctson on the outside. I hope they sign Robinson for more than 1 year, though. No more patching - get some continuity for future years to go with our QB.
