PRE-DRAFT DEPTH CHART QB/WR/RB/TE

Today we take a look at the "skilled" positions on offense.

QB:
JASON CAMPBELL
TODD COLLINS
SAM HOLLENBACH

I think the Skins are set here and I do not expect them to make any changes before the start of the season. Hopefully Campbell can come back strong, but if he does struggle, I think a Todd Collins sigting would be welcomed by the DC faithful. The problem is that you have to make it clear that it is Campbells job, or his confidence might waver.

RB:
CLINTON PORTIS
LADELL BETTS
ROCK CARTWRIGHT
MIKE SELLERS
ERIC SHELTON
MARCUS MASON

With the top 3, I think there is definately enough depth for an NFL backfield. Portis is the horse and Betts is the sideshow. I think everyone was expecting more from Ladell last year, but I am not sure of how much he will be able to accomplish with limited touches. Either way, the RB position is taken care of.

WR:
SANTANA MOSS
ANTWAN RANDLE EL
JAMES THRASH
BILLY MCMULLEN
ANTHONY MIX
BURL TOLER
MAURICE MANN

The Redskins desperately need to upgrade their receiving corp to allow the offense to grow with Campbell. Moss is a stud, but Randle El is better served as a 3rd WR, where you can get creative with him. The first round pick this year very well may be a WR. As you can see from the list above, there is no depth and if Moss or Randle El get hurt, you will see some major issues.

TE:
CHRIS COOLEY
TODD YODER
TYLER ECKER

Cooley is a stud, and Yoder is a servicable vet. TE is a strong area for the Skins.
