If I were the GM- Washington

This organization went through a whole lot of change throughout this season.  Bringing in Allen and Shanahan to run the football operation was a smart idea.  Dan Snyder should cease his meddling with the football side of the equation with this group running things.

Washington was a Jekyll and Hyde team.  Their defense was very good- although they are moving into a 3-4 with Jim Haslett running the unit- while the offense wasn't, as their line and running backs suffered numerous injuries.  They have some players on defense with Brian Orakpo, Albert Haynesworth, Andre Carter, and LaRon Landry, of whom they can build around.  As much as I like London Fletcher, he's a 4-3 middle linebacker.  I think he'd wear down as a 3-4 inside linebacker, taking on more interior lineman over the course of the season.  They should try to work with him, before making a move to either trade or release him.

The offense needs an overhaul, which is where Shanahan comes into play.  They need to make a decision on retaining Jason Campbell.  I would keep him.  He would do well under the guidance of Shanahan.  Their second decision should be on Clinton Portis.  Does he have enough in the tank?  I think he's more of a complimentary back at this point of his career.  He's taken a lot hits over the years.  Their line is in shambles, and is their by far their biggest weakness.  Their greatest strength on the offensive side of the ball is the tight end position.  Chris Cooley should recover from his injury, and return to Pro Bowl-form.  Fred Davis and Todd Yoder were very productive in Cooley's absence, particularly Davis.  They should use that surplus to their advantage to acquire additional assets.

Their first move they should make after re-signing Campbell and restructuring Clinton Portis's contract is to trade Fred Davis to the St. Louis Rams for a pair of fourth round picks.  Though, I'd try to make the second fourth rounder have an escalator clause for Davis's performance.  Obviously, both teams have to settle on a base performance, then base the compensation of performance above the baseline.

In the draft, the Redskins should stay put and Okung if he's available.  He's the best tackle in the draft, and fits their greatest need.  If Campbell goes unsigned, they will probably take Bradford, since he's the top quarterback available- providing his shoulder is healthy.  If both players are gone, a player to consider is Eric Berry.  Considering the Redskins created the fewest turnovers in the league last season, a playmaker on the defense is not a terrible direction to go.
