The Skins have something. Their goal should be, first, to protect it. Only secondarily to improve it. Many improvements turn out not to be, after all.
What are the Redskins' assets?:
Players who can move ball and score points.
Great OL coach
GM who can ID true talent and manage money capably
Head coach who can scheme good plays.
Long snapping.
Punting and placekicking
These are their core assets. These should be protected and preserved.
The only things the Redskins should be loose and free with are their sub-mediocre players, since any replacements they get can't really get worse. I think. But even there, a certain number of these poor to average players might improve with experience - and they are already inside the system, know how it works. So even there, the bias should be to retain them unless a very likely superior alternative presents itself.
This is the correct mentality for the Skins to embrace: Protect what you have that before jumping after what you don't.
