When it Comes to WR - Skins Should Avoid the Waiver Wire

In the next week, teams will trim their rosters down from 75 to 53... There will literally be hundreds of players suddenly looking for work - invariably there will be a couple of big name (likely aging) guys who will get cut.

When it comes to our WR corps for this year, the Skins should avoid the urge to scour the waiver wires next weekend. Already there are whispers that former Super Bowl MVP Deion Branch could be waived by the Seahawks. Mark my words, there will be others.

Dan Snyder and Vinny Cerrato should avoid their traditional fantasy football approach to player personnel. We have a promising young trio of receivers (Marko Mitchell, Devin Thomas and Malcolm Kelly) - two of whom we have used 2nd round picks on. They should let these guys develop, get them on the field and give Jason Campbell an opportunity to build a rapport and confidence with his receivers.

There may be other areas where the waiver wire will be useful (O-line, secondary), but not at WR.
