Revisiting the Cornerback Position | Fanspeak Washington Redskins Blog
Yesterday’s news that the Redskins released UDFA CB Chase Minnifield was a bit of a surprise to many in Redskins Nation. Minnifield, despite his undrafted status was considered by many Redskins fans, and pundits as a potential steal for the team. He was a guy who before the extent of his knee injury was revealed was thought to be a top 75 pick. With the Redskins getting him at no risk after the draft, their return on their investment was potentially extremely high.

Orakpo should be right around that point in a young impact player’s career where they hit their prime. I don’t think we think of players like Orakpo as guys that can have a "breakout season," since Orakpo already has 2 Pro Bowls to his credit. But I think he’s a guy that can be a lot better than how he played last season. It’ll be interesting to see if he can ever make that leap from "best player on the defense" to "one of the best defenders in the league."

One thing of which I'm certain: Competition. The Redskins have their quarterback in Robert Griffin III, but they still need to build an offense around him. And they're addressing potential weaknesses by bringing in a lot of people to compete for certain spots and hoping that competition breeds quality starters. At wide receiver, veteran Santana Moss will compete with Leonard Hankerson and Josh Morgan for snaps opposite Pierre Garcon. At running back, Tim Hightower's 2011 knee injury opens up competition between him, Roy Helu and Evan Royster. There's competition at tight end, where Fred Davis is the No. 1, but converted wide receiver Niles Paul threatens the playing time (and maybe the roster spot) of mainstay Chris Cooley.
