Redskins draft prospects: WR Nelson Agholor | ESPN Redskins Blog

His versatility, having shown the ability to run a variety of routes from a number of different spots on the field - inside, outside, out of the backfield. He also can return punts and his success in that area is easy to see when you watch him get the ball in space. Agholor cuts quickly; rarely, if ever, did I see him stutter-step then go.

And what about the oft-injured Porter? Can you rely on him?

25 Redskins Questions: Who will be the Redskins 3rd down back | CSN Washington

It's hard for me to see Gruden and McCloughan relying heavily on Thompson to take the third-down role. At times last year Gruden was visibly frustrated with the nagging injuries that sidelined Thompson off and on during training camp. While Gruden does have some respect for Thompson's ability, the third-year back's issues with availability likely will prompt the organization to bring in some competition if the right guy is there on the draft board. I like the idea of going through the draft because there are quite a few options to choose from. Of the backs mentioned by Tarik I particularly like Yeldon.
