Saturday Slop: Getting ready for the draft

Redskins 1st round focus should be on defense | ESPN Redskins Blog

On Chris Culliver's knee injury and draft implications. Culliver might not be ready until the start of the regular season, which means he won't be sharp for a while. Even he acknowledged after the season that it takes a year to recover your form -- he went through this with his other knee in 2013. The Redskins' other corners as of now are Bashaud Breeland (solid, continues to get better), Will Blackmon (veteran they like for versatility; he will play some safety, too) and Quinton Dunbar (still learning the position, but promising). If they ask me, I'd tell them to draft a corner in the first three rounds just to add more young talent at a premium spot.
