Redskins: Five possible targets on offense

Published January 3, 2012 5:00am ET



QB Andrew Luck The Stanford star will be the first pick in the draft. With Indianapolis making a regime change, it makes sense for them to keep the pick and start over rather than continue with Peyton Manning. If they opt for that route, then Luck is not an option.

QB Robert Griffin III

He’ll be the most talked about quarterback in the offseason just because of his talent and the activity by those who will try to trade up for him. Cleveland, if it wants him, is in better position to trade up with two first-round picks, including the fourth overall.

QB Matt Flynn

He’s an intriguing potential free agent, though Green Bay might franchise him, leading to a possible trade. He’s only started two games, throwing for 480 yards and six touchdowns Sunday. Other quarterbacks in this situation have failed with a new team, but some love his toughness and accuracy.

WR Justin Blackmon

They need a game-breaking receiver so if they don’t draft a quarterback, they’ll certainly look at this position. Blackmon is the most explosive wideout in the draft this season, coming off a huge bowl game. He has good size and breaks tackles. But is there any way he lasts until the sixth pick? Doubtful.

WR Dwayne Bowe

It’s a deep free agent class at this position, with San Diego’s Vincent Jackson, New Orleans’ Marques Colston, Philadelphia’s DeSean Jackson, Indianapolis’ Reggie Wayne and New England’s Wes Welker among those potentially available. But teams don’t let playmakers leave too often.
