Ladell Betts

I've said this before but I'll say it again. The Skins would do well with Betts as their featured back. He's got the straight-ahead pound-it mentality that fits Gibbs' power running offenses. It's not that the Redskins shouldn't have traded Bailey for Portis since Bailey wasn't about to re-sign with the team anyway. But in that trade, the Skins also did lose a 2nd rounder.

If Betts were to be the #1 guy, the Skins could now dangle Portis for a talented receiver or defender in return. The only prerequisite would be that the team develop a #3 guy that can step up to be Betts' understudy in case he goes down.
