Redskins email report: Scouting the college WRs

Regardless if Peyton Manning comes to Washington or if the Redskins draft Robert Griffin III, there is no doubt about this: The Redskins need to add a playmaking receiver. They need someone who can threaten a defense. And, yes, they can find that guy in free agency.

That’s what I’ll cover in my Friday email report, based on conversations with a scout as well as my guy Russ Lande, whose insight is always good. Lande is a former scout who now heads the Sporting News draft coverage. You can visit his website here. In all, I talked to them about 10 different receivers: Justin Blackmon, Michael Floyd, Kendall Wright, Juron Criner, Alshon Jeffery, Mohamed Sanu, Nick Toon, Dwight Jones, Joe Adams and Devier Posey.
