Re: Draft News for the Warpath
 

[quote=SmootSmack;691762]Yeah it really picked up steam late last night. No one I've talked to believes the Skins believe Okung is worth taking at #4....which probably means that's who they'll draft :)

Latest rumor has them talking to an AFC East team about the #4 pick to move down in the 1st and add a 2nd. Not sure who the team is, think it might be the Jets.[/quote]

Wrong division, but I could see us trading with the Browns so they can take Berry.

I would like to know who's going to draft Toby Gerhart. I think he's going to have a monster year next year.

Yup, that's how I've got it mocked. We take TW at 7

Re: Draft News for the Warpath
 

i think the seahawks draft tebow at 16. Pete Carroll is an idiot so it sounds like something he would do.

[quote=rbanerjee23;691579]If the Redskins trade Landry, McIntosh, and Haynesworth for Brown and the Saints' second, I will lose a great deal of faith in this new front office. Haynesworth for Brown and the Saints' second would be a fair deal for both teams -- you're talking about arguably the best defensive player in the game whom you're getting cheap for pro bowl OT and a second. Even Steven. No need to throw in McIntosh and Landry.[/quote]

You don't have to worry. There's only team the Redskins had any real conversation with about AH and it's not happening. (not to say some other team can't step in at the last minute). The trade had to be on the Skins' terms. Rocky will probably be traded by this weekend. Landry is like AH, other than the Marshall talks earlier, the trade had to be on the Redskins term. Haynesworth and Landry are two guys the Redskins didn't want to trade, but are willing to listen to offers for.

Brown still very much in play, but there's competition for him.

Re: Draft News for the Warpath
 

[quote=freddyg12;691777]still the #29 plus a 2nd would be good for us. there will be some OT's left. This team needs quantity more than quality at this point.[/quote]
wait what? no.. that's what we've BEEN doing in regards to tackle

anybody heard anything about Eric Berry? is he the leader now? that's all i'm hearing on the nfl network.

Something has to be going on between the Skins and Browns.

Don't think that 2 teams throwing mixed signals means that they're in cahoots, but it definitely could happen.

Too much smoke now to take anything seriously as everyone is jockeying for position.
Berry-Okung go 4-5, but in what order?

Would love to trade down with them and get some picks.

Holmgren said they're reaching out one last time to the Rams for the #1 ("Worst they can do is say no to us")

I still think they're a contender for Clausen where they are, though they deny it.

The posts and threads on this board today would be so different if we were talking about Vinny thinking of drafting Berry at #4...soooo different

But anyway...

while this is true for the most part, i could care less who is running the show i'm all in on berry and spiller, i think they are both awesome and would love to take either of them, i just wish we had a freaking 2nd, but i would also really like to see williams or okung here too. drafting this high throws players you don't have to have in the mix if we were drafting at 7 or 8 berry wouldn't even be in the mix, it'd be all spiller all day, and if we weren't in the top ten it'd be ol or nothing, also would be easier ot move around, i just read what i typed and really can't wait for this day to end :confused:

It's more of a big picture thing. Vinny wouldn't have had the smarts to deal and maneuver like Allen and Shanahan have this offseason and we would likely be looking at a completely different scenario surrounding the team. By the way we already know that Vinny wouldn't have drafted Berry.

I'm 100% sure that if Vinny was the GM he would have drafted Clausen which is fine. However given Vinny's reputation around the league it's likely he wouldn't have been able to attract a post-Zorn coaching staff capable of developing him.

I mean isn't that a big reason why Snyder had Vinny "resign," because he started to see that no reputable coach wanted to work for the Redskins with Vinny picking and backstabbing his way around town?

The way Shanahan and Allen have run this team from top to bottom, from the workouts to acquiring players has been nothing short of spectacular. With that said only way to get us on board with the possible Berry pick is to find a way to still bring in a quality tackle weather it be Jamaal Brown or some other equivalent.

So yes when you isolate the scenario of the Vinny picking Berry then you would probably see people grabbing pitchforks opposed to Allen and Shanahan where people at this point are much more willing to go along with the teams braintrust. Of course I must concede that a good part of that is goodwill from being the ones that made Snyder comfortable enough to go with someone else besides Vinny.

it's not that hard out here, cuz we aren't hearing nearly as much as you(hint hint hint!)

Re: Draft News for the Warpath
 

My sources tell me that the Redskins are now looking to trade down and take Bulaga.

I see us trading down with the Browns and picking up williams or bulaga. Browns will take Berry.

So what? Does that make your new Wu-Tang name 23 cent?

Re: Draft News for the Warpath
 

hey smootsmack, if we trade down who would we be trading with?

Re: Draft News for the Warpath
 

good grief. this is all over the place. are the skins just putting out a ton of misinformation or do plans keep changing because we, and other teams, are in the process of attempting to make so many moves?

smoot, since you seem to be hearing alot of varied reports, id be interested in knowing your gut feeling - could you give us a percentage breakdown for each option?

-The Skins trade UP for Bradford
-The Skins stay at 4 and select an OT
-The Skins stay at 4 and select a position other than OT
-The Skins trade down a few picks
-The skins trade down 10 or more spots

On another note, what redskins players (if any) do you think will get moved tonight?

Re: Draft News for the Warpath
 

It's the quiet before the storm, a little more than an hour before the S... hits the fan!!!

Re: Draft News for the Warpath
 

well Bulaga would follow the Shanny drafting a player that never visited trend.

Re: Draft News for the Warpath
 

A buddy of mine text me that the Vikings are in "hot pursuit" on Haynesworth, reportedly for their 30th overall pick. You hear anything about that SS?

EDIT: nevermind

Re: Draft News for the Warpath
 

What happens at 8:10pm, when we select [B]Russell Okung [/B]after all the build-up and misinformation?
[B]Okung[/B] has been at the top of the board since January.
We have nothing to look forward to[U] until saturday afternoon[/U].

How many more hours til draft begins????

I can't get any work done with all these trade scenarios popping up everywhere.

Well, the draft hasn't even begun, and ESPN has already beaten the ish out of that Jay-Z/Alicia Keys song. My goodness.

Yes, I have a 2 year-old Skins fan. He'll go to bed after the pick. Could be chaos if they trade down though.

I am up at 750am in Korea on a Friday and am already drinking budweisers in preperation of one of my favorite days of the year. I feel a trade back move in my gut, lets hope i'm right!
