Obviously it's impossible to argue the point since you're basically saying "I'm right because i said so, and if you disagree, you're wrong." Not very convincing.
btw, landry's probably going at 10, so we couldn't trade down to 12 and get him, AND with him in tow, who, exactly, is going to prevent plays from getting 15 yards down the field? our current DL sure isn't, and if you think a top 6 DL guy can't improve our defense, then wtf would a 3rd rounder be any better?

Its clearly not a hypocrite's argument. It is hard to argue who will be the better pro, only because they haven't played yet. That's it. However, this is an argument that happens every year prior to the draft. People evaluate players first off of their experience, then off of their combine/pro day, and then its the debate all the way up until draft day.
True, I/we, can not predict the future, but based off of the criteria that GM's go by, LaRon Landry and Calvin Johnson are the most "pro-ready" players available. Why? They have the least amount of visible weaknesses, they've displayed their abilites on the field, and they have some of the highest upsides for their position. Unless you like to add someone to that list, Im pretty sure that it will not change before draft day.
Also, I dont know if you are reading my post all the way through, but nowhere did I say or imply that "I'm right because i said so, and if you disagree, you're wrong." If you or anyone felt that way, its only because I've made a sound argument that makes
YOU feel like I am right.
There is no guarantee that a 2nd or 3rd rounder will be better than anyone in the first, but we do see a great deal of players from lower rounds perform better that the 1st rounders. Plus, they come cheaper and with less risk. When people talk about drafting all of those D-Lineman, they assume that they will cure the problems in that area. What if they don't? What if they are subpar, and play below expectations? Then the draft pick that we used will to resurrect the pass rush will be wasted, and we will
still have
1 pick in the first day of the draft.
I, just like everyone else, have the ability to disagree and to postulate as to their thoughts concerning the Redskins. Maybe if your arguments were a little more thought out and with points, then we could get somewhere.
Since you like shooting holes in my theories/posts, what do u think the Redskins should do to get more picks and to get better? Or can u not think that far ahead without your nose bleeding?
PS
As for Landry, I know he will be gone by 12. That's why we can have a sign and trade deal worked out with any team that wants to trade up to 6th overall for Brady Quinn. We get more picks plus stay in the top 10-15. Thats more than ONE DLineman can do to help a team, even if his name is Gaines Adams/Alan Branch.
