comments - delmarvanow.com: Ravens, Redskins need to think trade
http://www.thewarpath.net/showthread.php?t=12271
the author is an idiot. ray lewis couldn't get more than a mid 2nd rounder cause he has a 1 year deal and he whines constantly and won't agree to sign long term for less than stupid amounts of money. Nick Mangold at pick #13??? come on. no one is going to give a 1st rounder for brunell either, and that'd leave us geared up for a superbowl run without any stability or gaurantees at QB. not to mention the cap hit would be far greater than the space we have left, so it'd require cutting other guys just to trade them. Not to mention the list of 5th round propects we should take with the 53rd pick. Its nice when research or analysis aren't required for journalists.... grr. |

LOL Trade Brunell and Betts or Cartwright for a 1st rounder??
Nobody would make that deal for ALL 3 players. Someone has been playing too much Madden. What a joke of an article. |

The writer is an idiot.
Even if we could trade MB for any QB in the draft, I wouldn't do it (and I'm someone who has repeatedly said that we are brittle at QB). Ben R. is an exception that proves the rule. Rookie QBs suck. If we wanted to do it, we couldn't. Brunnell's trade value is nil. Betts and Cartwright, slightly higher, but not enough to move up a round. The model of spending high draft picks on the skill positions is one that leads to a very low probability of success. Drafting OL, DL, DB, LB, TE is where you can build for the future. Let someone else risk their high draft picks on the skill guys.

Re: comments - delmarvanow.com: Ravens, Redskins need to think trade
Everyone is worried about Brunell, but I am pretty comfortable with him right now. Heck, I am even comfortable with Todd Collins right now. Todd never had the weapons the Skins have right now and Todd was a decent QB when he saw significant playing time with the Bills. I am convinced that Campbell is going to be great as well. The Skins are still a running team, even if they slip a little due to some unforseen injury at the QB position, and they always have Randle El.
This guy is talking crazy! |

Re: comments - delmarvanow.com: Ravens, Redskins need to think trade
I'm a little worried about Brunnel also, but he's the best the Skins have now and no team will give the Skins a first round pick for Brunnel. Just forget about it! Collins is a decent backup and has the advantage of knowing Saunder's offensive. The Skins do not need to draft another quarterback, Jason Campbell is the quarterback of the near future. He may get his opportunity later this year or next year. The Skins should let the draft play out and draft the best player available when their turn comes around. They are looking for quality backups and special team performers. If they are lucky the second round pick might compete for a starting position.

I just thought the end was funny "If one of my scenarios turns out right, I'll take a pat on the back. If not, I'll still feel just as smart and definitely better looking than Mel Kiper."

Re: comments - delmarvanow.com: Ravens, Redskins need to think trade
I disagree. I think the author makes a great point. We should trade Brunell, Rock, and David Patten to the Texans for the number one pick. We will then replace Brunell when we select Vince Young with our second round draft pick. Look out league.
