This is absurd, if we actually do this I am going to be very upset, and this organization deserves to have a losing season next year if this happens, but PFT is very unreliable so take this with a grain of salt.

I've come to realize that with Snyder as our owner anything is possible.

This would NOT surprise me one bit. The guy is a huge talent and he's a bit different from our current WRs. He's like another Sean Taylor, a freak.

Well said, well said,.....before the draft, there will be alot of released in the NFL, and adding C.J. makes the redskins the best offensive team in the NFC East......... im might be wrong, but i doubt it?

Yea, your probably wrong.
What wins the big game??? BIG D, where we need the MOST help!
If I had to guess we would be trading down....more picks. Not the other way around.
This source is CRAP. Don't Believe!

I have to disagree with being wrong ~That much fire power on offense we would be virtually unstoppable... Plus there is always june 1st cuts to make changes on D. But the way the cards are stacked right now we will draft defense.

The thought of a Portis, Betts, Moss, Cooley, Randle el, And Johnson plus the young arm of Campbell that would scare anyone in the NFL Period. He is the new age Art Monk..., what we've been missing

I agree, that would be sick. But if our defense performs like it did this past season we won't go anywhere again. We need D-lineman as badly as any team in the league. I think our offense will be just fine with or without CJ.

Wrong about what?

That was my point, how else are you gonna get CJ .....the draft.?
Do you really believe we will draft up? No, I don't think so.
Do you believe CJ is gonna be there at #6 if we don't move at all? Not.
Look at the source it's PFT,......it would be great to get this guy.
However, I don't see the SKINS going up in the draft. Do you?? we need more picks in the draft.

It seems like every year there's a WR/TE whose workout makes everybody freak out like this...

2007 - Calvin Johnson
2006 - Vernon Davis
2005 - Braylon Edwards
2004 - Larry Fitzgerald / Kellen Winslow Jr
2003 - Charles Rogers / Andre Johnson

And for every Larry Fitz, Andre Johnson or Roy Williams there are plenty players like Charles Rogers, Mike Williams, Bryant Johnson, Ashlie Lelie, David Terrell, Koren Robinson, Rod Gardner, Peter Warrick, David Boston, Michael Westbrook or Desmond Howard who are high 1st round picks that have been busts or have had disappointing careers.

If you could go back to 1996 and have the Jets # 1 overall pick.. would you choose Keyshawn Johnson? Or would you rather have Simeon Rice at 3 Ogden at 4 or a better WR Marvin Harrison at 19... How about Ray Lewis at 26. If you went back in time and told the Jets that Harrison was going to be a better WR then Keyshawn they would have called you a fool.

Back in 2005 it seemed like 75% of Skins fans out there wanted us o draft Mike Williams... (Too bad we weren't talking Shawne Merriman or Demarcus Ware). I hope this year we aren't seduced by the sexy WR at the top of the draft and trade up to pick CJ... Although if he somehow lasts to 6 we HAVE to take him!

I think this is in the exact same category as JaMarcus Russell rumors: something floated by his agents trying to boost his value. I don't buy for a second.

true the snyde doent know football.i still think well trade down to denver for bly and their picks.bly hasnt shown his face in denver since they got him from the lions.

If the whole organization was there, which could be an exaggeration, it indicates they are interested. I think it would be worth kicking in next year's number one pick to go with our current one to get a Jerry Rice type of prospect. If we do well, next year's pick would be low anyway, and we would have a Hall of Fame type of prospect.

Todd Wade replaces Dockery at guard. I think we are set there on paper. We have our secondary situation under control. We got the new qb of our defense in London Fletcher. I think we look pretty good at linebacker. We need help on the defensive line still. But Carter was coming on strong at the end of the year. We still have a chance to find a free agent or two in a lower price bracket.

Johnson means we are unstoppable on offense, figuratively speaking.

It's a good move. I hope we do it.
