So we'll likely look to trade down and possibly pick up Locker there. Though I'm not sure he's the top choice. Our best bet right now is a trade down with the Rams at 14. Though they may screw us by trading to 9 with the Cowboys. I don't think Minnesota is taking a QB in the first round (not at 12 at least) so I'm not concerned with dropping to 14 and risking missing out on another QB.

One week to go! Can't wait! I might actually get to sit in a war room next weekend!

Smoot, I respect your opinion, yet I'm puzzled by your reasoning about trading down four spots when thinking about taking a QB in the first round. Perhaps you know something that you're not saying such as the Skins having a verbal agreement to trade McNabb to Minnesota after the draft.

Otherwise, for the Redskins to trade down four spots and risk losing the QB they want just doesn't make sense to me. If a team takes a QB in the first round, they expect that QB to be their starter, if not their Franchise QB, sooner rather than later, don't they? Trying to pick up a third round pick is just not worth the risk of losing such a player.
