With the 17 pick, the Washington Redskins select...

Yeah as really hope that the ILB needs to be beefed up. Seems he can be fast and explosive.

To those who say McCaffrey Cant be a 3 down player I ask why Cant he be in the back field on 1st and 2nd down but then line up in the slot on 3rd down a la David Johnson and no I am not saying he is David Johnson or should run inside as much as Johnson

Johnson is like 230lbs. He's build like an NFL RB. McCaffrey simply does not have that kind of size on his frame. You can't run him in between the tackles. He won't last. He's a part time player and you can't draft a part time player in the first round. 4th round? Sure. You can find those type of players in the mid rounds.

I saw on a few mocks they had us taking a qb???

Defense. We must go defense. Championships aren't won with a juggernaut offense and NO defense.

Anybody have a hypothesis on why they have us taking a qb though? Am I missing something here?

The only offensive position considered at 17 will be RB per Keim. All other O positions are off the board for 17.

Hearing this name a lot in the last 24 hours to the Skins

[NCSUredskin]

Hopefully Jonathan Allen.....but I would be fine as long as its NOT on the offensive side of the ball

[htownskinfan]

I dont know who we should draft but I think Cousins will be traded to Cleveland,it just makes too much sense for both teams.Cleveland has multiple picks and desperately need a qb and they whiff on drafting qbs.Washington has pooched the Cousins negotiations and probably wont be able to sign him to a long term deal,plus we still dont have a GM and I think Snyder wouldnt mind sticking it to Cousins a little bit for playing hardball.
Even if it doesnt happen this weekend that doesnt mean its out of play even if Cleveland drafts a qb.If the Skins think enough of the qb the Browns drafted they could swap QBs and some draft picks involved in there somewhere.

Cleveland is not going to give up high draft choices unless they can sign KC to a long term contract.... I doubt that will happen in the next 8 hours

I like the idea though.

Yeah thats a good point,Cleveland has made some questionable deals but they probably wouldnt trade for Cousins unless a deal was worked out beforehand,and I think the skins would only do it if it was done without Kirk knowing about it beforehand.
I think I had read earlier that Kirk was concerned if he signed the tag that he might be traded to cleveland,so he def does not want to go there.

[Chico23231]

If we have zero intention of raising our offer to sign Cousin which will lead him to leave, then trading him makes sense.

To me this would be a horrible decision and would set the franchise back.

[FlyerSkin]

I wouldn't be surprised if we did trade
Kirk.
