Re: Looking at the draft.

IF he is still there at 4, and IF they would take it, would you trade our first rounder this year and our first next year to the Brown's for the chance to get Barkley?

I realize there are so many reasons this will not happen, I am just curious what other people think they would do if it were a possibility.

I love Barkley. I think he's the best player in the draft. But for this team, i just don't see the value.

No. 2 first round picks for a position with the shortest average career length in the league doesn't make sense to me.

It's a 4 year league. If you look at our roster in 4-5 years it will be mostly overhauled.

Generally you are correct, but top 5 picks should be generational players. Would you be ok if we had taken Okung instead of Trent and were searching for a LT again?

I would agree expect if you're talking about taking a back.

Yeah, I do agree. In fact I am rooting for NYG to take Barkley for several reasons:
1) miss the opportunity to get Eli's successor from top candidates
2) miss the opportunity to take a player who would be a DE stud for the next 10 years
3) should force the Skins FO to take a DT, which helps us both against Elliot and Barkley
4) keeps them from trading down and building their OL quicker.

I'm not against taking a back at 13 if he has a grade that warrants it.

I'm against trading up because of the huge cost of moving from 13 to the top few to snag Barkley.
