Trade WR

[skinsfanthru&thru]

u never know though when teams get desperate or a gm or coach see's a guy he really likes. look at what ditka did to get ricky williams. no one can really compare the TO trade to a possible trade of Gardner for a 2nd round pick. the 49ers wanted to be rid of TO and even set a 72 hour deadline to get it done. They weren't expecting him to still be on their roster so they traded him and got what they could for him. Gardner is still very young and talented (plus his current contract is low priced.) You don't think teams needing a cheap, solid #2 wide reciever haven't inquired about Gardner for a possible 2nd or 3rd and 4th round picks? As much as I'd like to keep him since he complements Coles pretty well, the team needs come first and if we can trade him for picks then we need to do it because I think mccants can slide into the #2 WR role pretty well.

Gardner is a proven talent and has more value on our roster next year than any defensive player we can draft in the third or fourth round. We would have to get really lucky to draft a player in the 3rd or 4th round that has the talent of Gardner. Plus Cerrato/Snyder's draft record in the late rounds has been terrible. We could give up Gardner for nothing if we draft a player that sucks.
I think Gardner will fill the Art MonK role in Gibss offense next year. Gardner's talent did not lend itself to Spurriers terrible college offensive system. Gardner will shine next year.

I say we keep all the wide receivers, and start Coles, Gardner and McCants. We can all remember the smurfs and the rings they brought us. And we can also remember the 1991 team who set a then NFL record for scoring. Those teams always had 3 quality receivers. We have that now. Lets keep them. We'll be able to trade down out of the #5 spot and pick up extra picks. Lets all remember, too, that draft picks are a gamble. The press likes to make a big deal out of our lack of draft picks, but in every case, I like what we've given up in draft picks for proven players. The press is just trying to find ANYTHING bad to say about what Washington is doing b/c, for whatever reason, they all dislike Dan Snyder so much. Also, Gardner had a really good year last year. I think he'll be even better this year....
