OK, here's a question: As a fan, would you rather see your team win meaningless games to end a season in which there's no chance of the playoffs, or lose and secure a higher draft pick?

Look at it like this -- Would you rather be able to pick someone like Sean Taylor at #5? Or finish with you head held high and get someone like Rod Gardner at #15?

Maybe another point to consider is if the Redskins win out and go 7-9 for the year will the Redskins be less likely to bring in a GM?

If the Redskins had lost their remaining games would the pressure from outside sources including media be much more intense and therefore change the mindset of the team and encourage them to bring in a GM?

First off, I never root for losses. I even feel stronger about that with Gibbs as coach again. And the year we got Rogers 9th...we passed on Shawne Merriman & Demarcus Ware to take him. The skins will have a good pick even at 7-9 it just depends on whether or not they get the right player.

Some of you folks just want to find the bad in everything, enjoy the win for goodness sake. I've seen plently of bust over the years in the top 5 of the draft, and I've seen same great players come out of the 15-20 spots.
