There sure were a lot of "D" words in that kid's post. Must be the letter of the day of Sesame Street.

Note to self: Move Schneed back to the top of the potential mod list.

LOL!

But seriously, after all the debating (which is good cause it's fun to go back and forth on the team's personnel needs) I'm leaning more towards your view that this trade rumor is bogus.

You know how much of a stickler the 'Skins usually are for the whole points value of draft picks. They usually stick pretty tight to the chart to help them value trades. We're squandering quite a few points by getting Briggs. Our pick is worth 1600, their pick is worth 600 or so, so in the proposed deal Briggs would be worth 1000. That's the equivalent of a mid-first rounder.

I mean to the 'Skins really value him that highly? I guess it's possible but I wouldn't. I'd be asking for a 3rd rounder in that deal.

Plus then there's all the stuff that PFT threw out there, explaining why Briggs isn't the best fit. Plus then there's the possibility that Danny and Rosenhaus are conspiring, with Rosenhaus's motivation being to drive up interest in Briggs, and with Danny's motivation being to scare Denver into making the Bly deal that's on the table.

Of course, I could be wrong, and all of this could be wishful thinking. But I can see this rumor fizzling.

Also, at least twice in the last week and a half Rosenhaus and/or Briggs have been spouting off on Mike & Mike on ESPN Radio. This has to be a coordinated smokescreen because it makes absolutely no sense for the Skins FO to pull the trigger on this. On Draft Day the value of the pick will be in the Saints/Ricky for Champ plus the rest of the Bears draft area if Adrain Peterson, Quinn or Joe Thomas fall to #6.

Ohh, I see, we should get him to be our nickel LB!

I think Snyder and Rosenhaus are having a good laugh over this whole deal. Neither of them are favorites of the media and vice versa so I'm sure they are getting a big kick over floating this rumor out there.

I hope and pray.

I guess all I care about is not how these shenanigans started but how they end.

[MTK]

Think about it, how many rumors have we heard involving the Skins lately??

The Skins trading up to grab Russell, trading up to grab CJ, the whole Bly thing, etc.

This Briggs thing is just the flavor of this week.

[squrrelco3]

Man...if this thing goes through everyone involved on the Redskins side of the deal should be dragged into the street and shot unless we get at least a second rounder out of the deal...

[wushawn]

sorry bout that comment guys, it was retarded. i just really hope this doesnt happen

[RMSkins]

If this deal goes through I would rank it as the dumbest thing this organization has ever done, and that says a lot. I just don't understand why we need Briggs with Marshall, and McIntosh, then we get screwed out of a premier D-Lineman because Okoye, Branch, Carriker, Adams, Anderson, will all be gone by the 31st pick.
