Anyway I predict the trade will look like so:

Jets get:
Redskins 2-20
Redskins 3-21

Redskins get:
Jets 2-5 and draft Jordy Nelson

I think by the end of Saturday, SkinsFanSince91 is going to be a very happy man.

While you're at it, am I going to have a windfall of money come my way in the next six months?

Good news for people with man crushes on Jordy Nelson, he met with the Redskins.

And apparently Redskins One - with Jason Campbell aboard - went from Kelly's workout in Oklahoma up to Kansas where they worked out Nelson.

Anyone want to take odds on Jordy being a Redskin come Saturday?Because I think it's obvious they're going to find a way to get him, and with his stock going up as much as it has theres a good chance that the team will have to trade up. Maybe it'll be for a 2nd and 3rd next year, but hopefully it'll be the 2-20/3-21 for 2-5 trade that I predicted.

That trade makes sense for the Redskins. I wonder if the Jets are going to want to get a QB at the top of the 2nd though. Maybe trading up with the Rams would make sense as well.

Yeah, I agree with the Rams. Drafttek has them going WR in the 2nd round, but chances are they'll be shooting for an O-Lineman, especially since they're projected to go with Long or Dorsey with 1-2 (Round 1 Pick 2). However outside of bluffing in hopes that the Falcons trade up, I don't get how they could go with Dorsey. I mean maybe Dorsey's the BPA but by how much? Maybe one or two points over Long, and considering the glaring need at DE I think that Long has to be the pick.

Yea, so I definitely checked the ESPN insider draft rankings, and Jordy Nelson has went from a 84 to an 86. He also went from being the 8th ranked WR, to the 6th ranked WR.

Im am a fan of Nelson, but if we get a WR in the first, via trade or draft, we need not target him in the 2nd. However, if we don't get a WR from our 1st pick, then we need to target him/Hardy (if he falls) in the 2nd. I'd naturally prefer Nelson, but Hardy is difficult to ignore. Nelson, however, comes without red flags. Hardy has character concerns, and Gioddell's stance on discipline is changing the way teams draft. Teams dont wanna draft a player that will do something foolish and then be suspended from the league for 8 games or a full season.

Nelson seems to be the more prudent decision.
