I respect Maycock's opinion the most. At least he war right about us taking a WR.

I would imagine figuring out who the Redskins pick is not an easy task for anyone.

Still nothing from Florio. While I hate him, he's come to signify the black cat to gloom & doom news about the Redskins. If the team is indeed going after Sanchez, he would have posted this all over his site (among other hateful stuff).

I guess you can look at it a couple of ways. Either they are not happy and are wanting Sanchez if he fall to them to be the future of the team a long with Colt or Someone leaked the info in hopes it scares some of the other teams that need a QB and want Sanchez and makes them want to call DS prior to the draft in hopes of working out a deal/trade. Perhaps trading players or trading draft picks giving us more picks. I tend to lean towards the latter.

I really hope this is the case, it's just that with the whole Cutler deal, I've become very paranoid about DS' tantrums.

I dont think this pick in any way would mean that Zorn is on his way out. He is the perfect west coast offense quarterback. If you watch USC you will see they run a west coast offense and Sanchez is well suited for it. Also, to anyone who thinks Campbell still deserves a chance, this will probably allow him to play this year. If he shows that he is a star then we should be able to sign him. If nothing else we could trade Sanchez if we are stuck with two superstar Quarterbacks. This way is better than the Cutler trade for Campbell lovers, because if we got Cutler JC was history for sure.

Very logical approach. We could even franchise JC after the season. However, that kind of approach makes more sense for a team w/some depth & a no. of picks to play with, e.g. San Diego when they drafted Rivers & already had Brees. If neither guy looks good in 09, then you have very little trade value & you've already used 2 1st round picks on 2 qb's within 4 years.

For the skins that approach is so much more of a gamble, because they have other major needs w/few picks & little salary cap space. I know 2010 might be uncapped, but for the time being they're in a postion of really needing immediate starters from the draft.

Like I said in the other Sanchez thread. I don't see any of them available when we pick due to , to many teams needing QB's. however if we did pick him I see him sitting on the bench learning the offense atleast for the first yr. Meaning Campbell will play getting to show if he's worth another contract.

What better way to make other teams scared that your looking at a QB they want then to get involved in a QB trade talk and making sure it falls through due to a horrible offer. It screams of DS trying to make other teams believe we are not happy with JC and are looking for something else to make the other teams want to possibly give us better trade value when #13 comes up. If the other teams think we want him they would have to offer something substantial to sway us out of picking him and trading with the team so they can move up and take him. Hmmm. Sounds like DS.

I bet the talk with JC was all about this posturing and how he had to put on the act as well.

That would be an amazingly clever move, but I really doubt it's the case. Remember, all the reports said that the Skins made an offer that was similar to the Bears' but McDaniels didn't want Campbell as his QB.

EDIT - Maybe it's a quasi-abusive way of getting Campbell to sign a new contract on the cheap. They say "listen Jason, we were going to trade you but no one wanted you. We still believe in you even if no one else does. Since this deal and we can still make you a good player.
I'm sort of kidding, but part of me is afraid that this could be how the FO really thinks.

[ArtMonkDrillz]

At this point I'm having a hard time imagining that Campbell will re-sign with us even if we don't draft Sanchez. I think he'll play as hard and as well as he can and then he'll get the hell out of Dodge.
Basically, he'll do what what Cutler should have done - keep his mouth shut, play the best he can, and earn the right to decide where he wants to go.

If we're going to go after Sanchez then we might as well just cut bait with Campbell now (and we better stock up on more first day picks). Too bad this isn't like the NBA where you'll see something like Campbell, Moss, and Golston all traded in one deal for multiple picks and/or players.

I don't know how much true interest we have in Sanchez, to the extent that we would trade up to get him. For everyone upset we lost our 2nd rounder to the Dolphins maybe we should be happy we don't have it right now to use in a trade up for Sanchez. We definitely like those USC guys overall though. I worry though that some of the "deciders" in the organization, believe they can magically recreate a Matt Ryan season with Sanchez.

I wouldn't be terribly surprised to see us use/waste? a 2010 first day pick to trade up to make sure we get...someone other than Sanchez.

Plus we have Colt!

who?

[Lotus]

There is only one intelligent draft strategy for the Washington Redskins:

1) use every draft pick to re-draft Colt Brennan, just for emphasis
2) cut everyone else and start Colt at every position. He's proven himself.
3) rename the team to "The Washington Colt Brennans"

Any other strategy would be pure folly.

I don't know. I don't think they'll trade up for an OL, but Orakpo? Maybe Maybin?
