Please no. I'm not sure who we would get this year who would be so much better than what we could get next year. And who would spell Portis?

Anyone can do what Betts does.

I wholeheartedly agree. I'm holding out hope we can somehow address OLB and tackle and still get a change of pace back for Portis like a Javon Ringer or Kory Sheets. Betts is uber-expendable IMO. He's not that fast, doesn't have great hands, fumbles too much, and doesn't block that well. Problem is he has very little trade value (5th round pick at best) and I doubt we'd cut him.

Duke Robinson is still out there. Would be nice to get him.

Yes, it would be great to get the Duke. He needs to be on the board for 16 more picks.

I thought he was a potential late first rounder, but I don't even see him on Kiper's top 10. What happened that made him drop down draft boards? Bad Pro Day? A lot of people a while ago wanted us to trade back later in the first and draft him.

Every year teams reach and players slide. The first pick in the third round ends up being a pretty valuable thing.

lot of questions about his work ethic .. didn't he commit a crapton of penalties in their bowl game too? I watched some of the games this year and recall him getting whistled quite a few times in rapid succession

I agree with your assessment of Betts' skills but he's not really expendable until we have a capable replacement. Let's see what happens tomorrow before we trade Betts IMO.

I think he's expendable if we intend use the pick we move him for on a RB...

He's gotta be worth something. I'd take a 5th or 6th for him.

Yeah, talk about a falling star. If Betts was ever worth anything, it would have been just after the 2006 season when he took over for Portis. He rushed for more yards over a five game stretch than any running back in Redskins history.

But now, I don't know if we could give him away.

Didn't really have a backup in place but wouldn't have minded trading him then. We probably held on because of Portis having been hurt and never knowing what could happen with that
