I am going to be pissed if we end up with friggen' Tebow.

Here's the text from that article:

With the speculation that the Rams might be taking Sam Bradford No. 1 overall in April, the other team that thinks quite highly of him risks missing out. We've been hearing for a while now that the Redskins value Bradford as a potential franchise quarterback, and that he would not get past their spot in the first round if he lasted that far.

So what happens if the Skins are faced with a draft board with Bradford's name crossed off? It could come down to Notre Dame's Jimmy Clausen versus Oklahoma State OT Russell Okung. Below, ESPN NFC East blogger Matt Mosley weighs the options.

UPDATE: The Redskins may be developing their backup plan if Bradford is off the board (as expected) by the time they pick at No. 4. Coach Mike Shanahan and GM Bruce Allen are part of a team that is scheduled to visit with Tim Tebow in Gainesville, presumably to decide whether they want to pick him in April's draft (possibly in the second round) in the event they draft neither Bradford nor Clausen. If they were to take Tebow, he'd become the second former Gators quarterback on the roster behind Rex Grossman (and we thought the Steve Spurrier era was over in Washington).

Matt Mosley
Will the Skins go conservative?
"Taking Clausen in the first round might be the most exciting move the Redskins could make, but acquiring a cornerstone of the offensive line will provide a better foundation."

Don't see anything about bashing Snyder in here...Mosely makes an argument for Okung I see.

Thanks for forwarding the text. It confirms what I thought, that Mosely doesn't know any more than you or I on this subject.

My point wasn't that ESPN was bashing the skins in the article but that I would be surprised if they have some major scoop. In the past they have consistently been anti-Redskins.

What do you mean? Just because he's saying they shouldn't take QB and take a tackle?

That essentially he isn't providing any information that you couldn't get by logging onto Redskins Insider.

Everybody knows that the decision would be between Clausen and a tackle. He offered his opinion, it isn't like he said the team is leaning towards one or the other.

The part about Tebow is somewhat interesting but I highly doubt our second pick is used on him.
