McNabb a REDSKIN!

McNabb notoriously underthrows receivers and can't create with his feet anymore. In fact I'd argue that JC is more mobile that DM right now. Unless that line gets a ton better, we've come nowhere with this. I wonder what all the lovers would be saying if it was Cerrato who made this same move?

I'm still undecided, but I'm leaning towards not really liking this, especially since we'll probably give him a lucrative extension as well. With this move, I now forsee at least a few current players traded before the draft.

Several current players have been shopped around for weeks now. I'm not sure the trade changed that much.

Well, I think losing our 2nd rounder increases the urgency to acquire more picks in this year's draft. Drafting McNabb as a 2 or 3 year band-aid doesn't change our need for a QB of the future, and we still need plenty of help in other areas.

I forsee any combination of the following players traded: Carlos Rogers, Jason Campbell, Laron Landry, and Chris Cooley.

Yes, it is absolutely urgent that we trade that pick at #4 for more picks. I'm hoping for round 1, #13 from 49ers, and a 3rd and 5th rounder.

I understand JC for a 3rd rounder, but what about the rest of that bunch? What are they worth? Would we really get rid of LL and CC?
