Didn't know about Whitehurst -- that could crush my theory.

Here's a question though:

If trading down meant that we would miss out on BOTH Russell Okung and Trent Williams, but you could collect picks in the second and third round, plus still have one somewhere in the 1st, would you bite?

Yes 11 times out of 10

Provided we could still pick up a late 1st rounder, I'd do that deal all day long in order to gain even more picks. I'd be willing to throw picks at the current roster in order to see what sticks!

Just wish we could have handled the 3 2nd rounders better a couple of years ago. Ahhh Vinnie. What were you watching?

Ohhh, that's right, with your bad eyes, you were looking in 2 different directions at the same time. Poorly, I might add.

Another source has us trading again with the e-girls.

Our old 2nd, their current 2nd, their 1st at #24, man, I'm salivating.

I don't understand the trade.....

"Your" saying we trade with the Eagles and pick up their:

#24
#37
#55
and McNabb?

but, whoever wrote the HailRedskins thread wrote that we would get:

McNabb
#37
#55

Basically they would be getting two first rounders. They would keep our #4 and their #24. Maybe I read both wrong but you and he seem to be writing different scenarios.

On another note, Why are people so fascinated with Okung? Anybody stop to think maybe certain players might possibly not be best suited for either Shanahan's style of offense? Just because it's not the top pick on everyones wish list? If Williams is who the Skins are targeting and they draft him and Okung is still on the board are you guys going to throw a hissy fit?

If Williams is truly being targeted then let the coach's do their job. Be happy they picked up an OL, cause honestly I'd still be trying for Clausen or Bradford. JC will be gone. Nothing about Grossman makes me feel comfy. McNabb will be around maybe 3-4 yrs before it's time to get younger and Brennan and Bartel don't scream franchise in the waiting.

and yes for those very smart people "be glad I'm not the HC." lol.

John Clayton just brought up the point on the radio that we shouldn't get greedy and just take the tackle. I personally think about it like this. Say you get a first and a second to trade down from #4. If you wouldn't be able to trade those two players you get in the trade down for the guy you would have selected at 4 three years from now then it's not worth it.

This would be a good trade as well...we could get Charles Brown or Bruce Campbell at the end of the round.

I don't know if it is just because Oakland wants him but Bruce Campbell reeks of bust. It should throw up big red flags when a guy's stock rockets because of his combine workout...I know they were projecting him in the first/early second before his workout but I think he will not be a solid player in the NFL;

Let him go to the Raiders and keep them in the red for a few more years.

Yep, I think I would....There is some o/l dept in this draft. We have some holes that need to be filled, especially for this 3-4 we about to incorporate into our defense.

Thanks Haslett.....our defense is already straight. All we needed to do was tweak it. More agressiveness, better disguises, take away the 25 yard cushion the CBs we're given and add a couple of LBs.

Naw, we gotta give our defense a dam face lift in the very first year, knowing dam well we dont have no where near the personnel that we need for this switch over. Now the best DTwe've had in the last God knows how many years is pissed and ready to leave. I HATE this shit....
