He doesn't have to, Shanahan doesn't owe anything to someone like JLC. And actually it was Andy Pollin saying that the Redskins were desperate.

Well unless the Redskins are willing to trade AH for a 3rd rounder (which would be RIDICULOUSLY stupid) this ain't happening. Another Redskins story that JLC doesn't break.

JLC was not exactly a warm welcome when he was here serving as the Redskins beat reporter. His negative reporting was never a fan favorite.

If Shanahan is serious about trading big Al it will get done, and he may be all the wiser for waiting until the season gets closer. All it takes is a major injury to any one of the better DTs in the league and suddenly Al's value shoots thru the roof.

...obviously in this scenario we don't get any current compensation. But if Mike could get a 1st rd pick next year is seems safe to assume he'd take it.

That sucks rocks. Allen will have to go to the tried and true policy of signing castoff FAs to plug gaps for the moment. Our FA moves of the past few weeks are in my book questionable at best.

Also, we spoke to the Vikings about their 1st overall yesterday and then their high 2nd today. But nothing came of it

I like the McNabb move by itself, but knowing we have wasted another draft, we were better served keeping the picks and just drafting Lefevour or Pike, Stull, etc. WE really need linemen and linebackers. Not to mention a S and a CB. We really needed multiple picks. I wish Snyder could buy the Patriots' FO. Hindsight is 20/20 after all. I just hope we can get a decent FA for trading JC now, but that looks like a lost cause.

What? You would rather have a lineman or linebacker, which is basically the equivalent of getting Rocky McIntosh or Chilo Rachel over a franchise QB?

McNabb is here for 5 years max and doesn't have the line or the WR corp that he had with Philly. Do you think he is going to win with this mediocre group he will be surrounded by minus his TE and stable of RB's. Have you looked at our LB depth lately? For a 3-4 it is pretty thin. I would draft a LB in the mid rounds as this draft is deep. Look at New England and the LBs they drafted. They are tight. Until we get a decent line any QB, even Manning is going to suck playing for us. McNabb is not going to be our long term franchise guy just for the fact that he doesn't have much to work with with the present roster on offense.

I think we are fine at S and DB, we do need OL and LB. Hopefully our next pick is an LB and somehow get a Faneca and or Kirk Morrison after the draft.

I couldn't be happier. That four eyed, crooked hat, wanna be geek got pwned big time by Schefter and I love it.

Eat a dick Jared LaCanfora, eat an effing dick.

So let's get this straight, he tells the world that we were going to make the trade for Tenn's third and sticks by his story over and over again even though he was completely wrong the whole time. So not only did he make himself look like an idiot but he makes the NFLN look like second rate players compared to ESPN. And his butt buddy Jason Reid also looks like an idiot for jumping on his boat.

Some people may say that he was close to being right but in actuality as soon as he attached the 3rd rounder to the report he was 100% wrong.

Good luck with your new gig JLC, you look like the rookie who just got schooled by the saavy vet and to top it off it was involving the team that you went out of your way to discredit in order to further your career.

Who looks like the idiot now, JLC?

I mean we still can land Bruce Campbell in the 4th round, which would help salvage this poor draft of ours. What if we had our 2nd and 5th back? WE could have landed anothe OL in the 2nd or a stud LB or S. We have multiple needs and for once it would be nice to fully utilize the draft for a change to meet them. I guess I am like a bunch of Obama voters, who expected change and got the same old shit. I hope I am wrong about the 2010 campaign, but the schedule is a bitch, and we really need an upgrade to do well!!!

Dude, you are just way to negative. There are a thousand ways to spin any action, and you seem like you have found a way to wrap them all in to one giant Turdball.

For the culture to change, which Shanny is trying to, the FO can't be in the desparation mode like you seem to be. They are taking reasonable steps, setting decent limits, and as much as they can, enforcing a disciplined and equal routine on all our players. A 3rd round pick, received at an unfair value, is a far worse move than keeping an overpaid player, who has said he will do whatever the coaches ask. Your desparation reminds me of Vinny last year rushing to the platform for Orakpo. It will be ok, we can take our time, use all our resources, and have a successful draft, and remolding of our Redskins.

As a reminder:
1st= T Williams - Franchise OL (yes I am hedging, but he will be an anchor somewhere on our line for 10 years)
2nd = D McNabb - Franchise QB for the next few years (still I wasn't a fan at all of the move, but McNabb's attitude and actions are swaying me)
3rd = J Jarmon - 1 year in already, very good pick up at the time and still alot of potential
4th = TBD - 3 possible OT's, Matt Tennant C, a solid potential QB or two, all are still available looks like this should be a productive pick
5th = TBD + Carriker (yes the FO actually gained a player without costing us an actual pick, only positioning)
6th = Vinny's fault (and along this line, your incessant call for trades would lead us down this type route) you build picks by not trading up unless absolutely necessary, and you let trades come to you, not vice versa.
7th = TBD possibly used in conjunction to move up a spot or two somewhere in rounds 4 or 5.


I don't think this counts as a shoddy draft.

Campbell in the 4th would be great. If we got two starting calibre tackles in the draft it is a resounding success.

If Williams is the next Clady, we are in for a great run.

When you add in the Mcnabb (2nd Pick) and Jarmon (3rd Pick) additions, i would say that this would be the best draft haul in years.
