Better Decision: Draft/Deal for Bradford or Trade for McNabb/Draft T. Williams?

Keep this in mind and I know it's way to early -- but Bradford is being projected as the next great qb.

well, if McNabb plays sub par as you say, and we build a solid line in front of him, then WHEN we get the qb of the future (something the skins haven't ever really had) at least we will know his blind side is protected, and he will be able to shine. It's a little strange to me, given how it was a nearly unanimous cry to get OL after the last few years debacles, that somehow in hindsight some one is going to say maybe we shoulda gotten a QB. We had NO LT at all. none, zero, zilch. did you really want Heyer protecting SB's blind side? ugh what a scary thought.

Man ... did I say that I was on the fence... all the stuff you are saying about LT is true, but what if we missed on the next great qb. We may not be in position to do that in the next few years.

Then we missed him because with all our s**kage last year we still did not s*** bad enough to get the first pick in the draft. Glad he went to a different division, only wish he had gone to the other conference .

Seriously, we couldn't have the 1st pick short of selling off our whole draft, or some other unreasonable compensation, so c'est la draft.

Bottomline, my answer is I am ok with what we did, mainly because it made better football sense given the conditions available at the time the decisions were made.

I think I'll be happy (agreeing with czaban on espn980) if McNabb stays with the redskins next season at the very least.
