Based on what McShay said we won't be in position to draft him but if anything 2011 is slowly turning into QB nirvana with as many as 5 guys currently projected to be first rounders (though that number will more likely end up being 4).

There may be 5 qbs with first round grades, but how many of them are actually worth it? In my opinion, one and that's Luck if he comes out. Otherwise, the rest are basically fringe first rounders due to need more than skill sets.

My latest theory is that we will trade up with the Broncos and Take Locker. This makes sense for both teams, because Denver has a QB in Orton and a young guy in Tebow that they have to evaluate before drafting another one. Denver would get more picks which is what they need. I think it would take swapping one's, our number two and next years number one. I know it sounds crazy, but I think with all the success that teams have had drafting young QB's lately thats the price to move up. Hopefully, we at least get some later round draft choices in return.

Way too high a price to pay. I could see us trading up to get Luck though. I know it might look like we don't have much to offer, but Carolina may be quite willing to trade out of that pick due to the $ it will take to sign Luck (or whoever is #1).

Something like McNabb, AH & our #1 for their #1 might be a starting point.

McNabb, AH, and our #1? No way. AH and McNabb carry nearly no value. Also, you rarely see players packaged in big draft day deals. Everyone seems to want picks. I'd start with 1st, 2nd, and Cooley -- if I wanted to move up, which I don't.

Wake up guys the hand writing is on the wall, read and behold!

With the 10th pick the Skins will have to go NT/DE.

2nd round pick will also be defense, OLBer.

3rd round pick from the Haynesworth trade will be QB.

I realize these picks are not sexy but they are needed.

There's a possibility that we use the 2nd pick on a OLineman if Wilson or Jackson is deemed worthy of taking over the OLBer spot.

Orton will be traded. It's Tebow's team and Orton is the odd man out. But, I am sure Denver will keep its 1st pick and go QB, especially since they have reincarnated Elway to their front office.

Except McDaniels is not in Denver anymore. So soon we'll find out if it was him or the FO that insisted upon Tebow so early.

Why would we trade up for a player that is going to have a very very very very hard time staying in the first round?

He had an awful year, doesn't see the field very well and is not that accurate. Basically you couldn't ask for a bigger risk translating to the NFL game and there isn't a single GM that will consider him in the top ten.
