Redskins Potentially Interested in Trading Up For Gabbert

But I could see a trade up into the 6-8 range, once Miller is gone, with Gabbert as the primary target.

I could see trading up for Dareus that's about it though.
He would instantly be an upgrade at position where we were lacking talent RDE and he could provide some 1-gap NT or pass rushing NT snaps.

But, Dareus isn't Suh.
And its only with the luxury of hindsight Suh that Suh is trade up worthy.

I really don't get the trade up theory.
In a system that has pre-assigned value why arbitrarily add more value to one random pick?

I think the talk of the Skins trading up is just more smokescreens. It's believable given our history, so why not float it out there? I'd be totally fine trading down a few times in round one, landing Locker, and adding multiple picks in the process. That's actually my ideal scenario.

I'd rather trade down to anywhere from 17-24 and take Dalton while picking up an extra pick, but what do I know?

The Dalton indoctrination is a slow but subtle process. You see him and you're like "Ginger QB OMGWTF." The next week you're like "wow he's pretty accurate." Then before you know it you want to take Dalton in the first. I've been indoctrinated. Theres no turning back now.

Try as I might, I just can't get excited about Dalton (that will change of course if we draft him).

I want Locker or to a lesser extent Ponder. I'm sure Gabbert is fine too...but he's no Chase Daniel!!!
