How far can Beck take us?

I'd personally never trade up to get luck, the cost is too high, but If we are able to give up the 17th, our second, and fifth to trade up to the 9th spot or so to get jones (assuming he is about as good as Freeman-who he reminds me of), I would do that.

I've said this too many times on this site, but I would prefer us to do terrible this year than mediocre (unless we miraculously find a franchise qb on our roster or through other means than the draft...but I'm not banking on that). Of course I would love the Redskins to surprise me and win it all, or at least a lot, with Beck, who I hope is our guy (but I'm not holding my breath on that).

For Andrew Luck, I'd be all in a la Ditka w/Ricky Williams. I know that's too extreme, but it would take a bunch of picks & would be worth the risk. Plus, I trust Allen to make such a deal; he'd do everything to reduce the team's exposure to risk.
