Build the Redskins for 2012

I heard we weren't really interested in Barkley, but a) that might have been because we thought we couldn't get him and b) how could we not at least consider him

Interesting... I guess that means there is no consideration for Andrew Luck, then.

Ugh... You already have inside information about whether we like Matt Barkley?

Just rumors I've heard. Thing is the team can't really do much scouting on him anyway at this point since he's not a senior.

I'm hearing from my sources that he has a long release as well as a low one which doesn't really bode well for a QB that's already considered short.

Right now I would first see how viable trading up for Luck is, hope that the Colts are willing to deal and make an Eli Manning like trade. Plan B would be to look at Tannehill and Moore.

I hate to say it but we'd never do that. As much as I would love it to be good in like 5 years, Shanahan doesn't seem to have any patience or care about care about re-building at all. If I remember right the Manning trade was two firsts, a second, a third, and a fifth. I just can't see a man like Mike, who is trying to win now, and seems to have the philosophy of quantity over quality (defer to last two drafts), give up that many picks. He wants alot of players and he wants them now.

Personally I would love the move, but I think if we do it we''d have to wait a good 5 years before being competitive. We already lack young talent on our team, and to give up so many picks would further that void. Yeah luck is good, but no infant qb in the league can peyton manning his team to the playoffs consistently. He's going to need time to develop or pieces around him now to win.

Also I think the colts would be crazy to draft anybody but luck.
