Btw who's gonna block for Luck?

You read my whole post?

And Skinsguy, we can't offer up Davis because he's a UFA. I think Orakpo's value is potentially at its peak right now. And I don't deny the impact he has in drawing blockers allowing guys like Kerrigan to succeed. But it's apparent he's better served in a 4-3, and more importantly a 3-4 OLB who's basically occupying players for his teammates to shine is not as valuable as a potential franchise QB.

I like TW a lot, but don't let the Oklahoma connection cloud your judgement. He's been inconsistent. He's one strike away. But most importantly the fact that he is a talented LT means he brings value. If we could flip him for another talented LT plus a potential franchise QB, you'd have to seriously consider it I think.

I do agree w you and I'd take Luck all day but Rak and Trent thats some talent we would be letting go. I'd prob pull the trigger though now that I think about it

Do you see Willie Smith as being a possible starting Left Tackle. He has gone up against thre probowler in three week and only alowed 1 sack a game. Next week is another huge test. I am praying for a senario where the Rams get the first pick and we trade for Bradford. I would be happy with Luck also. The reason I ask this is because does Willie Smith become part of the trade or allow them to trade Williams.

I think Smith could be a valuable asset, but I still want another LT. That's why I'd look to do it only if we could keep our 1st round pick in 2012. That way we could get a LT. You're probably asking well why not just keep TW? Fair point. But in my scenario we can get Luck and keep our own first (let's say it's a 7th overall) and use that to move down to get more picks like we did last year

You plan your moves a lot better than the Redskins do.

To make it a Redskins-approved move, we need a mediocre roster filler or journeyman veteran to be handed a starting job at a position of critical need, and then we must all be informed that if you don't understand why the team is doing what it's doing, then it reflects poorly on you as a fan. Because the football people did this. It's not wrong.

So then it's settled: Willie Smith and Erik Pears will share left tackle next year.

I see your point Smoot. In that case, I'd be fine with that move as well. We need a franchise QB more than anything at this point, and I feel Luck is probably going to be the only QB in this draft that can start from day one. Although I still think he'd probably sit for a bit.
