I do know this much: I read a Mike Shanahan quote where he said that the Skins need to add playmakers in the off-season and I also read a Kyle Shanahan post where he said that the Skins need a Franchise QB. I think that those two things are exactly what they will try to do but I think, at this point, how the Skins will acquire those players is up in the air.

What if the Skins were to decide that Matt Flynn can give them what they want at QB and sign him as a FA? That would certainly affect their draft strategy.

What if the Skins were to sign either WR Vincent Jackson or WR Dwayne Bowe as a FA? Would they then focus more on offensive linemen in the draft?

What if the Skins were to sign FA OG Ben Grubbs as well as Flynn and either Jackson or Bowe? Would the Skins then go for the best player available or look to draft more defenders?

Right now, I just don't know what they'll do. If I had to guess, I'd say that they will reach to draft the best available QB at #6 (probably Landry) becuase they won't be able to trade up for either Luck or RGIII. The Colts will keep the first pick and draft Luck and the Browns will give up both of their first round picks this year to St. Louis to draft RGIII.

Old Redskins mentality, been there done that. It failed many times.

I might agree with you about Flynn. But do you really think that Jackson or Bowe and Grubbs would be risks? I certainly don't.

We're going to be players in FA. Count on it.

yeah, like 2010 when we signed bowen, otagwe, wilson, and cofield and made them all start...

You're comparing those guys to Flynn, Jackson, Bowe, Grubbs money?

A) they were not small contracts and that's 4 FAs, bowen wasn't really a starter for dallas but we paid him like he was a good proven full timer, which he wasn't really. same with cofield switching to NT.

B) Grubbs probably won't be that expensive, and I don't think we should sign every free agent available. Jackson is getting tagged anyways.

C) the "old" redskins blew money on bad players, if you pay someone value and they play at value, then how is that awful? just because a good player costs money doesn't make it an awful decision in and of itself. c'mon.

I don't think it's out of the question that we'll take USC's T Matt Kahlil if there aren't any trading partners.

We'd have to be very lucky for that to happen. For example, St. Louis could take him at #2 or trade down with Cleveland and still pick Kalil at #5.

I don't think St. Louis would draft Kahlil that high. Of course it could happen, just don't think it will.

In event I think the Skins could very well end up with Kahlil or RG3.

Here's a thought, suppose the Skins end up with Sam Bradford and Matt Kahlil.

I would be ecstatic if that happened, but how would the Redskins land both Bradford AND Kahlil?

Apparently the new GM and coach of the Rams are retarded...

The problem is what will the Rams do? Whoever comes in as HC what will their plan be? Will they not like Bradford and yet still want to keep him to challenge for a starting job but pick up RGiii? I can see that happening.

I don't see the Skins throwing their whole draft away just to get Luck. Thats not MS's style and he pretty much said that in a comment about all the picks thrown away for Gruden to the Bucks back in the day.

So what does happen? I can see MS maybe moving up to spot 3 so long as he doesn't have to give up too much, I can see MS staying at #6 and taking whoever is still on the board at QB, and I can and figure what will happen is the team will look to trade back for more picks as he did last year. Especially if Luck and RGiii are not attainable and or if his QB he's hoping to take is gone by #6.

What would I like to see happen, I'd guess dropping back for more picks since I'm figuring Luck and RGiii will be gone by either the Colts, Rams, or Browns. Plus god knows what will happen in Tampa also, I didn't like their QB situation and I doubt any new HC will either.

why can i not get to the last post of this thread?

[skinsguy]

The Rams, whoever their head coach is, will HAVE to address that offensive line.
