Price to move up like that is always a future first rounder or like 2 second rounders. Sorry, but second rounders have good starting potential.

Anyone else care to guess?

I think the price to move up for RGIII will be too high, unless Cleveland decides not to draft him and we trade up to #4. Shanahan isn't selling the farm.


I think we go Tannehill in the first with Noles in the second round if we decide to draft another position in the first.

Think Cleveland saw what the Ravens and Niners did this year and said to themselves, "We can win like that. Let's roll with McCoy."?

My thoughts are: If MS likes RG3,then it will be him. I personally think trading up to the #2 pick will be a lot easier than we might think. I could be totally off base, but are we not considering the relationship of Fisher and MS? Fisher will defiantly do what's best for the Rams, but I would think Fisher will give his good friend every opportunity to jump into the 2nd pick if the compensation is comparable to other offers.

If manning is healthy Luck, if not RGIII
we aren't going to play games with a qb this year too much is at stake.

Colt McCoy

Dirtbag, you should make this its own thread

Losing picks for RG III is dumb. I used to think he was the shit, but his size gives me concerns, but the real reason I don't like trading up is that we still have a lot of holes to fill. I don't see why the Okie St kid is not on the radar as much, just because of his age. It is not like any of our SB QBs, other than Joey T, were here for very long after they won the SB anyway. Weedan is tall and has a pretty decent arm. The extra years added on might help with poise too. Not saying go for him for sure, but I think that option should just be out there. Also what about Kellen Moore or Case Keenum? It seems like we focus on QBs we can't get without giving up picks.

Jason Laconfra or however you spell his name is reporting that there is a rumor around NFL execs that the Skins are planning to trade up with the Rams to get the #2 pick in order to take RGIII or Luck if the Colts take RGIII. Supposedly our #6 pick and several later round picks.

He also said Manning is off the table cause we don't have an OL to protect the older and now easily injured Manning so he probably won't want to sign with the Skins.

Personally let us take whoever is available at #2 and hopefully we still have our 2nd round pick and just pick up another Weeden or Foles. Get our WRs from FA for the passing attack.
Unless we are able to pick up Flynn to challenge whoever we draft.

If any of the speculation is to be believed, we would not have a second for this year and probably next.....and the occasional first here and there....who knows

Which is why I'm not a fan of tossing everything just to move up. If they do I sure hope there is a plan "B" like a FA QB brought in also.... someone decent to either challenge or be able to step in if the Rookie is not ready. I'm not a fan of two Rookie WR's but I like what I'm seeing from Weeden's practices at the Senior Bowl. He's making all the throws today, dropping the ball where only the WR can catch it and even the announcers were speaking highly of Weeden.

I'll say this... Many people go straight to Weeden's age...

But what if he comes in as a rookie and plays like Andy Dalton? Then is his age a huge issue? I mean, a good QB plays through 34-35.

Brees was 33 this year, Brady is 34, Eli is 31, & brother Peyton won his SB at 30, lost one at 33... heck, Elway was 37 & 38 in his SBs... also see Kurt Warner, Brad Johnson, and Rich Gannon.

By my count, he could be at least 6 to 8 year run of good QB play for someone possibly.

I could see Weeden being this year's Dalton for sure.... why not?

Here's my opinion on Weeden. When he went head to head with Andrew Luck the one thing that stood out to me was Weeden actually attempted and completed more NFL throws than Luck. Weeden was shooting lazers deep into the heart of their pass defense. He wasn't going for the easy dink and dunks, or only throwing it down field when the reciever was wide open by a country mile like Andrew Luck did. I really like Weeden and wouldn't be dismayed at all if we decided to take him with a 2nd or 3 round pick.

Yeah he was the same guy before the last draft saying we are definitely taking a QB. He talks to much for me.

I wouldn't be surprised if MS and Fisher already have a gentlemen's agreement to trade picks, or at least to give the Redskins the opportunity to match any offer.
