Wow, you are soooo far off, he's only 28. lol. It's not a matter of will he play into his 40's. Thats not what we need him for. Luck will be gone. I personally think RGIII will be also. I think the Browns will have more ammo for him but I'm not fond of tossing a 1st and 2nd rounder this year and a 1st and 3rd next year to get RGIII. We hinder ourselves until the 3rd round.

Right now Weeden is learning our offense. He's practicing very well in it. He can make all the throws we need him to make which means by getting quality weapons around him our team will win games. Because he's already learned some of the system it will be easier to learn the rest plus he will be several steps ahead of RGIII. The team would have to start from scratch in June when the Rookies are allowed to show up vs. Weeden already knowing some of the plays and cough cough possibly already having a play book to learn the rest by June.

Weeden would only need to play 5 yrs giving the team time enough to find a really decent Rookie in the next 2 yrs to start to develope for the future. You see, Weeden buys the team time to get the franchise QB you'd like them to get especially since maybe next year will have more QB's declaring.

Weeden will turn 29 during the season. Again no thanks.

Weeden as a 3rd round pick would be a steal.

he's a guy that can start day 1 while a true youngster waits

Possibly, as long as we take a QB in round 4 or 5 as well. Also, what would our top two picks look like?

Claiborne/Dwight Jones
Blackmon/Hosley
Richardson/Sanu

Definitely Blackmon, and most likely Claiborne will go in the top 5. There is no way either of them fall to us unless a team pulls a Oakland Raiders Heyward-Bey at #7 out of thin air draft pick. I hope like hell we don't waste our 1st on Richardson. We have so much young talent at RB that would be nothing less than an epic failure if we went that route. d

Remember when we took Landry over Peterson in 2007 at pick 6 because we had Portis? Yes I'm putting them in the same class if Richardson is there at 6 and we can't trade down I take him. In this whole class the two best non-qbs when it's all said and done will be Trent Richardson and Morris Claiborne and I wouldn't cry uf we got either.

And the Vikings still blow. RB is the least impactful position there is. They were just as good with Toby what's his face in there. No way I take any RB at 6. They're always dinged up and have a very short shelf life. Young and cheap is the way to go with RBs. The ones we have are fine.

I hope the Landry haters don't see this! They will be using it as ammunition against poor Laron. In fact, I have already seen a post that suggests Redskins should draft the best safety we can find with our first pick.

Your right if he fell that far he would ba a steal. Problem is he won't.

Brandon Weeden, QB, Oklahoma State, 6-3, 219, 5.00 (South Squad)Weeden saved his best day for the final padded practice. He displayed outstanding arm strength, making great throws with excellent accuracy. He showed excellent touch on a fade route into the end zone and the ability to squeeze passes between defenders. It was clear from this week of practice that Weeden was the best quarterback in Mobile and has legit first-round talent.

Here's how I'm looking at it..... of the Redskins needs, is there any position you would say right now they can't live with out? they have to address first because that position just has to get filled. and I would say I don't see any other position other then QB that I'd say is a position we have to fill over any other position. and now lets say the coaching staff likes Weeden, has built a report, he has the skills, then I'm ok with them taking him in round 1 even though he's slated to go round 2 or 3 just so we have him and can check that position off the list of needs until later in the draft if I felt there was nother QB worth drafting or bringing in as a UDFA.

Warner was already a "pro" when he came in.

Warner was already a "pro" when he came in.

First part: What about if we got two beast MLB's? Like Vontaze Burfict and Donta Hightower?

Second part: How can you say Warner entered the league already as a pro? He went into the training camp undrafted, couldn't even throw a ball ten yards. Went on to bag groceries and be in an arena football league, (something that any college qb can do), then got signed to NFL europe playing against mostly guys that never made it to the league or 3rd stringers (similar to the canadian football league), and then went to the Rams in 98...Weeden played 4 seasons at OK state, like Warner at Northern Iowa. Weeden played with better players, but also better competition and defenses(Von Miller, Gerald McCoy, Suh, Amukamara, Aldon Smith, Orakpo, etc.) If Weeden were 21,22, 23, hell even 24 He'd be a first rounder. Age doesn't mean much for the QB position. Hell Vinny Testeverde played till he was 46. Favre played until he was 42. Warner retired at 38, playing 11 years going to 3 super bowls.


Look, I was just like you in terms of Weeden, but in terms of value of where we'll be drafting and being that the good QB's will be gone, and the fact that this guys only weakness is his age, makes it a lot better of a prospect than an unknown inaccurate Tannehill. Every scout likes Weeden, they just wish he was younger. Can't change that but oh well live with it.

[EARTHQUAKE2689]

We should trade down if we are going with Burfict or Hightower. Both would be a real reach at 6.
