it seems we're stuck with the draft...

Is Tryon really that good? I go to school where I cant watch the Skins games, but I saw all the preseason games and he honestly looked like the worst player out there. Did he really improve that much?

Screw the FA's , our draft could be special if the front office runs it correctly

Start by trading down with Detroit to #20 Add a 2nd and a 5th

1st #20 Clint Sintim OLB (Starter)
2nd #33 Jamon Meredith OT(starter)
3rd #80 Andy Levitre OG (starter)
5th #129 Brandon Williams DE
5th#142 Jason Williams OLB
6th #173 Joe Burnett CB (bye bye Tryon or Westbrook)

Sounds like you follow college ball (closely). I don't so have no idea whether it's realistic to get three starters from the draft in rounds 1,2, and 3. However, I'll just point out that would be a major feat for the FO being our 3 rd pick from '08 may never be ready to start.

Are you saying trade our #13 for the Lions #20, plus their 2nd and 5th?

We'll see if Mayhew is willing to help his old friends from DC.

Great deal if we could get it. Even Detroit's not that stupid. Not with Mayhew there.

That seems way too advantageous for us and of little benefit to them. I think if a trade works out at all we'll throw in two of our picks (hopefully our first and last) for something similar to what you have here.

If Tryon even gets on the field this year (besides special teams) I will be shocked, he SUCKS ASS!

How/when do we know whether comp picks are headed our way?

I dont think we lost any free agents last year that would give us any picks.

[SmootSmack]

Compensatory picks are decided in late March. We might at best get a 7th rounder or two for Pierson Prioleau and Vernon Fox, I think.

There are going to be some UDFA prospects out there so extra picks would allow us to take them before someone else has a chance. I'll take all we can get!
