Because he just had his knee scoped so he's still on crutches, and won't pass a physical until then. It's not major knee surgery its just minor.

I also get the sense that free safety is not an issue to the team. Which worries me a bit. Is Atogwe (Rams) much of a free safety? If he is, I think he'd be a younger option than Sharper.

Redskins coach Mike Shanahan was noncommittal when asked if he'd be interested in trading for Brandon Marshall after the April 15 deadline for restricted free agents to sign with other clubs.

"You'll just have to wait and see," Shanahan said. "Can't share that with you." We wouldn't make too much of this. Multiple reports had Shanahan growing tired of Marshall's act in Denver last winter, and it's even been speculated that Shanny's plan to dump the receiver eventually led to his ouster.

Plus Denver's going to pull another rabbit out of the hat and get a first round pick for him. Even if we wanted him I'd have a hard time seeing how we could put together a solid offer.

Well, Jason Reid, Wapo Insider must have read this on here and now has added TO to the mix:

Redskins Insider - Shanahan interested in Terrell Owens or Brandon Marshall?

I really don't want either BM or TO, and I hope Santana had a growth spurt this past winter and spring and grew a foot.

The Chicago Tribune reports the Bears are "working actively to deal" DE Alex Brown & already cut ties with Adewale Ogunleye...Would either of theses DE fit in a 3-4?

Doubt it. Possibly Alex Brown but he's more of an OLB. I'd much rather give Javaris Moss a shot at OLB if he's available.

Per PFT, Jimmy Clausen will visit the Rams, Browns, and Bills prior to the draft. His visit to the Rams is irrelevant to the Skins for the purpose of trading down. But what if St. Louis picks Bradford at #1 and either the Browns or the Bills, or both, want Clausen and we don't?

I think we'd have to give very serious consideration to trading down with either Cleveland or Buffalo. We could end up with either the #7 or the #9 pick plus two high picks (I accidently typed "two high pricks" but I caught the error before I posted), including our own, in the 2nd round. Considering the holes we have to fill and the quality of this year's OT crop, we could do a lot of good with those three picks.

Torry Holt has a VERY interesting mock draft:

intresting, i would love to see this happen

Toby Gerhart, Myron Rolle seek to overcome NFL stereotypes - Ross Tucker - SI.com

This is an article that relates to something I have mentioned a while ago about how we shouldn't get Gehrhart because he's a white running back, and I believe that SFRedskin was the one I was debating this about. Nice article though.

Ridiculous. No qb in the first ten picks?

Zero chance of that happening. He must have taken one too many hits.

If the Browns want to move up let's do a deal. The fourth and seventh picks in round one have a 300 point difference. We could do this deal if they trade up:

To Cleveland
1st round pick--4th overall (1800 points)

To Washington
1st round pick--7th overall (1500 points)
3rd round pick--71st overall (235 points)
5th round pick--133rd overall (40 points)
6th round pick--167th overall (25 points)

The points in this trade would be identical and the Skins would then have eight picks in the draft:
1) 7th overall
2) 37th overall
3) 71st overall
4) 100rd overall
5) 131st overall
5) 133rd overall
6) 167th overall
7) 195th overall

The points may be equal, but I just can't see Holmgren paying 3 extra draft picks to move up 3 spots. Maybe the 1, 3 & either the 5th or 6th.
