Peyton Manning or RGIII your choice

[Ruhskins]

I'm going to steal your scenarios Dirt and add a few things...

Offseason Plan with Peyton:
Sign Peyton
Sign Marques Colston
Trade Down and pickup DeCastro (OG) in the first
Pick the best second tier QB in the 2nd (Tannehill, Foles, Osweiler)
BPA with the other Second Round pick with a slight favor towards the offensive side of the ball (tackle or WR).

Offseason Plan with RGIII
Sign Vincent Jackson
Sign FA Vet QB bridge
Sign Ben Grubbs (OG)
Get an upgrade from Brown at RT.
Trade 2012 and 2013 First, 2012 second for RGIII (I don't think two firsts is going to cut it)
Use third round pick on BPA preferably offense

Why Marques Colston with Peyton, but Vincent Jackson with RG3? Just variety? Or something more design-oriented?

I was thinking money-wise Colston would be cheaper than VJax, and well I am sure Manning would cost some money. With RG3, I would see VJax as the #1 FA acquisition and we would probably have a bit more money to spend on him.

Personally I'd prefer Colston anyway. He doesn't have the off-field troubles of VJax nor is he a head case like Bowe.

Same here. Plus, a healthy Manning throwing to Colston would probably mean similar production as he had in New Orleans.

Also this. The only thing I don't like is Colston's age. I hope I'm wrong on this but I believe he's 28 or 29, and his injury history doesn't bode well for his future. When healthy he's a very solid wideout.

Gotcha.

Seems like a lot of players are coming out of the woodwork about Manning to the Redskins. Schlereth was preaching it on Mike & Mike this morning.

I told the same thing to my Dad that the notion that Peyton doesn't want to face Eli twice a year is insane. If anything it's a huge plus for Peyton given how he's competitive to the point of insanity.

He's right....

Offseason Plan with Peyton Manning:

o call Reggie Wayne, Anthony Gonzalez

o target NT/DE Paul Soliai

o try and trade out of the 6th pick and target BPA OL (e.g. Martin, Decastro)

o keep adding BPA talent with the specific focus of upgrading OL and a starting caliber Safety

o draft a developmental QB with the second 4th round pick or later (maybe one of the QBs rated highly on their board falls? or take a flier on a Russell Wilson in the 5th)

o sign a developmental/journeyman FA QB

Gonzalez hasn't been healthy in the league. When was the last time he stayed healthy and produced. Besides we should be targeting Pierre garcon, he's better.

But really it doesn't matter, because eddie royal seems like a lock to come here, no sense in 2 slot WRs.

And Soliai isn't happening, sorry to burst your bubble. We aren't signing 2 NT's back to back/moving one of them out of position.

Cofield would be a much better player as a DE (especially if Carriker is gone) and Soliai would be a much better fit as a NT. The only reason we are probably not get him is because of money (and for some reason JH/MS refuse to get a true 3-4 NT).

Yeah thats what I mentioned as the second part of my answer. And true we for some reason don't want a True NT. Cofields good enough to be one in the league. IF we did get soliai we could have a beast DL similar to the packers in '10 with Cullen Jenkins (Jarvis/Bowen), Pickett(Cofield), Soliai (BJ raji). That would be BEAST. But again not happening. We get Jarvis back, hopefully (knock on wood) he looks a lot like he did last year in the preseason. But we need to be cautious because he is a 300+lb man on a recovering knee trying to get back to pro football with a family history of torn ACLs. He may not ever be the same...
