RUMOR: Skins looking to trade up for C.J.

[CanadianSkin]

I just can not wait to see us pulling off picking up Johnson and Jamarcus Russell with the number one and two pick... Since I have seen both these rumours floating around, and I think they are both from the same Sportatalk sources.... this is not happening....

This is absurd, if we actually do this I am going to be very upset, and this organization deserves to have a losing season next year if this happens, but PFT is very unreliable so take this with a grain of salt.

Actually I look at PFT quite alot, and most of the things they talk about actually happen.

Yeah, but Florio has some iffy sources who feed him his speculation. I don't doubt that everyone was there, but the source that interpreted this to mean we were going to trade up to get him is probably retarded.

I dont see us trading up, I just think its one of those things were "if he falls...". Werent we interested in Robert Gallery and attended his workouts also? I just think there looking at everything, with that said I would not be disappointed to see him in DC

i still say we're trading down.if we trade up it just prooves we havent learned our lesson and snyde should sell the team to someone who knows football.

[MTK]

I'm not buying it.

[rvd420]

whats unofficial

[ArtMonkDrillz]

Weren't these the same guys that said the Redskins were trying to trade up to draft Russell?
Like people said during that discussion, we have a top ten pick so it's probably a good idea to check out everyone who we could possibly be in a position to take.

I keep hearing people talking about all of our needs. I'm not seeing us with a ton of needs. I think we're fairly well set at secondary with PP back, a SS would be nice, but I wouldn't call that a need. Smoot/Springs (or Bly)/ and Rogers is a solid CB core. London Fletcher, Marcus Washington, and Marshall/Rocky at WLB, our D line does need some help. Im not sold that Wynn and Daniels are completely done and I like what I've seen from Golston. This is our biggest need.

On offense we need some line depth, something you can get late in the draft. Our WRs are okay, I would like to see us get a big blocking TE, yet again another late round selection, RB we're set at, and QB we're fine.

I don't see the skins with any pressing needs besides Dline that would keep us from taking the best available player. It all depends on what trading up would cost.

due diligence people. anyone that could possibly fall to them has to be scouted for the draft, and for future FA periods. their job is to see as many prospects as possible, so these stupid rumors popping up every time someone sneezes at a pro day are ridiculous.

if he does fall to 6 for some reason an they didn't bother doing their homework, they'd look pretty f'ing stupid. they need to see if he's worth taking there (just in case) or giving away in a trade down. due diligence.

I say if he can rush the passer while playing defensive end. And, if he can get like 20 sacks. Oh, he would also have to be oustanding at stopping the run. Doing this while giving us the second coming of Jerry Rice at wide receiver. I say sure, sounds good to me.

Football is a team sport, last I checked. One, superstud WR is not all this team needs.

We can't keep relying on free agency being our main source of players to fill out our roster. With cap space more and more abundant around the league, fewer and fewer players are making it to the free agent market; they're all getting signed before then.

We can't afford to give up picks in a trade-up scenario, even for a "can't miss" (I don't buy that term about anybody, but it's used by people anyway) WR.

We need multiple players to build a good young core. Our existing core is getting older and needs to be replenished.

these new threads keep getting dumber and dumber

[Big C]

cj is going to be an amazing player, but we dont need to give up even more picks to move up to get him. if hes there at 6 then maybe consider him, but do not give up even more picks to get him

[Smurf85]

This isn't going to happen,but i want CJ bad.
