us taking a qb at 4 is the smokescreen i was calling out. i also think that haynesworth will be retained because we wont get enough value for him from anyone.

Much to do about nothing..... if we get berry, landry moves to SS, I'm betting we trade back!

[mooby]

Man after everything I've seen on Berry he looks like the real deal. I've never been more impressed with a prospect that I knew we didn't stand a chance of drafting. He's gonna be starting from day 1 and I'd be very suprised if he didn't become a Pro Bowler within the next 2 seasons.

Noooo i just looked at Eric Berry highlights on utube and im sold lets pick him!!!! We dont need an o-lineman!!!!

I don't know where they will have room for all of our potential draft picks.

I read where the team had 75 guys at our "Voluntary Mini-Camp".

This close to the draft every word coming from teams should be considered a smokescreen

This.

The fact that StL hasn't gotten a contract done is interesting. I guess maybe they're using the top picks against each other to maybe get the best deal. So they'll just take the cheapest option? Why else would they not be negotiating yet? They have to know what player they like best by now.

They're probably just holding out hope that someone wants to make a deal and trade up.

Yeah I guess but that is a dangerous risk. Once they draft a guy they lose every bit of contract leverage that they currently hold. They need a lot to nmake that a good team but they have a shot at a franchise QB. Not time to dick around. Sign him before the draft and avoid a holdout.

Yeah who knows, maybe we'll start hearing some buzz this week about them negotiating with someone. If not maybe there is some genuine interest from someone in dealing up?

I like this: "Washington's Bruce Allen & Mike Shanahan are championship smokescreeners or simply uninformative." From @SI_PeterKIng's MMQB.

[redsk1]

The Skins FO has done a good job of giving no hints as to what in the world they are going to do at 4. I hope we have some major trade options available.

PFT: Smokescreen.

Like PFT says, if Bradford slips we would probably pick him. But how will that possibly happen?

Stranger things.

If Bradford doesn't go 1 then he has a better than average chance to get to us. Obviously Det isn't taking him so at 3 TB would have the choice of the other DT(assuming one of them went 1) the best QB, the best S, the best OT. God knows what that monkey team would do with all those options. They'll probably screw it up and take the DT but maybe they'll get some sense and take Bradford.

Dont we also have 5 QBs on our current roster.
