Redskins Moving up?

[Daseal]

Malcolm - the draft is one of the best times to be a football fan because I could say we're going to draft Alex Smith - and oddly enough, it could happen (I don't think we will) but it's just fun to say what if...

That said - is it saturday YET?

[TheMalcolmConnection]

I KNOW! But thank god I'll be watching it with a nice cold mug of beer at Buffalo Wild Wings rather than me having to bug Daseal to call me with every pick.

[TheMalcolmConnection]

I wouldn't say plenty. I would say one. McCants.

None of the big 3 in the receiver crowd is guaranteed (they rarely are), I happen to think that only one of the three will do anything.

Now which one?

I have mixed feelings about drafting Campbell. I don't think QB is a need now. I love the idea of Rogers at 9. At 25, is Vincent Jackson a possibility there or is that too high?

But anyway, I like the idea of having our bases covered should we lose Ramsey after this upcoming season, or if Ramsey doesn't take his game to the next level (which I really believe he will). And of course, even if there were some good QBs in the 2006 draft we just gave up our 1st round pick in 2006 for the rights to possibly draft Campbell now.

As for Campbell's attachment to the West Coast offense let's not forget that one of the best teachers of that offense is the Skins new QB coach, Bill Musgrave

I just can't imagine having to wait for Campbell or any other rookie QB have to learn and adjust to what many consider to be among the most complicated offenses in the league. If this whole experiment with Ramsey doesn't work out -- and I firmly believe this year will be his last shot -- then you can forget winning anything in the next few years, unless there's another Brad Johnson of the '99 season to carry us into the playoffs. Gibbs wants to win now, and selecting a QB of the future only sets us back in many other areas that need attention.

I am officially calling for the Jones-Jones pick on Saturday. Pac-Man and Matt would be a good draft for us.

I would love to see Jones x 2.

Here's one for us all to debate: Last night's draft special on ESPN got me scared to death, because they treated us drafting Campbell as a foregone conclusion. It's no secret I don't like the guy's ability (or lack thereof), at least with regard to the Skins' offense. So, which of the two potential nightmares would you rather have?
1. Stay at 25 and draft Campbell; or
2. Package 9 and 25 to move up for whoever they want (e.g. Edwards/Williams or #1CB).

Right now, I'm leaning toward #2, and here's why. I regard picking Campbell as essentially getting nothing. Rather than potentially having to settle for our 2nd or 3rd choice at CB/WR and getting Campbell, I'd rather have our #1 choice at CB/WR and have nothing else. Of course I'd rather them just stay at 9 and 25 and go CB/WR or WR/CB, but if they are going to do one of the above stupid moves, I think the second is the lesser of the two evils.

Any thoughts/opinions?

that's an excellent question... i'd have to agree with you on going with the second option. Losing all those picks to get some guy at 25 is a real shot in the dark. at least packaging the picks for our top target is a better risk... it's like sitting at the poker table and going "all in"- if we're going to do something unconventional (like trading a potentially higher first round, a third, and a fourth) for one pick, i'd rather go all the way with it. at least if it's a bust, it's one that had a better shot at making it than some guy at 25.

If we draft Campbell with the #25 it will be like going all in with 2-7 unsuited!

Amen!

Why in the hell are we thinking about drafting a quarterback? What happened to Patrick Ramsey?
