Re: Russell to the skins?

If Russel was available at #6 (and he won't be) and we didn't take him I'd be pissed. With the Raiders showing that they may not be as interested in him as once thought, different scenarios may play out that allow him to fall, so the FO has to be prepared for that, and if he's available why would we not take him?

Again, the Brees/Rivers thing was a good problem to have. Having Brunell as a backup doesn't give us much options in the coming years and Joe Gibbs himself says the #1 most important position on the team is the starting QB, and the #2 is the Backup QB...

I also think, if we hadn't already spent all of our picks, and were in a position to make a move we should.... but thats completely hypothetical and doesn't matter because we are not in a position to do so and would give up entirely too much if it were calling for movement up to #1 to take him...

But... what if he falls to #4, and we could give up Adam Archuletta, Sean Springs, and our #6 pick to move up to take him... and somehow get dre bly in the process... would we do it?

I don't even think they should pick him at #6(Unless it's to trade him)...they already drafted a #1 QB and paid a steep price to move in to position to take him. JC has shown nothing to warrent giving up on him so soon.

And as far as Russell goes...throwing the ball 100 yards with the flick of a wrist does not make him a great NFL QB...he is far from a sure thing. Two words...Jeff George

I think that people are missing the point of the article. They were not talking IF Russell falls to #6 they were talking about us trading down to #1 with Campbell packaged in said trade so that we can draft Russell.

Just wanted to set the facts straight.

The Jamarcus Rumors Are Bogus/Todd Wade To Sign Today - Redskins Insider

JR's agents are telling everyone they can that dan wants to pay him big bucks... it's just another agent with another stupid ploy to get more money.

Thumbs down Re: Russell to the skins?

there's no way we are getting either quin or russell.we have campbell.its crap spread by their agents to get more money for their players.
on a different note we should trade aa for bly and springs for draft picks.
we also need to boot old brunells ass out the door.
Oh yea and one other thing.HAIL SKINS 4 LIFE!!!!!!!

I'm hoping we can trade AA for Bly and that JaMarcus with fall to us at #6. After that, I'd like to pick up Gaines Adams in the third and Okoye in the fourth. Maybe we can pick up Calvin Johnson after that but think we might have to settle for Branch.

WHAT??? Adams in the 3rd??? You mean 3rd pick overall right? Cause he's a top 10 prospect. This post makes absolutely no sense...come to think of it, why am I even bother to make a reply on a pipe dream? Shame on me.
