With the 5th pick in the draft the Washington Redskins select...

[skinsfan69]

NO WR'S PLEASE. Seriously, get one in the 4th round that can be a #3 and be a punt returner. We need a pass rusher or someone that can protect the QB.

Why wouldn't we take Beasley? He seems to be the most complete OLB in the draft. Plus no off the field issues.

We've done the trade down thing already and it netted us Jarvis Jenkins, Leonard Hankerson, and Roy Helu. Let that bull sink in. We traded up and got RG3, I wanna stay where we are and take the BPA

rather take a chance on a major impact player at 5, no question

you can find all 3 of those above in free agency for pennies

do you consider the terence newman and/or miles austin contracts as pennies contracts?

[Irrefutable]

a good trade this time with the Rams:

A good OLB will be available at #10 in the first round, and you can add a safety / guard in the 3rd and 4th

i understand. i am asking you if those are the type of free agent contracts that you referred to for pennies.

That history does not matter at all, that was with incompetent talent evaluators and DS chiming in. We actually have someone who knows what they are doing in charge now. In Scot we trust.

1 year deals for guys who arent worth the 5.5 million they signed for. the players are the pennies in this case.

What did Jenkins and Hank sign for?

Quake, it makes zero f'ing sense to apply the poor results of a Bruce Allen/Shanahan draft move to the Scot McCloughan era.

Give Scot those three picks and I guarantee he comes up with a lot better results than Bruce did.

I do think this is the year to go all in with the trade down scenario. Now if there is a guy you want available, you take him, but, this year, and this year only, we have as our GM a guy who was looking at all the college players and generating reports for several different teams in need of different positions. We ought to try and take advantage of that fact.

[over the mountain]

I believe in BPA in general. I believe more picks = more chances to add starters

But I also believe that when you are sitting in the top 10, you shouldnt trade down so far that all of your grade A players are gone.

I dont care if we trade down but i dont want to trade down so far that all the potential grade A players like shelton, ray, scherff or even beasley are gone.

We have the no. 5 overall pick. There seems to be plenty of grade A talent for the top 10 to 12 picks. id like to stay in the top 10.

Actually Bruce Allen was, and still is, a member of our personnel team as well as the leader of the franchise. It was Allen who gave us the McNabb trade, for example. He's still in charge. He's McC's boss.

Before someone says, "They said Scot has full control," please understand that they said the same under Shanahan, yet Allen gave us both the McNabb trade and the RGIII trade.
