It is amazing how fans and talking heads seem to forget that every year. Look at how many generational talents and can't miss prospect there always are.

That could be used as an argument to trade down from the #2 pick.

There's definitely an argument for trading down. If you can turn that one "generational" player into three really good players (starters), the team is better off. IMHO...

Some drafts just don't have the talent, it varies greatly from year to year.
Having a high pick is a matter of good timing quite often, this year is a great year to have one, but also as a result a great year to parlay that into a multi-pick trade.
Five years ago the league was desperate for good QBs. It just wasn't a good draft so no one wanted to trade up to the top 10, the Redskins were trying to trade down like many of the top 10 teams because there was little value there.

The argument is legit... but on the long term if Chase Young really is what he is said to be, I think the team is better off having that 1 true difference maker in the trenches.
While not in favor of it, I wouldn't hate trading down but it'd have to be for a massive haul of picks.

Either/or I'm fine with, but if I'm Miami I'm using those first 3 rounders to trade up for Joe Burrow. 3 first rounders in the same year ought to buy you the leverage needed to draft anywhere in the first round.

Veteran quarterback Brian Hoyer has agreed to a one-year, $1 million deal with the Patriots with an additional $2 million in incentives, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.

Ok, if Belichick has to go to Hoyer over Stidham sometime in the season and the Patriots still win double digit games that confirms he was more responsible for the dynasty than Brady.

SFREDSKIN · 03-22-2020, 09:24 PM

Then you got players like Tom Brady 6th round, George Kittle 5th round and others being all pros. I have confidence Kyle Smith will find our TE in the draft.

I’ m surprised. I thought that the Redskins would spread out FA among several personnel instead of trying to get one big splash, like Snyder and Bruce Allen did in years past.

Possible FA moves:
1. Hooper 3-4 yr contract - NO
2. Boston 3-4 yr contrac - NO
2a. Sign FS SEAN Davis - one yr contract,
Red Flag, missed almost all last year with injury
3. Kendall Fuller 3-4 yr r contract- CHECK
4. Resign Scherff but I agree with the franchise tag to see if he has it long-term CHECK
5. Resign Flowers -outbid by Miami by $2 mi. NO
5a. Bring in MARTIN at OG
6. Trent wants a trade. LOSING BEST OL PLAYER - NO real replacement, best offer two x third rounder
7. Dunbar want a trade - LOSING BEST CB PLAYER - what do we get in return - a third?

So far this REDSKIN’s FA has been lame. Went for the home run with Cooper and he took less money and went with JerryJones. We have Nothing really at TE. Possibly losing starters LT and CB. Nothing at WR. Maybe hire Breeland to fix CB.

There is just too many open positions to fix it all in the draft. Every team changes from year-to-year. Those new positions must be filled with the draft and UDFA and FA.

The one thought that gnaws at me when I consider the idea of trading down is "What if we draft Chase Young and he is seriously injured"? The idea that we could have three or more good players instead of one great player is a bit comforting to me but solely because it seems to me to be much less likely that all of those players would be seriously injured at the same time. But that's the conservative part of me.

The football fan part of me wants to go for it and take Chase because great edge rushers create havoc for opposing offenses. They make their entire team better.

The Redskins fan part of just loves to watch Chase play football! I challenge you put on some Redskins gear, get your mind in a game day mood, and then honestly tell me you don't want to see this young man in B&G. It can't be done.

Looking at the QB field in this draft, the top 4 or 5 guys could be legit franchise QBs, or they could be busts. Unlikely Burrow is a bust, but i remember Ryan Leaf, so... Tua could be another Luck with injuries destroying his career. There's a little drop off to the next 2 or 3, but nothing major at this stage.

So, would you really give up 3 #1 picks for Burrow or Tua, or even Young? I can't see it myself given that you are likely able to draft at least one of the 5 with one of those picks. I can maybe see Miami trading 2 to the Lions to take their spot if with either of the top 2 guys are still there at #3, which I'd say is likely, but giving up all 3 to move up to 1st just seems overkill under the circumstances. But stranger things have happened...
