I'm also wondering about who would provide value for a #4 pick if our favorites are gone. I'm not sure that we want to pick Thomas at #4.

No way. I got ya. :thumb:

Lorenzo Alexander is the Chuck Norris of this football team.

Yep wait till he comes out during a game as a FB.

As others have speculated, maybe Haden at #4? Or Berry? Or McLain?

I don't know about others, but I am not convinced that the second best OT or second best QB are worth the #4 pick. Then, barring a trade-down, we have to ask, who is worth #4?

If our favorite QB and OT are gone at #4, what do you think, 53Fan?

My head is spinning man. I think Bruce Campbell, Brian Buluga, Eric Berry, Joe Haden, Suh, McClain, or Gerald McCoy could all help us. If Okung and Bradford are our first 2 choices and they're gone and we can't trade down, we have a tough choice to make.

We could take Anne Hathaway at #4. That would keep everyone else off balance.

I'd get horizontal with her, that's for sure.

Or we could just trade them all for Ricky Williams as you mentioned before. Hey! Maybe if we put enough together we could get Jason Taylor! I know he's a URFA but WTH!

Yeah thats what I meant by later round, like later in the first is what I meant not later in the draft rounds..

Mike Bell gets low tender from Saints | ProFootballTalk.com

He could definitely be here considering he played in Mike's Offense in Denver.

Okay so now our RB conversation is Clinton Portis, Ladell Betts, Quinton Ganther, Rock Cartwright, Marcus Mason, Anthony Alridge, and PJ Hill with the addition of possibly via Free Agency Peyton Hillis, Mike Bell, Tatum Bell, Ladainian Tomlinson, and Darren Sproles on top of possibly drafting, Jahvid Best, CJ Spiller, Montario Hardesty, or Ben Tate.

.......I think the offseason has officially gotten on my nerves.....

Can't wait for Redskins 1st workouts on March 15 to hear the Shanahan's talk about guys like Brennan and Alridge so we can gauge what direction we may be goin in.

I am now thinking ladell and rock are gone before training camp.

I think Tatum Bell is going to stay in his kiosk selling cell phones, so you can scratch him off the list. He was actually pretty good. The company posted profits when he was manager.

You can be sure Broncos' Bell won't phone this one in - SignOnSanDiego.com

Ahh, the annual "Rock Cartwright should be cut" posts. I wonder if this will actual happen this year? This has become the Groundhog Day of the Warpath. LOL.

Oh and it seems that Ryan Clark may become an unrestricted FA...

I posted in the Darren Sproiles thread a link about the redskins expressing interest. It is being reported in S.D. I am aware it could be false. BUT there is a connection with MS in that he saw him twice a year and probably really respects him as a player. Maybe someone he always coveted. He also fills 2 other needs in pr and kr. There are dots that can be connected for this to be more than a rumor.

So aquiring a guy like that would see the end of Rock, and ladell is making alot of money not doing much already. I like rock but I see the writing on the wall for the guy, he was part of the old guard.

I am trying not to get to excited about this team or put some of the old stereotypes on us. I am trying to believe that all of our moves will be The Shanny's, Haslett's, and Allen's plan going into place.

If this means we go out and sign all of these top notch guys spending a ton of money along the way. Then I will trust the guys and assume this is the LONG TERM PLAN.
