I happened to catch a blip of nfl network show yesterday saying the skins were trying like hell to move up to #2 and they all thought it was to draft Cam Newton,WTF?

Why would u guys think this would never happen? If MS thinks Gabbert is worth it he will go get him

Because he's not.
We will already have a weak draft, Shanahan cant be dumb enough to make it weaker.

With the Redskins, I have come to expect stupid on draft day. This rumor has really taken the wind out of my sails.

I think Cam will go #1 to Carolina, but yeah that would seem to make more sense (at least to me) than moving up to get Gabbert at 2

I think Cam could fall to us or beyond if he doesn't go #1

I don't know if they would pick him. I think they'd pick Locker over Cam. That's just my guess though.

I would too I do think both players are boom or bust prospects

theyre reasoning was Cam was a better fit for the skins then Carolina so they were guessing he would still be available

Those people said Locker too? Interesting.

They've stated that the if they can't get Gabbert, then Locker is the second choice. However, I don't think they'd move up to #2 just to get Locker. Like you said, I think they may move up a few spots for Locker, but if they want Gabbert, they'll have to go to #2-4 to make that happen.


It'll be funny as hell if the Panthers selected Gabbert or some other player to watch the dominoes fall.

Shanny is thinking about a possible Sam Bradford like impact w Gabbert, the Rams roster was far worse than ours so anything is a possibility right now

For those that follow college ball closely, how does Gabbert compare to Bradford as a prospect?

You couldn't beat Bradford's accuracy & quick release plus he can read defenses better than any prospects last year
