This offense is strictly limited to serviceable veterans and young developmental late round prospects who will never see the field because they are "developing."

I endorse this post and the sarcasm used to create it.

If you prefer not to read about rumors - - where even if sources are cited they are probably not all that authoritative or else it would not be a rumor - - stay away from threads with that in the title.

Don't be such a curmudgeon.

Unless Hoody sees a player he really likes in the first round (Jerod Mayo for example), he typically trades down and stockpiles late 1st and 2nd round picks, which are usually productive players at a cap-friendly price. I wish that we worked the draft the way NE and Philly do.

You mean like trading for McNabb and giving up a 2nd and 4th rd picks to the Eagles for a QB that Shanny does not want any more. So now what can we recoop any picks or pick for McNabb this year? If we dont what a waste of 2 picks for us.

Well, as I said earlier in this thread Broncos rumors are tied as much to them looking to save some money as anything else. End of the day I think they stay at #2. And yes, MS does like Gabbert (or Kyle really does, I forget which one), but they're not trading up for anyone. I mean never say never, but I'd be totally stunned. If anything they'll trade up from the top of round 2

skinsfaninok · 04-14-2011, 12:33 AM

No way this trade happens. We don't have enough picks to move up 8 spots, and we can t afford losing a 2nd rd pick for Gabbert

NM Redskin · 04-14-2011, 06:31 AM

Lets swap picks, send them Fat Albert, take Gabby done and done.

SS33, who do you think is a pick at ten best fit to play DE in our scheme?

I honestly don't see the Skins throwing their only top two picks just to move up for one spot. They really need to, if anything at all, trade out of the #10 spot to pick up more draft picks themselves.

freddyg12 · 04-14-2011, 11:23 AM

This seems like a difficult year to trade back, especially in the top 5. The uncertianty w/the cba/lack thereof makes it hard to determine just how much teams will have to pay these picks. I think we're in a much better spot to trade back than Denver.

If Fat Ass needed the O2 tank at least once a game here while playing at around sea level, could you imagine what he'd be like playing 8 games at Mile High?

It would cost them 1300 points in addition to their 10th pick this year to move up to #2 for Gabbert. It's a steep price to pay but as i have said time and again on here if it solves the 20 year QB problem it's a price worth paying. Franchise QB trumps all other needs. If Shanny views Gabbert as the QB that he wants to build around then GO GET HIM.

Look at it this way...would you trade Orakpo & T Williams for Sam Bradford? I love those 2 players but I would do that in a second. QB is the hardest hole to fill and you are not even in the game until you have one...

I think it would be more plausible to trade up with denver in the 2nd round giving them Haynesworth and our second round pick for their second round pick. Puts AH back in a 4-3 in the AFC West, far away from Washington.

We can't trade fatty or anyone else without a new CBA.
