(updated title): Make Your Day One Redskins Draft Selections (Rounds 1-2)

[GTripp0012]

I don't think we are dealing the first round pick for a wide receiver. I think we might have a shot to trade down. Maybe after the draft, we trade future picks for a wideout, but not this year.

I think the latter is indeed more likely than the former. It's all going to really depend on how the draft unfolds. It's no secret that the Dolphins want to trade up into the 1st for a QB (Flacco?) but they're talking more so to teams like the Jaguars and Cowboys. The Cowboys might, of course, package their picks to move up to #7 and take McFadden if he falls all the way down to there.

Should be an exciting Saturday

if i were the dolphins, i'd sit tight and take flacco/brohm/henne with their second.

i mean, they'll likely have their choice there.

I agree. It doesn't make sense to me, but that's the rumor. More likely is the Falcons wanting to trade up into the late first and jump past Miami. Especially since they've apparently already decided they are not taking a QB with the 3rd overall spot.

The best situation for us right now is if the Longs go first and second. In that case Atlanta will select Dorsey the Raiders will then select Gholston and the Chiefs might get Ryan. Afterwards you'll have the possiblity of Miami, Atlanta, and Baltimore all exploring options to trade up for a QB. Of course should the Chiefs contribute to a scarcity mindset by taking a QB at 17 then we could benefit from a team that wants to take the next QB.

Man I can't wait for Saturday. If only there was a way for me to fall asleep untill 12:00 PM on Saturday. For me this is the new Christmas.

I sure hope you're right, I'd love McFadden (BUST) wih the Cowgirls.

I don't follow or care about the college game enough to make educated guesses 7 rounds deep but if these two players are available at our picks, I'll be ecstatic with these picks.

1. WR-James Hardy.. I think he's got EXACTLY what we need. He's huge, has great hands and decent speed. We don't need a rookie to come in and get 70 catches and 800 yds. right off the bat. We need a guy who is going to be able to move the chains and can be a red zone threat. He's our Plaxico, who is a killer in the red zone because he's 6 inches taller than any CB we have. With the Cowboys getting PacMan, we need a WR who can offset his ability and exploit his weakness (height)..

2. DT-Ketwan Balmer.. From what I've seen & read, he seems to have a decent combination of speed and power from the DT position and with some coaching and attention from Blache can evolve into a solid force on the interior of the line..

We can fill the balance of the draft with secondary and OL/DL depth.

I would also like to point out if the Skins don't get CJ or Boldin then don't be surprised to see the Redskins first two picks to look like so

1st - Jordy Nelson - WR - Kansas State
2nd - Calias Campbell - DE - Miami
3rd - Jeramy Zutah - T/G/C - Rutgers
3rd Comp - Zach Bowman

Ironically Todd McShay has both Campbell and Phillips falling to our spot in the 2nd.

We have Maurice Mann too!!

Here's who I think I want (after much deliberation). I don't know how to get them. Just get it done Dirtbag!!

Phillip Merling, Earl Bennett (still really like Hubbard though), Roy Schuening, Zack Bowman, Tony Hills, Marcus Harrison, Craig Steltz, Adriana Lima

Wow Dirtbag! I can't believe you pulled it off and got Bennett, Bowman, Harrison, and Steltz, but....I'm not a Bears fan

Huh? Did I have them going to the Redskins during Mock Draft 1,458? Funny thing is I use to live in Chicago, so maybe it was divine intervention or something.
