I do know that I cannot sit back and watch Tyler Polumbus let RG3 get killed for another year.

Actually, I think Amerson's a stud in the making. Based on last year, I think he could easily be a top 10 corner in the league. And I loved him coming out as well; in January of 2013, my first month on this site, there was a thread about trading for Revis to which I replied something to the tune of, "Revis would be nice, but he isn't really a viable option. How about drafting David Amerson from NC State?" But that doesn't mean I don't want Verrett as well; he's an ideal fit for a slot corner in the NFL. And good corners are like good pass-rushers; you can't have too many.

On Thomas, I loved him coming out as well. I made a pre-draft post about him too, something like, "Whoever gets Phillip Thomas is one lucky team." And with Bruce Allen saying that they expected Thomas to be a starter last year before he got hurt, I still have hopes for him. But Bucannon's a superior talent and doesn't have the injury issues.

BTW, it's safe to say that after last year's draft, I was ecstatic. Like a kid who had Christmas come early.

Does anybody like Dee Ford out of Auburn as a 3-4 OLB pass rusher? I might if he falls to us.

Right now my preferences for our first pick:

1. Jimmie Ward
2. Dee Ford
3. Morgan Moses

I like Dee Ford but if it were me instead I'd go with Ward, Moses, Amaro, or Nix.

Yet another great article by Rich Tandler from yesterday:

"The Redskins could use an infusion of young talent from next month’s NFL draft. The problem is that that have only six picks and they are missing a first rounder. They could improve their chances of landing good contributors and perhaps even a star player or two by acquiring more draft picks.

One way is to trade away players on the roster but the Redskins are not an exceptionally deep team (that’s why they need help from the draft) and the chances of anyone coming up with an offer for any player besides Kirk Cousins are slim. And the backup QB might not be going anywhere.

The other option is to trade down. Let’s take a look at what the Redskins might be able to get in a swap down from their initial spot, No. 34 overall, by using the draft value trade chart. The chart is just a guide but it gives us a ballpark idea of what the picks are worth.

Right now, the only team with an extra second-round pick is the 49ers, who hold overall picks 56 and 61. The could package those picks to move up to No. 34 and they might ask for the Redskins’ fifth-round pick to even things out. The issue here is that the Redskins would not be adding to their quantity of picks but the quality would improve.

The Redskins could pick up an additional pick around the middle of the third round by moving back to the latter stages of the second round. A move back of about 20 spots to 53rd overall is worth a mid-third-round pick.

To pick up a fourth they would need to move back about 10 spots, moving back five or six spots is worth a fifth.

Trading down in the third or fourth is a possibility but the trade value chart tells you that those moves yield only late-round picks. Still, the more picks you have the better chance there is of finding an Alfred Morris sometime on Saturday.

Moving up (My note: I think he meant to write "down" here) is not as simple as many fans may make it out to be. The Redskins would have to be on the clock with multiple options as to two to select. A team behind them would want to have a particular player who is on the board badly enough to give up picks in what has been called the deepest draft in years."

Jimmy Ward and Antonio Richardson will be there in the third?

Antonio Richardson will be available at the top of the 3rd, I think. But Jimmie Ward won't last that long. Perhaps if Clinton-Dix and/or Pryor fall out of the 1st round, which is a definite possibility IMO, it could happen.

I would love to draft Richardson in the 3rd. 6-6', 336, with great athleticism can always be appreciated. Plus, he has huge upside.

[Gary84Clark]

I like Fuller.

Same, but right now his stock has been on the rise and some predict he could be picked in the low 20s. I'm hoping one of the QB's falls to us at the beginning of the second round and we can use that to trade down and get an extra 3rd.
