2010 NFL Off-Season Rumors and Reports (Week 4)

[CultBrennan59]

I think that more likely would be that we draft Clausen, and trade Clausen, Andre Carter, LaRon, and our 6th rounder next year for Sam Bradford

[IrMitchell]

Yeah I never really considered the Rams doing something like that but you really never know. Let's just hope they draft Bradford and keep the lions taking their DT of choice and the Bucs not taking Berry. I think we'll have lots of say with our draft pick and get a lot of phone calls on April 22nd.

[12thMan]

While Bradford might be worthy of being picked first, he's definitely not a let's give up the farm, can't miss prospect.

I don't see the Skins parting with any future picks to move up and draft Bradford. If he doesn't fall to us, I just don't see him becoming a Redskin. But...as someone else said, you never know.

I've read about, heard about, and thought about so many scenarios for the Redskins' draft that my head is spinning. I think I'll just forget about it for now and see what happens as the offseason unfolds.

From the Redskins Fan Mailbag. I tend to agree with how Gary sees it going down.

Question: Do you think the Redskins will trade down in the draft? We have a good quarterback in Jason Campbell and I believe Mike Shanahan is smart enough to realize that. I know the 49ers are desperately in need of a franchise quarterback and they have the 13th and 17th pick in the draft. They might be interested in trading up to get Sam Bradford or Jimmy Clausen with the fourth pick.

-- Andrew S.

Gary: If Bradford and left tackle Russell Okung are both off the draft board when the Redskins pick at No. 4, then I believe the Redskins will explore trading down. Multiple teams should have interest in trading up for one of the two elite defensive tackles, Gerald McCoy or Ndamukong Suh, in the draft. San Francisco would appear to be a good target as a trade partner with the Redskins, whether they want a quarterback or not. However, I’m not sure the 49ers would be willing to yield both of their first-round picks. How about one of their two first-round picks and their second-rounder, at No. 49 overall?

This is a great scenario for the Redskins if Bradford is off the board at #4. I would be ecstatic if we landed Bradford at 4 or this deal yielding 2 O-lineman with our first 3 picks.

SF's #13 and #49 isn't enough to justify trading them the #4 pick. I wouldn't want to trade down that far in the first round.

I might accept Cleveland's #7 pick and both of their 3rd round picks or a first and a second round pick from either Oakland (8 and 39) or Buffalo (9 and 41).

Boswell of the Wapo agrees with you, as do I.

Thomas Boswell - Sam Bradford looks great, but the Redskins have so many options with the fourth pick in the NFL draft - washingtonpost.com

#13th worked very well for us last year. Not unlucky at all.

By Bradford, you mean Okung, right?

[SFREDSKIN]

Looks like this guy is getting his act together over the year.

Boone said he consumes 500 grams of protein among his intake of 6,000 daily calories, which entails stuffing himself with lean chicken, veggies, brown rice and protein shakes.

That sounds great and it is for the like the first week. Then one day you realize crap "I haven't eaten enough today." It's so hard to because the type of food you're eating is very filling.

Bradford has the unique ability to block for himself. This will give us the chance to put 10 recievers on the field and send 5 out on any given play with the other 5 setting up behind the line of scrimage.

So JZ was just ahead of the game with the swinging gate play. Who knew

Yes, I would be happy with Okung at #4 if Bradford is off the board. I think I had somewhat of a Freudian slip in my post where I had already given the premise of SB being gone.
I do think that IF Bradford is there at #4, we should take him. I do think if SB is NOT there at #4, we should try and trade down FIRST. I like Okung, but if we can get 2 O-lineman and an additional stud player in a position of need in the first 2 rounds, that seems to be more valuable than Okung. I would love to snag a Javid Best, Rolando McClain, or even the LB Spikes from UF with that 3rd pick via the trade down.

I'm just hoping we don't take a quarterback. The fact that both of them are reaches at 4 aside, both of their faces are immensely distracting. Bradford looks like he's got downs and Clausen's face is squished. that points not relevant at all, i just thought it would be worth discussion.
