Rumor: Redskins prepared to offer at least 4 picks for the #2 pick.

True.

But then there could also be a flipside to that. Sometimes, teams end up having good drafts and can possibly score on 3 or 4 players.

What if that happens?

It comes down to this, would you rather see a whole draft pissed down the drain all for the sake of sacrificing it for one player?

Or, would you rather see them have a good draft, address maybe 3 or 4 positions and still have the possibility to address the QB in FA.

Hypothetically, lets say, they score on 3 or 4 players in this years draft that can contribute to the teams future.And at the same time, the Chiefs can address the QB position in FA w/ Manning lets say. I'd rather take that.

If they trade up, they'd be at risk of possibly losing out on 4 key players who can contribute to building your team. And all for what? for the price of one?

Sorry, I just think its too risky.

Yes, when that position is QB. We have drafted practically every other position in the first round BUT QB since 1983. It has yielded us three playoff wins. I would rather gamble on a potential stud QB than keep trading back and playing it safe, which has never worked for us.

It's not worth it. I don't care how good he is. You don't sacrifice the whole draft.

ya, let's just never get a franchise QB. Because what we've been doing, boy it's working amiright?

Or we could just draft the franchise QB who falls down the first since they tend to be better than the ones drafted high.

Chiefs can't compete with that.

[Mr. Laz]

sign Bowe

tag/trade Carr

use the 1st round pick you get from trading Carr to trade up

our 1st
1st from Carr
2nd round pick
2nd round pick in 2013



two 1st round picks, two 2nd round picks = 4 picks

RGIII, Peyton Manning and scrub draft picks

Damn. Makes me wonder what the Colts could get for that other guy.

Probably off the charts. I'm not sure the points chart even applies to these guys. I think if the Rams can get a bidding war going the chart is going out the window.

I actually wonder if Bill Polian would've considered it if he was still there... he liked to trade back. But I think there are scouts who are going to like Griffin over Luck by the time the draft rolls around. Griffin is such a freak athlete.

Will the Rams turn this into gold like the Cowboys did? Actually the Cowboys got more, but this should help out the Rams immensely.

The Cowboys didn't get more, they made the most out of the picks that they received.

The Herschel Walker deal was only one-sided because the Cowboys picked guys that ended up being huge contributing factors in their dynastic run in the early '90's.

The Vikings were pretty well compensated in that trade.

This is shaping up to be a Ricky Williams/Mike Ditka insaneo level deal.

And that price is way too high for any team, other than the Redskins, who seem to rejoice in bat shit craziness. Remember, this is the team that gave Albert Haynesworth 100 million dollars to be a two gap plugger.

To acquire a franchise quarterback? With Crazy Mike and Dan Snyder pulling the strings on the deal? Yikes.
