Hooper Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/insider/columns/story?columnist=pasquarelli_len&id=2792825 Houston owns the eighth overall choice in the first round of the draft and NFL sources tell ESPN.com that the Texans have been talking to teams higher in the order about moving up in the round, if necessary, to snag Quinn. Specifically, the Texans feel they might have to leap-frog the Minnesota Vikings, who own the No. 7 pick and who also will be tempted to grab Quinn as their quarterback of the future. The Texans have been doing a lot of talking with Washington, currently at the No. 6 slot, about a deal. That makes sense because Redskins coach Joe Gibbs, who finally seems convinced that you can't buy a Super Bowl with free agents and actually have to invest in some draft picks once in a while, wants to slide down out of the No. 6 slot and amass extra choices. Some in the league feel the Texans and Redskins already have an arrangement in place for such a deal, provided, of course, Quinn is still on the board at the sixth slot.

Whats the difference in draft value between the 6th and the 8th? Im sure if they throw their second pick in with the 8th for our 6th, our FO would bite, but is that too much compensation to move up 2 spots?

Oldskool Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 This deal better include at least a 3rd round pick this year as compensation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riggo#44 Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 This deal better include at least a 3rd round pick this year as compensation. This actually makes a lot of sense...I would be all for this. Would Branch still be available at 8? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldskool Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 This actually makes a lot of sense...I would be all for this. Would Branch still be available at 8? Probably. Vikes wouldn't take a DT with that pick. They are more likely to take the DE that we have highest rated instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD_washingtonredskins Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 I would love this situation. Granted I realize we can't get too much for two slots in the draft! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McMetal Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 yeah, at least a third I would think, and we can put to rest that nonsense about Denver... Better hope Cleveland doesn't take Quinn though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Prime Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 I think if we're shopping our pick we can get a lot more then a swap and 3rd, but that's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedBNG Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Oh pleeeze, pleeeze, PLEEEZE! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D We'll take their 2nd round (39) pick in exchange, and STILL get who we want. OK, OK.... get our 3rd back. I was just dreaming there for a few seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldskool Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 I would love this situation. Granted I realize we can't get too much for two slots in the draft! 200 point difference between the picks equals a 3rd round draft choice from the Texans.

Siven Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 you trade down to 8 and you can still get Jamaal Anderson. that would be awesome. I dont want to trade with Denver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diesel70ChipOnWhite Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Redskins 6th pick =1600 pts Texans 8th pick =1400 pts Texans 40th pick (2nd Round) =500 pts Texans 72nd pick (3rd Round) = 230 pts So i guess it all depends how bad they want Quinn. If we did do this trade, id almost want to go back to 15ish and then snag the 19 year old and pick up a 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe get a pick next year as well as a 3rd this year but any more than that and you are kidding yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Burgundy Rhino Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 To move down a few spots and recover a 2nd rounder would be a good move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't saying to ask for both the 2nd and 3rd, i was just pointing out the values of both. It wouldnt be too far fetched to ask for their 1st and 2nd but more likely to get 1st and 3rd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supadrummer Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 I don't know about how the point system works with draft picks but i wouldn't mind the trade if we got say a 2nd or 3rd found pick with the 8th overall pick. That would give us at least the player we want and an extra pick......could that mean that the defense gets fixed and we get a good tall reciever to complete the offense? I can dream can't I? I am defensive minded but I want to see the Offense at least put up 35 points a game. Or i'd be greatful if we get two game changing Defensive lineman. Any thoughts?

Warhead36 Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 We should try to get the Vikings, Texans, and if possible the Dolphins to all outbid each other. Contact the Vikings and Dolphins and tell them they have a trade in place with the Texans in exchange for a certain pick, and see if you can get more. Create a bidding war and reap the benefits.

Dirk Diggler Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 If you want to talk about absolute best case scenarios for the Skins, something like this is it. You potentially have teams like Minny, Houston, and perhaps Miami salivating over getting Quinn. You pick up a 2nd or perhaps 3rd rounder from Minny to drop down one spot and still have your pick of the defensive line litter. Believe it or not, Detroit of all teams played a screnario like this perfectly back in 2004. They had Cleveland and Jacksonville salivating over Kellen Winslow behind them. Millen traded down 1 spot from 6 to 7 and still got his guy - Roy Williams. For his trouble, he picked up Cleveland's 2nd rounder. Unfortunately, we're going to have to wait another 6 weeks until draft day to find out. Nobody makes trades like this until we're "on the clock" because they risk getting leapfrogged if Arizona trades back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
