CallMeGreen Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 I know a pointless attack thread when I see one. And this thread will get uglier and uglier towards the FO. You watch and see. See what happens when we don't have strange and far-fetched trade rumors to discuss? Some of us, thankfully, fill-in the void with gentle humor and sarcasm... Now that's not so bad is it? Besides, as a fear for the bashing of the FO, frankly I'm hoping Vinny won't be part of the FO much past the end of April. Remember, dreaming is free!!

AKM311 Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 On a serious note, the rumor I heard (yes this is just a rumor and nothing else) it is our #6, Randel El, and next years 1st or 2nd for the #2 pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rwn Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 I am surprised no one heard this on the radio or intenet but I was driving in to my health club scanning the radio channels and heard a report of a rumour that the Redskins are negtiating with the Raiders for the No 1 pick so they will have time to negotiate a contract with the player they want. And Sorry guys no player names mentioned in the report Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkinsGuy Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 I've got some kleenex if you need one. Save them for yourself. When the Redskins FO make a move, or choose a player in the draft that they (shockingly) don't consult you and the other football "geniuses" about, and you don't like it, you'll be the ones doing the whining. Maybe then I'll offer you a kleenex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKM311 Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Oh lord that is hideous. :doh: Yes it is. That is why I never posted it before. But since this thread is pretty darn funny, I figured this would get a laugh too. But if this actually did happen, I think I would slam my head into a brick wall until I lost my memory.

pjfootballer Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 If all these rumors have any substance, it looks like they're trying to get CJ. I honestly can't see them drafting Russell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ImmortalDragon Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 If they were to do that, I would have to seriously wonder if there's anyone with any sense in the Front Office. Drafting Johnson would increase the number of players on the roster who I cannot and won't root for to more than a half dozen. The list of players on the current roster who are on the cusp of joining that list is closer to a dozen. How does that help anyone? If you don't want to root for anyone, don't root for the people that are making the decision that lead to those players coming here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HateYanksDukeCowboys Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 lets be fair to Vinny. he is to Danny what Syd Thrift was to Angelos. give him enough autonomy to sink or swim, and THEN we can judge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bang Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 If the Raiders take Russell at one, I think there's a good chance the Skins at least call the Lions and try to swing a deal to move up to number two so they can take Calvin Johnson.Just think about what that means. Vinny Cerrato and Matt Millen on the phone. Two front office legends, trying to outsmart one another. If they put the Redskins and Lions "war rooms" on pay-per-view I would definitely pay to hear that call. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Sounds like a fun cartoon. I don't want Johnson. I know he's a big time talent, but we have much more pressing needs on D, and with the level of talent of DL prospects, we simply have to address it. ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Califan007 The Constipated Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 On a serious note, the rumor I heard (yes this is just a rumor and nothing else) it is our #6, Randel El, and next years 1st or 2nd for the #2 pick. This "rumor" keeps getting posted in damn near every thread dealing with CJ, Briggs, Vinny, Snyder, Detroit, Millen, Spongebob, Mr. Krabs, or Prudence The Wonder Yak. It's nothing more than writers speculating on what possible trade bait the Skins might have if they were going to trade up to either #1 or #2.

Mass_SkinsFan Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 How does that help anyone? If you don't want to root for anyone, don't root for the people that are making the decision that lead to those players coming here. I never said I was happy with the front office, or that I would be if this went down. I just don't limit my disdain to the front office people. I can't and won't root for players I don't believe should be on the team. Right now the list of players I definitely won't root for stands at half a dozen. I get the feeling by opening day it might be closer to a dozen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I checked in football you root for a team not a player or players so if you just want to root for a player change the sport and team you root for because last time i checked football was a team sport not individual people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blitzpackage Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Top 3 draft scenarios I wouldn't be pissed about: 1) Trade out of #6 if there are suitors, maybe pick up a 2nd or 3rd 2) Select Branch, Landry or Adams, jury is out on Anderson 3) Trade up for Johnson, only if BLloyd goes to Lions I'll save my FO cynicism until April 28. Or unless they do something friggin' stupid between now and then..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePreciating Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 If Oakland were taking a QB, they would have traded down by now, seeing as trading down as far as 6 still is a lock for Brady Quinn or Jamarcus Russell, or in the worst-case scenario, Drew Stanton, who might be the best long-term quarterback available in this draft.

Maybe I just have a little more ingenuity and imagination than you do. For example (to use a player no longer on the roster), let's take David Patten. I would have loved to see us win a Super Bowl last year with him on the roster. It would have been even better if he'd had 0 catches for 0 yards and 0 Touchdowns. If he had been the player to score the game-winning TD in the Super Bowl, I would have been less enthusiastic in my celebration of the victory.

Or unless they do something friggin' stupid between now and then..... i was watching anderson tape, the kid is the real deal. good lower body quickness, has some finesse moves and a nasty bull rush. he was pushing tackles and guards over just on his initial explosion. if anything, the jury is out on adams and branch. the surest dl pick may in fact be the rawest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
