Grinder Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 He confirmed that "if Cleveland doesn't use their brains" and lets Brady Quinn slide, potentially to our six spot, that we would trade the 6 to Miami for the 9 and their second rounder. I know this has been discussed here but hearing it mentioned by an insider like George just gives me a case of the warm fuzzies. If that does play out then we would pick up a choice second round pick and only have to trade back three spots, which really leaves open the possibility of a second trade down if someone like Peterson or Landry was still there at 9. FWIW, George is way down on Gaines Adams ("overrated", "overweight", "not a player") and talked as though he knows he is off the Skins radar.

Birdlives Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 I'm assuming that would be for their lower 2nd round pick, not the high one. Either way, it would be a good deal for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuryYourDuke Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 It would be nice, but the suggestion of picking up Peterson seems silly. At #9 we could still fill our defensive line need, plus pick up a quality safety in the 2nd round maybe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW, George is way down on Gaines Adams ("overrated", "overweight", "not a player") and talked as though he knows he is off the Skins radar. Yes, I heard him too. However, it's a bit presumptive to say he "confirmed". Insider or not, he's not going to be in the war room (that I know), so he's really "speculating". And he didn't then say who the Skins might pick at #9, but since he mentioned this right after discussing Okoye, one might infer he's in the Redskins' sights. He also said that Okoye, amazing as he is at 19, is not deserving to be picked as high as #6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinsfor4 Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 If the Browns let Peterson slip wouldnt someone give up something similair for him.One of these 2 players will be at #6 as far as the mocks go.If you believe in them we will have a bargaining chip on draft day.

RW Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Not a bad deal, but I'm greedy and would want another pick along with the 9th overall and the 2nd rounder. Maybe a 4th rounder this year or a 3rd next year. On another note, glad to see King George keeping busy after his exit from full time work at NBC4. The sports aren't the same without him.

Oldskool Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 If the Browns use their “Brains” and take Quinn over Peterson, both Crenell and Savage will be watching the 2008 draft from their respective couches at home. Bet on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[[ghost]] Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Okoye and a DE in the 2nd=$$all speculation still though So long as we'd actualyl spend that 2nd rounder on a DE, I'd be alright with it. This may be wishful thinking, but if Jarvis Moss falls, I'd love that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizkiteer Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Talking utopia here: Wouldn't it be great if it happened and then Landry was still there at #9. If the FO didn't feel that strong about him, Patriots traded both #1's for the #9. So, two 1st rounders and a 2nd. Yippie! One can dream, right?

playboy1972 Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Seeing that Joe Thomas will be skipping the draft to go fishing with his pop, I think some teams may be turned off with this. I don't know if it will affect his status but it sure sounds stupid at first glance. So if Thomas slips, Quinn is as good as gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurd Cudins Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Goerge Michaels' sports knowledge consists of what he is told by those who know what they're talking about. He is, in effect, a parrot with the analytical skills of a retarded three-toed sloth. His lack of understanding and/or true sports knowledge is the source of great humor to his peers, who often laugh at his feeble attempts to sound intelligent. He is also a shamelss self-promoter. Edit: The reason this is relevant is because he is often purposefully misinofrmed for those exact reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunkenMaster Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 The only way I see Quinn dropping is if Detroit trades back with Tampa and takes Adams with their new pick. Or if Oakland takes CJ first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrFrank Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 It would definitely be a good move for the Skins, no doubt. I have a hard time believing that Cleveland would pass on Quinn though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they would take Peterson over Quinn regardless if Quinn gets past Detroit. But, if they did take Quinn, Peterson would drop to us and we would still have trade bait with him and Landry.

bulldog Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 there is so much dis-information being put out there trying to read the comments as being straight-forward and indicative of what the team will do a week from now is just a waste of time :laugh: it's best to just turn on the draft and watch what happens. usually, one team makes what most think is a poor decision in the top 10 picks and that slides a highly ranked player down the board so that other teams get hot to move up and then you have a trade. but that trade is circumstantial and spontaneous reaction to events that unfold at the time.
