The Sir Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 The perfect draft, trade down, picking up a 3rd rounder, and draft DeWayne White. Get Manuwai in the second. And draft Terrance Holt with one of the 3rds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 Perfect draft for the Skins? Repeat what Beathard did in 1981 He drafted Mark May, Russ Grimm, Dexter Manley, Darryl Grant and Clint Didier and was able to sign Joe Jacoby as an undrafted free agent That's called doing your homework............................

inmate running the asylum Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 And he also traded a #2 draft pick for Joe Washington who complimented John Riggens for a couple of years, and helped us get to the Super Bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TennesseeCarl Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 The #13 pick is worth a fair amount, I believe, but it has to be done at the last minute as teams move up for specific players at that point. If moving down twice from #17 last year nets us two third rounders and some change, I think moving down into the late twenties is worth at least a second rounder or a third, fifth and future considerations. I'm probably o.k. with moving entirely out of the first round if we could end up with three second round picks and some change. There's plenty of talent in this draft at positions where we need help.

Nighthawk Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 atlhawksfan - To me that would be a perfect 3 round draft. I like all three picks in all three rounds. Now if we could extend that through 7 rounds then it would be a perfect draft. If we got all three of those players on the first day, I'd be :jerkoff: till the next day.

Nighthawk Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 Bulldog, don't forget he picked Charlie Brown in that draft as well. 6 out of 12 picks went on to start for the Redskins. In today's NFL Grant and Didier would have been UFA's. Too bad he followed that up with one of the worst drafts ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 I don't care how we do it, as long as we end up with Vince Manuwai, offensive guard, University of Hawaii, I will be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 it's funny but during the 1982 season the selection of Vernon Dean who had an excellent rookie year at CB, looked like an absolute steal. then he came back in 1983 and was exposed. poorest sophomore season I have seen for a pick in recent Redskins history.

There's plenty of talent in this draft at positions where we need help. If we could find a way to swap the #13 pick for two second rounders, I'd be all for it -- but are there any teams with two second rounders who might bite? If not, we'd have to wheel-and-deal like last year. Risky strategy. I think we should play it safe -- take the best player available in the first, and draft for need in the second (OG).

phantom Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 I haven't looked at the crop this year, but you can almost always get a starting quality OG in the 3rd or 4th rounds if you do your homework. From where I sit, your safeties are down right HORRIBLE, and Darrel Green retired. I'd look for secondary help or a RB in the second round (if they would draft DLine in the first) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bulldog Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 Eagles vs. Raiders Redux? If the Eagles get to the Super Bowl, I sure hope Andy Reid gives them some time off during SB week to smell the roses and relax. Dick Vermeil had the Eagles tied up in their hotel rooms with early bedchecks and extra security and the team came out on Sunday as flat as a tortilla and got roasted 27-10 And man, it wasn't that close either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimster Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 Is it possible we could trade down in the first for lower first and an additional low second-We could go after a DE,DT and OG with the first three picks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montilar Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 That draft, (Mark May, Russ Grimm, Dexter Manley, Darryl Grant, Charley Brown and Clint Didier with Joe Jacoby as an undrafted free agent) was selected as one of the top ten all time drafts by one of those preseason mags back somewhere in the beginning of Norv's tenure. I've got the magazine stashed somewhere. It wasn't tops, but it was rated in the middle of the top ten. I think the Pittsburgh draft in the early 70's with stallworth, swann and co. was rated #1. Oh, Please note the positions taken in that draft. Looks kind of like what would fit perfectly right now. ------ As for the worth of the 13 pick, if you trade down to the low 20's to 32 range, I'd hope you could get a #2 and a #3 by working two trade downs just like last year. Of course last year they recieved two #3's, and with all the moving around, off the top of my head I don't remember if there was anything else. Moved down in the 5th to get loverne and a 5th, moved down in the 2cd for what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might give up a first and a second in order to draft a WR, DT, or other need position. They seem to be the only team with the picks to swing a deal that really helps us. I am all for getting more picks, as long as we scout well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaRock Posted January 10, 2003 Share Posted January 10, 2003 Yeh, that sounds cool to me. But will quality players be available in those positions at those times or would it be better to keep what we have and get a sure quality player.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
