maddogtre Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Mods - If you feel this should be merged, I understand. However, I thought it would be cool to have a thread for ideas on what you would do for the draft now that the McNabb trade has occurred. People's ideas have been sprinkled through random threads on the trade all night, but I thought it would be nice to have a specific discussion on what skins fans think should be next. Anyways, here are my thoughts. I'm not sold that Okung is that much better than the other tackles, that we need to take him at 4 (if he's there). Even if he is, there is always bust potential (see Robert Gallary and maybe even Jason Smith). If I was GM, I would try to trade down into the early teens to pick up a second round pick. I know you need "two to tango" but at 4 it is likely that either one of the QBs, one of the DTs or Eric Berry are available. I would think someone would be willing to move up. My second trade would be the obvious shipping out JC. I'd like a #2 but realize that isn't too likely. I'd hope we can get a 3rd for him. EDIT - I see alot of people don't think a 3rd is possible. I still do because I think teams like Buffalo, Oakland, etc could possible raise his value by bidding against each other. Anyways, even if we only get a 5th for him, it doesn't really change my plan below. We just draft fat guys a little later than I had hoped. There should still be some solid depth at that point in this deep draft. Finally, I'd try to trade Carter as well. Think we could get a #4. My draft: now we have a #1, #2, #3, two #4s, #5, & #7. With the new #1, I'd take the best availabe tackle (Hopefully Bulaga if we didn't need to move down to far.) Obviously we hope this guy pans out to be our future LT. If not, we move him to RT next year and use our #1 next year on a LT. With the #2 i'd shock the world and take Tebow. We still need a long-term solution at QB. Tebow learning under McNabb for a few years sounds great as he is a leader/winner but needs time to develope. I'd also like to use him this year like he was used his freshman year to spell Chris Leak. He could come in to run some wildcat, fake draw passes, etc. With the #3 and both #4s, i'd go best available fat guys (both oline and Dline). This could include a possible outside linebacker for the 34 D, even though I think Chris Wilson will be a pleasant surprise in this role. I don't care if its a T,G,C,NT,DE,OLB, just add some depth to the lines. We could use a young RB, but we already have 3 vets and Shanny likes Aldridge. I think drafting a RB this early can wait til next year when we already know which vets we want to keep and see what we have with Aldridge. #5 & #7 are stricly best available any position. That's my thoughts. Let me know what you think and what you'd do if your last name was Shannahan or Allen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevincollateral Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 who knows what the hell their plan is...look at this Russellmania09 Just spoke to a high level source...the McNabb trade does NOT 100 % rule out drafting a QB # 4 for #Redskins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddogtre Posted April 5, 2010 Author Share Posted April 5, 2010 Thanks for your thoughts, but please try to respond to this thread with your ideas of what the skins should do this draft....not just "Shanny is Vinny 2.0" etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skins1206 Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 The former FO lack of attention to the Oline has us in a bind. This is a PERFECT position to be in to get your QB (assuming we wont be picking top 5 again next year) and have him sit behind a veteran for 2-3 years. But because we have no tackles on the roster, we need to draft a lineman at 4. IF (some people forget that it is a big IF) we can trade down, grab an olineman and get a young QB. I would also sign Flozell Adams, sure he is old, holds, and jumps off sides, but he is better than ANYTHING we have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrong Direction Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 A bunch of trades/signings. *Carlos Rogers to the Ravens for Gaither. *Sign Flozell Adams. *Haynesworth and Campbell to the Raiders for Seymour and a #4 pick. *Andre Carter to someone for a #4 pick. *Our first (#4) to the Broncos for their first (#11), Brandon Marshall and another mid-round pick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Drunkenstein Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Just spoke to a high level source...the McNabb trade does NOT 100 % rule out drafting a QB # 4 for #Redskins The front office is making this noise to prompt someone who wants Clausen to trade up. This is another smart move by the powers that be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasjhughes Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 easy Best OT available. Best OT available. Best G available. best lineman available. best lineman available. McNabb makes this possible. (and i like trading down.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodriggo Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 My plan is to actually enjoy watching our offense again and score more than 21 points in 2 consecutive games!!! Oh joy!!! I plan on watching NFC East games without the sense of dread and foreboding that we're being coached by Matt Hasselbeck's personal trainer and led by a flatlining no talent backup. This is a good day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rdskn4Lyf21 Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Fire our front office. I thought crap like this would've been done by now. I might have to go hang out in the tailgate for a few more months. If we draft a QB at 4 I will just die. You are going to die anyways. Colt is wearing #15 now. You need to change your jersey :pfft: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USS Redskins Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 My plan: Allen gets in a hot tub time machine and goes back to replace 33 yr old, injury prone, run out of Philly, McNabb with 2004 pro-bowler McNabb. Then get some Tackles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
