Dr Drunkenstein Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 I'm surprised by this thread......instead of getting a franchise defining LT, you go for a QB who severely injured the same shoulder twice last season?......to groom him for later? Shanahan is trying to win now, folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thirtyfive2seven Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 No offense to the OP but good luck getting any trading partners and if Bradford is available and you pass on him ... o.m.g. i would be pissed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldskool Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Let it go, people. Bradford will NOT be drafted by the Skins. IF StL passes on him ( !) and he lands at #4, then he gets traded to the team who offers the biggest bounty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peeping Wizard Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Shanny and Haynesworth are not seeing eye to eye. Don't discount the possibility of Suh or McCoy being picked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyvern Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 I think Okung will be there before Bradford. Too bad too, because Bradford has a lot more trade value. I'm still not sold on Okung being that much better than several other O-linemen, to merit being our only pick in the first 100 picks. So unless we can get a few more picks through trades, or fill one of the offensive tackle spots through free agency -- I'd try trading this #4 pick down and into at least two picks worth.

HailinginSeattle Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Already said many times, but trade back for a couple picks. Not outside of the top 15 though, we'll still be able to get a top rated lineman and an extra pick or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsfan07 Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Okung will be a Redskin. Shanny wants to win now. So why not get a starting o-linemen that can be sure to protect McNabb? I don't see any other option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not outside of the top 15 though, we'll still be able to get a top rated lineman and an extra pick or two. Even if we trade back with Seattle at #6, the draft value chart says that the difference in the picks is worth a 3rd round pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Probos Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Russellmania09 Just spoke to a high level source...the McNabb trade does NOT 100 % rule out drafting a QB # 4 for #Redskins Russellmania09 The high level source said that if a QB like Sam Bradford were still to be at # 4..it would be a very tough decision #Redskins So, you don't think this could be a smoke screen to bait potential teams into trading up for Bradford? Have you learned nothing from McNabb trade? I'd trade back -- it's obvious Shanny wants to win now. Shore up the O-line, protect McNabb and see what happens.

J-bomb Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Rams just released Marc Bulger! Who's there backup? Posssible JC landing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldskool Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Bradford is now a Ram in everything but name... Marc Bulger-QB-Rams Apr. 5 - 3:42 pm et Rams released QB Marc Bulger. The move saves $8.5 million in salary, which will come in handy when the Rams make Sam Bradford one of the league's highest paid quarterbacks later this month. Bulger, who turned 33 today, has seen his YPA average drop in six consecutive seasons and his completion rate fall in five straight while looking shell shocked in the pocket behind a swinging-gate offensive line. He'll have suitors (e.g. old head coaches Mike Martz and Scott Linehan in the NFC North), but is unlikely to receive a serious chance to start with his new team.

Dick Edds Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 and if we can get a 4th rounder for JC from the Rams, that's as good as a 3rd rounder IMO. Do it Shanny, do it Spags ... you know you both want to! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyDave Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2010/04/05/sports/AP-FBN-Rams-Bulger-Released.html Last month the Rams signed A.J. Feeley, presumably as next year's backup on a team that was 1-15 in 2009. So Bradford already has Back up QB in place. Now we just have to hope Detroit still goes defensive lineman.

Related: Sam Bradford So Bulger is the same age as McNabb - - I wonder if his completion rate is lower than McNabb's career 59-60% rate? Okung may very well be gone. But if Bradford is available I think the Skins will get some offers - -the 4th pick is a lot cheaper than the #1 pick. So trade back and pick up a different OT. I don't think it makes sense to draft Bradford. For the McNabb pick to make sense (high second + 3rd or 4th) we really need to get 3 good years out of him. The 4th pick would get a lot of money for sitting on the bench for the majority of his contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldskool Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Now we just have to hope Detroit still goes defensive lineman. Ndamukong Suh-DL- Player Apr. 5 - 1:31 pm et According to Lions beat writer Tom Kowalski, the team appears to be moving "closer and closer" to drafting a defensive tackle at No. 2 overall. Assuming they can't trade the pick, which some observers have called "the hot rumor of late." Ndamukong Suh appears to be the likely choice, as his superior all-around game could help Detroit's run-stopping woes in addition to upgrading the pass rush. Gerald McCoy is more of a pure penetrator. Source: MLive.com Related: Gerald McCoy, Lions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diabolo Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Loins will draft a DT. They just traded from OT Sims from Seattle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veretax Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 yup Bulger is released, Bradford is basically a done deal to St Louis unless Sam's agent royall screws the thing up. I just don't see any player worthy of them taking, and though they'd like to trade down, we basically took a little trip to the bathroom in their pie by taking McNabb. No other team has teh ammunition to move up I think. Personally I think Okung should be the pick for Detroit, but if they are foolish enough to pass on him I will laugh loudly. They already have 50.5 Mil tied up in Tommy Kelly: "Tommy Kelly's $50.5 million contract was the greatest for any defensive tackle until Daniel Snyder overpaid Albert Haynesworth." Then they traded for Corey Williams who had a 36.6 Mil deal with the browns before the trade.... If they take Suh you are easily talking abother 50 Mil tied up in a DT Get the picture? If they do this they need to trade a DT is all I can say. For more reasons see: http://www.walterfootball.com/nfldraftlionsokung.php I agree with everything in that article.

redskins55 Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Okung is signed sealed and delivered for us to take. The lions just traded for Seattle's starting OG Rob Sims. If they were intending on drafting Okung they wouldn't have made this trade because the plan was moving All Pro Jeff Backus inside to guard. But now they can keep Backus at tackle and will without a doubt go defense. Tampa will go defense as well and that leaves Okung for us. Question now is can we get more draft picks somehow.
