Sawyer5500 Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Link John McClain of the Houston Chronicle hears the Redskins are "trying like crazy" to trade up for one of this year's elite quarterbacks. Unless the Skins offer most, if not all, of their 2012 draft class (picks from which will be severely devalued because no one even knows if there will be a 2012 draft), we have a hard time believing Mike Shanahan can execute a trade up. They don't have a third- or fourth-round pick this year. McClain believes that the Redskins are targeting Missouri's Blaine Gabbert. I really hope this isn't true. I really don't like Gabbert at all and im not sold on Newton either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolio47 Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 I don't see it happening. Seems like a smokescreen to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushwack Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 This is nothing more than pure speculation, at best. No one knows what Shanahan wants/is going to do. No one saw the Broncos drafting Cutler at #11 back in '06. There's just no one out in the media who has any clue as to what's going to happen in 13 days.

Chump Bailey Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 If we trade up for any QB we're making a huge mistake I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitman21ST Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Where in the world in McClain getting his info? The only thing I would trust from John McClain is that he can drive a car into a helicopter and kill someone behind him by shooting through himself.

pjfootballer Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 He should concentrate on losing some weight first. He's kind of hefty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truant Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 I'm pretty sure I'd be dejected with a trade up regardless of who we ended up with. My confidence in the direction of the franchise will waver a bit if we move up in this draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DGREENHULK Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 If anything we should be trying to trade back into the teens and acquire more picks...I hope this just someone throwing poo at the walls and hoping it sticks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWCREDSKINS Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 I don't see it. If anything I see us trading back to 15-20 and taking Locker. He's been the guy associated with the Redskins the most. I only worry about Minnesota at 12 but trading up would be a colossal mistake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rypien1191 Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Lol, last week everyone was warned about qb screens ramping up. Is it an active smokescreen on our part? Or just pure speculation by talking heads? Not sure why we would create smoke if we're looking to go after someone relatively unflashy like Quinn.

Taylor 36 Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Shouldn't John McClain be busting up foriegn terrorist bad guys in an office building or in Dullas or something? Why would a NY cop know what Shanahan is trying to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would a NY cop know what Shanahan is trying to do? He did figure out the 3 and 5 gallon jugs of water thing... so maybe he's not so ill-equipped to figure out Shanny?

gorebd82 Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Two thoughts. I believe McClain was the one that guaranteed we were signing Fat Al so a Skins prediction from him isn't completely out of left field. Second, is it possible that we're trying like crazy to trade up for a QB, but his QB guess is wrong? Maybe we're trying to trade up for Dalton. There's an expected run on QBs in the 20s and links of Dalton to Seattle. Would take a lot less ammo to move from 41 into the early 20s. ---------- Post added April-15th-2011 at 06:33 PM ---------- You're targeting the wrong QB!
