skinsrbeast Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Searched and nothing came up but he just tweeted a couple tweets about it "Spoke Monday about the Redskins interest in trading up to No 2 to land a QB. @KaraHenderson, reporting from Denver today, echoed that and..." "Others reporting similar versions as well. I'm not convinced the Skins can't land Gabbert at 10 but several GMs believe they will move to 2" "Several GMs I've talked to believe Skins will move to 2 to make sure they get Gabbert. I think he'd likely be there at 10" They say we will be going for Denver's pick. I don't know take it for what it is, pre-draft chaos. Who knows if there is much fact to this Here's the new NFL.com headline: http://www.nfl.com/draft/story/09000d5d81f7f7de/article/redskins-look-to-move-up-in-draft-take-missouri-qb-gabbert?module=HP_headlines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRAVEONTHEWARPATH93 Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Plot thickens every damn day Don't we have to give up a lot to move up to 2nd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jivelikenice Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 I really hope this isn't the case. Why trade up when there's a good likelihood he will be there at #10? We're bidding against ourselves AGAIN! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
authentic Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 "JLC reports" = believe the exact opposite. lol ---------- Post added April-26th-2011 at 06:59 PM ---------- Plot thickens every damn dayDon't we have to give up a lot to move up to 2nd? We would probably have to do a Ditka in order to get the #2....No thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiro Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 I really hope this isn't the case. Why trade up when there's a good likelihood he will be there at #10? We're bidding against ourselves AGAIN! Not necessarily. There are multiple teams who are reportedly interested in Gabbert, and are interested in taking him, or trading up for him. Teams like San Fran, Arizona, and Minnesota come to mind. Especially San Fran and Arizona. Not saying I'm advocating this, but I think we'll likely see Gabbert taken before we get there. I don't know how much it would take for us to get him, but if the Shanahans believe in him that much, I say take him. He's a safer prospect than Locker or Newton.

KAZEstrong Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 this will destroy my confidence in shannys decision making.. according to the draft pick sheet this would cost us 2 first rounders. which would mean in 3 seasons we would spend two 1s and a 2 for one QB.. that is NOT what we need to be doing..

mjpanzer Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 If this happens I will be extremely dissapointed. As a stated on my blog, I don't think ANY QB is worth taking at the 10th spot, let alone actually ****ing trading up to snag one. Count me out.

redskinz91 Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 If there's ANY truth to them trying to move up, it's to get Miller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAZEstrong Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 trying to trade UP to get gabbert, instead of trading DOWN to 17 or somewhere to get Locker or Ponder would be a franchise killing error... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinsrbeast Posted April 27, 2011 Author Share Posted April 27, 2011 Honestly I never really put that much weight into who we draft unless we have just one glaring need such as o-line last year (although obviously i'd be upset if we did something really stupid). I just take a weight and see approach. And then if they pan out i say i knew it was a good pick all along, and if they suck i say i knew he ****ed up i would have never taken that guy. #honesty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elmerz Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 St Louis is hot for Jones, c'mon Shanny give em 10 and take 14 and a second. No trading up FFS!!! Who is catching,blocking,running for that tree hugger??? Gosh were losers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destructis Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 It is what it is. I have been a Skins since I was a little kid and will remain one. If this is true, Shanny knows he is pinning his career with the Skins on Gabbert. This isn't going to make me stop rooting for them and if Gabbert becomes our next QB, I will root for him the same way I did for Sonny and all the QB's after him. I don't know if it's true or not and we will find out in two more days. If it is Gabbert, I will welcome him to the Skins family and I hope most of you do too.
