I think he's definitely a risk ... but if you're going to get rid of Cousins, I wouldn't mind swapping him for Trubisky straight up considering we likely lose him next year for nothing ... I would imagine SF would give us #2 for Cousins ... and if that did happen, and we take Trubisky, then so be it. Cheaper player for 5 years while we build the team ... rather than $25m a year for Cousins ... if you're gonna bail on Cousins I could think of worse ways to do it than to replace him with Mitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows if true but if it is: They are on board with Charles Harris being hot on the radar (Grant Paulsen just said he's heard the same from people he knows) They also really like Peppers (some other draft geek said the same awhile back, forgot whom), Cook and Barnett Dalvin Cook is #1 on their board. They really like Trubisky (hopefully that doesn't mean anything) http://www.sportingnews.com/nfl/news/nfl-draft-rumors-news-updates-browns-49ers-bears-eagles-steelers-cowboys/4jla52tbm7ws1met4algvpiw9 Jeebus... Trubisky (though I'm hoping that's just to light a fire under SF or maybe the Texans if he falls to our pick), Pepper, Harris and Barnett... and probably my least favorite of the top 4 rbs. If we go one of those routes... I hope we nail the rest of the draft. To be fair, I'm fine with most of those guys after a trade down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what happens when you strangely fire him before the draft while publicly making it known that anyone could hire him. The ONLY way that this hurts us is if he divulges information about our draft board, so other teams have an idea of who we're picking, and when. But since he was essentially fired before the combine, I'm pretty sure that the board has changed significantly since he last saw it. So, I can't imagine that there would be a lot of impact. And as far as a talent evaluator is concerned, if somebody else wants his opinion, fine. That doesn't scare me either. Like all GMs, he's had some hits and some misses. So, shrug.

Est.1974 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 The Ravens pick at 16 is going to be pivotal I think. They are heavily linked with Alabama prospects. If they pass on OT, I think we will trade back with Denver or the Giants for an extra third. Problem is that may take Cook away at 19 to Tampa and mean Foster has already gone to the Ravens or earlier. May as well go all the way back to 25 with the Texans at that stage if they jump for a QB. My view, I reckon our target is primary target is Reddick but we'd be all over Allen or Hooker at 17. If they are gone we bail out to the 20's and go Takk or shock pick of Tyus Bowser.

As usual, nothing likely to come out of it, but it'll be nice anti-climactic theater. I haven't seen this "how much they love Trubisky" thing or gas station thing. Here are my hopes, solely based on the ensuing drama, which would be fun to watch. 1. 'Skins trade with SF for the #2, pick Trubisky . (Hopefully get a 2nd and 3rd in addition to the pick, because a franchise QB in his prime is worth more than just the #2 pick overall. This would be HIGH DRAMA. 2. One of the three top ranked QBs fall to the 'Skins, and they pick him at #17. Leading to a 1 year tutorship under Kirk, and then turn the team to him. That would be SO MUCH FUN. 3. 'Skins trade Kirk to SF (as before) but Cleveland has already selected Trubisky. The 'Skins select Myles Garret. Which would be really fascinating. Now they're in the market for a QB, but have really helped the defense. 4. 'Skins pick a RB at #17. Possibly Cook. This wouldn't be really interesting until October when we realize that we still can't stop anybody under any circumstance. Not that a defensive player at #17 solves that problem, but it would lead to a lot of "well, why the hell didn't you do something about it?" conversations. EDIT: In the "Best Interest of the Team" mode, I would hope none of the above happen. For knowing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I recall correctly from other posts, your tendency is to take Bruce's side on the Scot fall out. And that's cool to each their own. I am not thrilled with either one of them as for how it played out. But I don't see this though as a Bruce versus Scot thing. My take related to this issue is if Scot had to be let go then do it after the draft -- the people (Grant, McNally, Russell) who brought this story out initially suggested that Bruce's intention was to wait until after the draft to fire him but he went ballistic when he saw Scot's wife's tweet with the rings and then the subsequent photo of Scot wearing Redskins gear at Whole Foods. If so, it just seems to me odd that Bruce couldn't take it until after the draft and would tell the world hey you can take our guy right before the draft, have at him. Scot was working hard on the draft board as far back as last fall. Scott Campbell admitted that Scot's stamp is on their draft board. The idea that's its changed that radically in the last two months IMO is doubtful. Is it the end of the world? Nope. But do I want Scot sharing his top picks that likely to some degree dovetail with the Redskins -- nope. We don't know who Scot's advising. If I were one of the NFL East teams, I'd hire him -- who do the Redskins like again? Where do they think they are vulnerable and why? Where do they think we are vulnerable? Not the end of the world but a bigger deal in my opinion then a shrug. Edit: The NFL Network is pumping the story some just now, getting some traction on the radio too. So at least from an interest stand point its gaining more than a shrug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 I would sure as heck naturally expect other teams to be into one of the brightest evaluating minds out there who learnt under the best. If I were a fellow GM I'd of been straight onto Mac's phone for his info/ input the day he was fired. Sadly, we have an organisation that can't deal with being grown up and professional so now we have the kids back in charge of running this show. May God go with us the next three days. Hail.

JamesMadisonSkins Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Big Hypo: Trade Kirk to SF for #2, #66 (3rd) and a 1st next year Option 1: Load the defense and wait for QB next year (or mid round this year) ... assume Trubisky goes #1 to Cleveland and play the "we just traded away a franchise QB so we gotta make these picks count" mode ... 2: Myles Garrett, EDGE Texas A&M 17: Reuben Foster, ILB Alabama or Jarad Davis, ILB Florida 49: Joe Mixon, RB Oklahoma 66: Dalvin Tomlinson, DT Alabama 81: Sidney Jones, CB Washington or Gareon Conley, CB OSU 4th: Ethan Pocic, C/G LSU 4th: Best QB Available (Webb, Peterman, Kaaya) 5th: Caleb Brantley, DL Florida CHAMPIONSHIP (in 2019) But no, seriously, how legit would that squad be in 2018?!

The way I look at it is that so many of the guys we're thinking of (the fans and the team) have some fairly serious question marks. Give me an extra pick and I'm gonna feel a lot better about taking someone like McDowell/Cook, reaching on a Davis/Harris/Peppers, or whatever.

I believe we get a slight chance of a steal but have a majority situation of having to reach. I'd say it's 80/20 weighted at having to reach. Shame it looks like the Browns may move up from #12. Ideal dream scenario for me is them wanting moving back up at our first, giving us their two 2nds plus say a 4th for our #17 and a 6th. We'd be stacked rounds 2-4. Not happening though.
