Buddha Posted April 20, 2002 Share Posted April 20, 2002 The draft is less than 1 1/2 hrs away and the Buddha's Nostradamus-like prognosticating powers are predicting a trade-up for Donte Stallworth. I've been staring at the prospect lists for several days now, and that is the name that keeps leaping out at me. I had the same sense last year about Fred Smoot (although I thought we'd take him in the 1st). Look for a trade-up to somewhere around #10, with the Skins giving up this year's first rounder and next and possibly netting a 3rd rounder in the process. You heard it here first. Donte Stallworth will be a Washington Redskin in a few short hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen-like Todd Posted April 20, 2002 Share Posted April 20, 2002 I hear you man, I had the same thought yesterday. However, I'm now thinking that the trade-down would be the right thing to do, so I never mentioned it. We shall see, but its not sooo far fetched.

bgordon Posted April 20, 2002 Share Posted April 20, 2002 I could live with that. Do you think Spurrier would trade up to get a Tennesse WR, when he could stand pat and draft Gaffney? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddha Posted April 20, 2002 Author Share Posted April 20, 2002 Snyder definitely wants to arm his new offensive genius with the best weapons possible. But it will likely be Snyder doing the arming-- and checking/balancing Spurrier's taste for Florida receivers a notch or two below Stallworth talent-wise. Keep in mind who Snyder wanted last year instead of Rod Gardner-- Santana Moss, a tremendous deep threat with speed to spare. Stallworth has similar credentials but is much BIGGER with an arguably more potential. Spurrier would be hard pressed to argue with the choice if it is a reasonable option.

All In Posted April 20, 2002 Share Posted April 20, 2002 If we weren't targeting Harrington, don't you think we would of made the trade to get Matthews? I'll put my money on Harrington. We've heard the talk about Spurrier praising him and the skins wanting to move up to take him. I don't want to overpay to get him. He may fall to us, someone else may want him and if he is TRULY our guy, then go ahead and get him. There are tons of WRs in this draft, no need to trade up.

Buddha Posted April 20, 2002 Author Share Posted April 20, 2002 Just saw a blurb from Chris Mortensen saying the Lions are all but a lock to take Harrington at #3. And the Skins are probably trying to force the Bears' hand to see if they cut Matthews outright. At the very least, they could deal them a 2003 pick after the draft. Oh, and by the way, the Skins are also going to take Nick Rolovich in the 5th. Prognosticating powers are telling me the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sag Posted April 20, 2002 Share Posted April 20, 2002 Actually Buddha, I read this scenario yesterday in the PFW mock draft. They have us trading up with the Colts and taking Stallworth at #11. Not sure if I would do that though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All In Posted April 20, 2002 Share Posted April 20, 2002 So IF we trade up to get Stallworth, would we be happy with this move? IS Stallworth Spurrier's guy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skins57 Posted April 20, 2002 Share Posted April 20, 2002 I would not like to see us trade up at all(maybe for HArrington) but if not him I say trade down and get more picks, I know it isn't flashy but is the right thing to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have us trading up with the Colts and taking Stallworth at #11. That's cool. Then you heard it here SECOND! They just said on ESPN that it's the Ballcoach's birthday today. I suppose that rules out drafting defense on Day 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted April 20, 2002 Share Posted April 20, 2002 Well, for the first time I'm now convinced we will do something. ESPN has a body in our war room. Spurrier is talking about "impact" players to take that can make an immediate impact for us making interceptions or touchdowns. We're going to do something. My heart hopes that something is downward, but, damn, I think it might be up and, I think it might be Williams if Jammer gets past San Diego at No. 5.

fuji869 Posted April 20, 2002 Share Posted April 20, 2002 How many WRs are we going to have in 2002? :?: I heard that the Spurrier is talking to the "Posse" about coming out of retirement along with Sammy Baugh to throw the ball to them. :rofl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
