Gaines Adams: Dream Come True, being a REDSKIN

I have a question. If the Redskins trade down to say the 10 or 11th pick what can we get in return? I'm sure one fo these defensive players we like will be there around that pick.

wasnt dave butz 300lbs? it seemed like he played forever

Good memory Dmec

I remember this year's Super Bowl champs having a 245 lb guy (Mathis) on one end and a 268 lb guy (Freeney) on the other. That seemed to work out. Our 265 lb guy (Carter) and 290 lb guy (Daniels) didn't seem to benefit from the extra weight.

Sometimes looking at just the numbers isn't the best way to analyze effectiveness. Ask yourself if Greg Williams' scheme better utilizes quick, pass-rushing Ends or bigger, run-stopping Ends?

I don't know the answer to that, by the way.

Yes the Colts did get it done with some small ends. Heck the whole defense was small. And they had some serious problems stopping the run. But they somehow got it done when it mattered most. Sometimes it works.

However I don't think it will work here. Freeney and Mathis are better players than anyone we currently have at end. Those guys can get after the QB and we don't have anyone who can rush the passer on the level they do it at. Plus when Sanders came back it was like the Colts defense started playing at a much higher level.

But if our FO think Adams is the best player at the 6th pick then take him. We have to draft the best player and not draft for need.

Good memory DmecMaine South HS is where Hilary Clinton went.

Trading down requires a partner. To only trade down 4-5 picks I think we'd have to have someone extraordinary there. Someone like Calvin Johnson.

Quinn could fall there. That could be a chip for them

Very true.

Yeah, the Colts had a small front four and, except for the playoffs, got run on all season long.
