RUMOR: Skins looking to trade up for C.J.

its looking more and more like if C.J. is still on the board at #2 the skins will make a trade with Detroit. Detroit doesn't need a WR (nor do the Skins) and a 1st rounder this year and a 1st rounder next year plus a couple of players. C.J. will be a star in this league for years to come. The guy is naturally talented. If the Skins do find a way to get him i willing to bet he would push Moss to No. 2 right away.

Make NO mistake about it, I want to buy the VIPER.......................BAD. However, the SUV will far better serve our needs, and lead to better results

on the value chart the #2 pick is 2600 points, and #6 is 1600 points. by that chart, if we gave up a future first, we would be getting ripped off if we had the 14th or higher pick next year, 15th would be even, and 16th and lower would be a steal for us.

Jank, I wouldn't hold my breath on this one.

Yea this guy has serious upside ....no doubt. But were not trading up.

And SM #2 right away? Are you kiddin?

If Gibbs believes that we will be good this year, he may be thinking that giving up next years number one pick to move up would be worth it. I do agree with ThatGuy in that you can't cover both CJ and Moss. Our offense would really be set for a long time.

Bunch of well thought out posts on this thread so far. This is why I come here.

But even if we were to add Calvin Johnson to the roster, his biggest asset would be blocking for portis on outside runs. After all, BOTH Cooley and Moss are more dangerous than Johnson with the ball in their hands. Moss is lightning quick and Cooley runs with a bunch of power and balance.

What do we know about CJ after the catch? Not very much, that's what.

I would much rather see the ball in the hands of Moss and Cooley, and being run by Portis and Betts than going downfield with a 28% of completion to Calvin Johnson.

Because damn if it's unsucccessful and we have to punt...we are never going to catch the other team in score with our defense.

Did you see this guy play??????????????????? The last thing I would worry about is CJ after the catch. Trust me. Guy played w/ a terrible college QB and still was a beast. Cooley is a nice TE but he can't run like this guy. Not even close. Just his size, jumping ability and physicality alone will cause all kinds of problems in the red zone where we seem to stuggle.

I would LOVE to see Moss and CJ as our starting WR's w/ ARE as a 3rd wideout and Cooley at TE. Plus Portis and Betts as RB's?? We would have an unstopable offense. I hope like hell we get this guy cause he is the best player in the draft.

yeah, well, i really don't think we're moving up and i don't think it'd be a good idea anyways. if he falls though i'd at least consider him, but i know our DL is in a bad way right now.

I don't think were moving up either. At least I hope not!
The last thing we need to do is start giving next years picks away? Haven't we learned anything?
Move DOWN get more draft picks.......get the defensive help we NEED!
Not to say this kid won't be good or better? Who knows....he hasn't played at this level. We NEED to adress our NEEDS, and stop throwing away draft picks, they are way to valuable!

Well, Michael Smith on NFL Live just said the Redskins were the best fit for Johnson, so it must be so.

As much as I'd rather trade down to get more picks, and get a good DT, I'd love to see an offense with Moss, Johnson, ARE, Cooley, and Portis.

Do we really need more weapons on offense though?

I'd really hate to see us trade up.

Just because "another" reporter like Michael Smith says the SKINS are the BEST fit.....it must be so?

These are just reporters like the ones at PFT, etc., just an opinion.
I'd like to see us get a great potential WR, but I think our NEEDS are very different. I quess we'll know more next month......after about 5 thousand different reporters give us 5 thousand different reports of who we will be drafting.
