Maske/JLC: Gibbs Hints Redskins Might Trade Up

Vinny says we'll trade down, Joe up! Who knows till draft day. No matter what, this will be the most exciting draft day since 2000.

I would love to have CJ & I know he's a Gibbs type receiver & person. I also fear the desmond howard jinx, but he definitely has a lot more going for him than Desmond did.

My main problems w/this are:
1) Can we pay Cooley what he's worth next offseason?
2) We'd have 4 wr's earning big checks & most of the O earning big $, but less $ to spend on the D. As it is we're going to have to hope that we find a stud or 2 in the late rounds of the draft & undrafted rooks.

I'm torn, I don't know what to think!

I'm pretty sure that following this team will lead to my early demise...lets just sit it out till Draft day and hope we don't blow this one

Well I stay by my position that IF Calvin johnson falls to 6 which I HIGHLY doubt I think the Skins should take him but besides that. Trade down. i don't see them moving up though.

Guys, I just heard Gibbs just hinted he and Pat might order Chinese food tonight. But they're also open to the possibility of going out for pizza. Any plans to go to Cold Stone Creamery after dinner are not imminent at this time.

I'll keep you posted

They're all a bunch of idiots! They should be going out for Italian Ice at Rita's in order to save a couple of dollars for tomorrow's dessert. Don't they know anything?

Where's Dmek? :)

CHINESE ???? What's he thinking ? Does he know the carb count on that stuff ? CHRIST !!!! Joe Gibbs has really lost it, he needs to go back to NASCAR and worry about his cars !

For the life of me I just don't understand why people are so against this. HE IS THE BEST PLAYER IN THE DRAFT. I get so tired of people saying we don't need wr's. DID ANYONE WATCH ANY GAMES LAST YEAR????????????? Outside of Santana which WR on our roster has done anything?

When you go 5-11 there is PLENTY of blame to go around. Not just on defense but on offense too. We hopefully solved the problem at QB, LB and DB's. Yes we need DE, DT but do any of you think that maybe alot of the players that are on the board are not that good?

I'll use this comparison one more time. Texans drafted for need and took Mario freaking Williams who didn't do shit. I bet if the Texans had a chance to do it all over again they would take Bush cause he was the best player on in the 06 draft.

We drafted for need a few years ago when Smoot left and took Carlos R. How in the hell did our scouting dept. grade Carlos higher than Merriman or D. Ware?

Calvin J. is simply put a freak. He's going to make any offense better the minute he walks on the field. He's going to do things that will NEVER EVER show up in the stat sheet. Can any of you imagine the PI's this guy will draw? Plus defenses are going to have to slide coverages to his side of the field which could open up all kinds of room for Santana and Cooley. Plus saftey's will never come near the LOS like they did last year when Brunell was QB. Opens up the running game so that helps Portis and Betts.

I hope we package Lloyd and move up and take this guy!!!!!!!

I heard that they are considering trading up to take a salad in round 1, a sirloin in round 2, and perhaps a late round Irish coffee.

I think at this point anything is possible. A trade up, a trade down, staying put, who really knows what the Skins are thinking. I'm sure they are considering every possibility.


To be honest, I really do enjoy the suspence as it's a change from the ordinary. In previous years we would let the whole world know our plan in advance with nothing left to ponder. At least this way, any team with trade aspirations with the Redskins will have to wade through several different possibilities, trading either up or down for the purpose of consumating the best possible deal for all parties involved.
