Thoughts on Potential Draft Trade With Cleveland!!!

i dont like this trade, but i think now is the perfect time to trade betts. his value right now will never be higher

dont want to trade betts. id assume this would only happen on draft day? because what if johnson is gone?

First of all we need him, so how could that possibly be the perfect time to trade him?

What do you have a magic ball....his value will "NEVER" be higher? That makes no sense.

All this crap is is a bunch of smoke and mirrors.

Could we replace Betts with Lloyd to make the deal happen?

Wouldn't 4 highly paid recievers be overkill especially when the defenisve line is of need of some help and the draft this year has a lot of DE's and DL's that could make an impact?

1) We just gave Betts an extension, and he is one of Gibbs' "core Redskins" and a "character guy." I don't think it would sit too well in the locker room if we shipped him off. We'd be trading a proven stud for potential talent. Not typical Skins behavior. Plus from what I understand Saunders/Gibbs are pretty set on the Betts/Portis combo, as they should be.

2) The combined contracts of Lloyd, Moss, ARE is $91M (potentially). So we're gonna have a #4 WR (Lloyd) with a $29M contract?

3) We've been involved in so much hearsay, at this point I think we're just lobbing rumors out there to keep other teams guessing. In the past the writing has been on the wall with the Skins: mortgage draft picks for overhyped free agents and pay them waaaay to much. It's different this year.

4) WE DESPERATELY NEED HELP ON THE D-LINE!! I know we'd get a 3rd round pick if this trade went through, and I know this is a deep draft for D-lineman, but the 1st rd/early 2nd is where all the talent is.

In summary, PLEASE NO!

Good post, I pretty much agree 100%.

If we could replace Betts with Lloyd, sign me on as a booster of this trade. Otherwise, forget it. We need D linemen!

I don't love the trade but I would do this before the Briggs trade.

Another thing- Cleveland desperately needs a QB. Derek Andersen and Charlie Frye are not gonna win them any significant football games. Romeo Crennell and Charlie Weis coached together in NE. You better believe they are targeting Brady Quinn. They are foolish if they don't. They could draft Adrian Peterson, but they did just get Jamal Lewis. If Cleveland is smart they keep that #3 and draft Quinn, then draft a RB in the 2nd round. Unless they think they can get Quinn at #6, but that's no guarantee by any means.
