Is trading down worth giving up the chance to take a future Pro-Bowler

Okoye is still very much a project. I could see him sitting for much of the year, much like Rocky did this previous season and Campbell the season before.

Can Redskins fans accept that?

I dont't think GW starts Rookies unless he has no choice ir they really grasp the defense anyway. No matter who we draft, they may not start but will get thrown into the rotation. I do not believe that any rookie that is added will be the difference between the playoffs and another top 10 pick. So we may be waiting anyway.

I think Landry would be like Taylor, starting within a couple of weeks.

In your opinion do you think that we can afford to go with Landry and bypass getting another defensive lineman, which everyone claims that we need?

No. I think Landry is awesome (just like I think CJ is) but you build in the trenches. We need to strengthen that D-line. But when you talk about a guy like Okoye, or even Anderson or J. Moss I think you're looking at someone who probably won't be a major factor in 2007 (but could be for years to come). In the long run, that'll be more beneficial than Landry starting right away in 2007.

I just wonder if fans have the patience for that.

Can Redskins fans accept that?I personally could live with that. He's like any other rookie after all.

I don't neccessarily agree with this assessment. He's young, but he's got the college experience. If he is the prospect I think he is, why would he be any slower to develop than any other prospect?

The key to Okoye is that hes 19, but that he also is well versed in the college game. I think he's ready to go when called on. Just keep in mind, that like every other college draftable player, he starts as a rookie.

Most want to win now. We are on a 15 year drought minus 2 seasons. The way I look at it Ive alreay waited this long, whats another few years? Just entertain me in between.

I don't know whether the fans have the patience for this, but if Okoye makes the pro bowl in 2008, I think all will be forgiven. IMO, it doesn't matter who we take, we have to allow at least a year for development. That's why all the Rocky bust talk for not beating out Holdman is downright silly.

No matter who we draft, you won't hear anything from me about their bust potential during their rookie year. You have to see them in their second year before you can even begin to assess what you have in them.

if you can get 2 starters, as opposed to one pro bowler, then yes(its worth it) and gtripp, we usually agree, but brown really scares me as a player. way too inconsistant
