What If?

Wow, if we had gotten Briggs, we would have been able to draft Branch.

oh no, thank you lord the draft is over.

we didnt need briggs anyway.i would mind faneca though.that would damn sure fill our o-lineman spot.

Apparently we would have drafted the LB from Penn State,

From JLC

- Had the Bears and Skins actually pulled that Briggs thing off, I think it may have come down to the LB from Penn State, Sears, the offensive lineman from Tennessee, Blalock, the Texas OL, or one of a few corners they liked a lot, including Charles Houston from Arkansas, for what it's worth Within Redskins Park, some people in the building really liked the Turk McBride D-Llineman who went in the second round, and they loved Eric Weddle, the do-everything, play-every-position-possible safety from Utah. I think the Chargers made a real stretch giving up as much as they did to get him, but he had a high-second round grade from some other teams too and one coach I spoke to last week compared him to a Matt Jones/Wes Welker type, only on defense. "There is no doubt you can get that kid on the football field for you right away. He's great on teams, he's coachable, he's a really good kid."

-- Have to wonder if there would have been have some push for Jarrett, the USC WR, at 31 had the Briggs trade gone down, as well?

Branch just wasn't on our radar.

i would have liked that move better then what the skins actually did

So we'd have gotten 2 defensive starters...1 a young pro bowler and the other filling our biggest need.

Hmm....now i am even more depressed about the draft!

I wouldn't be. We have a full draft next year as it stands now.

Yeah ok, glass half full? Maybe one quater full?

Hey guys, it's easy to second guess things now. I like what we did yesterday and I still think there is a chance we end up with briggs. We can use next years draft as a building block for our Dline and Oline. All in all, I'd say we did quite well the last 2 days. Don't be surpurised if the guy from Pitt. HB Blades is an wesome LB at the NFL level. The guy is always around the ball. He is a litttle small, but he has the best teacher (of small LB) in the game to help. The guy has a high motor and a chip on his shoulder considering he wasn't picked until late in the 6th.

Landry and Taylor as safeties for the next few years is also a blessing and should be a force to be reconed with. Look out fellas the skins are building something now.
