My Draft Trade Proposal with New England. Feedback Needed!!!

I heard that they are really high on darius butler the corner from UConn..why don't I give you all another scenario for this thread..a draft trade with Miami , maybe a way to get back our second rounder from a year ago

Yeah Butler and I think even Jenkins, but I don't know how much now with Springs and Bodden there

I think NE is doing a good job of throwing teams off of who they really want.

Smart.
maybe we should videotape their facial expressions at the pro day workouts.

:laughing2

I really don't want to give New England a chance to get a huge talent at pick 13. Just imagine Rey Maleuga and Mayo side by side for the next 10 years. That would be insane.

A maualuga and mayo duo would be tough.

I don't like it. This trade still leaves us with 2 picks in the top 3 rounds. If I trade down i want to add a 2nd or 3rd round pick depending on how far down we go.

Its better to have 2 picks in the first day, than to have a pick in the 1st and third like we have now.

I love the idea. Some will say that drafting Maualuga at 13th overall is a reach but, for a team like NE where their OL is pretty much set, there is greater value drafting such a talented LB. Versus our roster on the other hand, we should look to secure a 'top 5' (not all of the top ranked OTs fit our scheme) OT early. With Andre Smith's stock declining we may have to gamble drafting him with our first pick. If he's gone, we would possibly look to take top 5 talent DE Robert Ayers. I don't think the team would consider drafting Michael Crabtree if he's available. Malcolm Kelly and Crabtree are essentially the same... size, slow, hands, and hurt. This draft is plenty deep with capable LBs. Overrated Clay Matthews would be a dream come true at 34th overall but, I'm trying to be realistic here but Clint Sintim or Matthews should be available at the top of round 2. It may be more important what we do with our 5th round pick as supposed to the aquired 6th rounder (199th overall). I say draft a CB. How about Jackson State's Domonique Johnson.

1st round Andre Smith
2nd round Clay Matthews or Clint Sintim
5th round Domonique Johnson

-or-

1st round Robert Ayers
2nd round Jamon Meredith OT South Carolina
5th round Jason Williams Western Illinois

I don't agree. I think the #13 pick should be close to a slam dunk in terms of getting a player that can start imediately. If I am giving that up then I want to add a pick not just improve my 3rd rounder.

The trade they made last year was ideal because they added a pick. If the skins drop 10 places to around 23 they should be able to net a 2nd round pick and still keep their 3rd rounder.

..... Past the second or third round all you have left is practice squad fodder.[/QUOTE]

Without going through and reading all the posts to see if anyone has responded to this post of your's, let me remind you of just last years draft...

Copied from Wikepedia

Horton was drafted by the Washington Redskins in the seventh round (249th overall) of the 2008 NFL Draft. He officially signed a three-year, $1.191 million contract with the team on June 12, 2008. The contract included a $36,000 signing bonus.

Making his first NFL start for the Redskins in Week 2 against the Saints, Horton recovered a fumble and recorded two interceptions helping lead the team to a comeback victory. He was named NFC Defensive Player of the Week for his efforts against the Saints. In the week 4 game against the Dallas Cowboys, he recorded his third interception of the season. On October 2, he was named NFL Defensive Rookie of the Month. For week 4 he was named Diet Pepsi NFL Rookie of the Week. As a rookie, he finished third among rookies in interceptions behind the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Aqib Talib and Arizona Cardinals Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie.

Following the 2008 season, he was awarded $342,197 in additional pay from the NFL's performance-based pay system, which gives financial compensation based on a comparison of playing time to salary; this made him the third biggest beneficiary in 2008.[2]
