Boldin a Redskin?

My guess is that Zorn will say no because he wants Thomas and Kelly to have more time on the field, not less.

This, plus we have other needs that can be filled with the #13 pick.

WR is not a need at all for us. If the rookies step up as expected, we'll have 4 VERY capable receivers, aside from Cooley/Davis and Portis/Betts.

Anquan Bolden and Santana Moss are essentially the same type of reciever. Short pass= long run. The only real difference is the body type and the playmaking ability in the redzone. We would still need somebody to stretch the field and win "Jump Balls" much like Fitzgerald did for the Cards last season. I like Moss deep on occaision, but that is not his strength, though he can wheel a man up...quick.


I agree... and if we had two Santana Moss's I'd think we would have a much better WR crew. I'm not saying I want to pay the high price get Boldin, I don't think it is worth it, but I do believe that he would make the offense better if Moss stayed. Kelly or Thomas need to become that "jump ball" receiver for the redzone. If that happened, we would be set at the skill positions for a few years.

Trading for Boldin would be a top 5 stupid move of the Snyder era.

No thanks, how bout this for an idea, let's keep our draft picks and use them. Awww come on everybody's doing it..lol

Imagine if this was the offseason we had 10 picks like last year? He would send a 1st and 3rd for Boldin THEN do a 2nd and 5th for Edwards.. Lol, imagine the message boards then!

Out of curiousity, what are the top 5 currently in your opinion?

Essentially what I am saying is that whether we have Moss, Bolden, or both we would still have a need for another reciever that is more of a typical deep threat/ jump ball kind of guy.

With that being said, I do not think that it would be a wise decision to proposition any type of trade for Anquan Bolden whether it be Moss and a first rounder, or a first and a third, or whatever. I like Boldin alot, but we would not be adding much more with him offensively and we have other needs that need to be addressed more than the recieving corps.

I probably have more faith in our WR developing than most fans but I think in Thomas we have someone who is Boldin/Brandon Marshall-lite. He's got the size, hands and power to get good RAC, occasionally get down the field against one on one coverage and can get the extra few yards against a CB trying to tackle him one on one.

Kelly projects to be a Colston/Fitzgerald type at his peak. I'm not saying he will match their production, but similarities in tools and skills. Not blazing speed but good enough. The main attribute will be the ability to go up and get the ball where defenders can't reach. He's not going to outrun many people deep or run away from many people after he gets the ball, but if he's running a seam or fade route, just put it up there and let him climb the ladder for it against a CB or S.

We need to see what we have before we can say what we want.

Offensive line!!!!!!! Offensive line!!!!!!! Offensive line!!!!!!!!! We do need Boldin for sure, but what we really need is let's say it in unison an OFFENSIVE LINE!!!!!!! Can't give up our top picks anymore. Our two top picks are the ones that will be the only ones to make the team anyway probably.

Have to agree. OL!!

Here's a question for you...lets say due to the Bills unloading a OT...that they grab one in the draft and all top 4 OTs are gone...plus other top talent...would you then consider trading that top pick plus a conditional 3rd next year for Boldin?...I might, if we have the cap room...we'd then have to get a FA tackle or use the 3rd...then bring back M washington

As much as I want an OT like the rest of you...the only major factor is age...remember, these same guys were great a year ago...prior to the season it was considered the strength of the team...if we miss out on all top 4 OT's...and we have no other options...it may make sense to get a major playmaker with that pick...after all that is what first rounders are supposed to be used for...however...if we didn't get the crap scenario...I say stick to plan A (the draft)
