How far does Aaron Curry have to fall before you would trade up for him?

Washington is not coming back. I'd bet anything on it.

Why not? No other teams have really showed any interest. If he's only gonna fetch the vet min, why not do it where he's been the last 5+ years? At this stage in his career, to have to relocate and start over in a new system for a minimum deal isn't exactly a desirable situation.

If it gets close to camp and MW's phone has still not rang from another team offering more than the vet min, I think there' a good chance he could be back with the Skins.

It will all depend really on who we draft, if we take a linebacker (particularly early) then it's unlikely they'll bring MW back.

If he falls to 8 or 9 I can see us going up to get him.

I hope you're right about that BHA. Where did you see this? C'mon man, don't leave me hanging

I dont remember exactly... it was a small blurb in an article from Extremeskins.com/Breaking News that was talking about our draft options.

More or less, it said that, after not getting any significant bites elsewhere, Washington was open to coming back for the Vet minimum but the Skins weren't wanting to make any decision until after the draft. (Obviously, if we draft Orakpo or one of the USC linebackers, then we would have no reason to resign him.)

Shortly after Daniels and Wynn resigned here, I remember reading that Daniels had been talking to Washington about swallowing his pride and coming back. My guess is reality finally sunk in and Washington realized that at this point, Washington realizes that he's not going to get a better offer elsewhere. If he signs a 1 year vet minimum year here and can stay healthy, he'll greatly benefit from playing on a team that actually has a pass-rush up front now. Washington is not that old really. If he stays healthy and produces in 2009, he'll get a better contract in 2010, especially if its uncapped.

I agree, if the Skins are going to move up it should be in the 8-10 range. The thing is, by the chart, you are talking about giving up pick #80 just to move that far (and at 10 maybe getting a late round pick back). I don't know what "young player" the Skins are going to dangle that would entice a team much (and not hurt the Redskins) and certainly don't see a player netting the Skins a move up and a 3rd or 4th. I guess the best case scenario would be Jax, GB, or SF seeing value in Golston and allowing the Skins to sub him for the 3rd (and maybe throw in a late pick) in order to move up. That seems kind of generous though. If someone would do #13, Golston, and maybe a 7th to move up I guess I could stomach it. Frankly, though, the only players I'd be happy to see the team move up for are Oher and Orakpo. Both might be worth the price to jump Buffalo. Of course, if the Skins start trading up with Jacksonville it is probably to get Sanchez because Seattle passed on him.

Yeah I said young player but honestly couldn't come up with one. My original plan was to put a name up there but I just couldn't think of someone that someone would give up a 3rd for that was worth about that. Kinda sucks but there aren't many players on our team that others would love to have.. and the ones we do have are worth more than a 3rd, that's for sure.

I definitely wouldn't give up a 1st and a 3rd just to move up 3 or 4 spots though, I can't see that type of value being given for it. Not to say it couldn't happen of course, I just wouldn't value it that way.

If it gets close to camp and MW's phone has still not rang from another team offering more than the vet min, I think there' a good chance he could be back with the Skins.

I agree. Even if we draft a LB they may still bring him back at the vet min for insurance.

As for Curry, pick him at 13th, not before, IMO.

From what I understood he had been offered the vet min. and has yet to reply. Either way he still has a lot to offer and I hope he re-signs. Thanks BHA.

I would not trade up for him because the Skins need draft picks badly - - to obtain players and not to spend on any kinds of "moving-up scenarios".

Having said that, I like Curry as a LB better than any of the USC guys or Sintim (UVA). I also like him much better than Orakpo. If he fell to #13, it would mean that the whole draft had come apart at the seams and I'd have to look at who all is still available. But Curry at #13 would be hard to pass by.

I agree wholeheartedly. I wouldn't want to give up that much to move up. Hold on to your hat if Sanchez is still there at #8 though.
