ESPN: Chat about the NFL draft! - SportsNation (http://proxy.espn.go.com/chat/chatESPN?event_id=26137)
I'll just post the Redskins related stuff:
Ryan (Fairfax, VA): Hey Matt. I keep hearing the Redskins need for an O Lineman but with such a deep OLine class don't you think they should get a DE to flank Haynesworth and an OLineman in later rounds?
http://a.espncdn.com/i/sn2.gif Matt Mosley: (10:15 AM ET ) This team has neglected interior linemen in the draft for years. I think they need to be patient at 13 and see who's there. I actually think it's a good place to be. There's always a chance someone like Andre Smith or Mike Oher is sitting there. And you could also hope for Brian Orakpo or even Ayers from Tennessee. But I agree that if you're going to guarantee Haynesworth $41 mil, it makes sense to surround him at least one or two talented (young) defensive ends. Right now it's Andre Carter and some geezers.
Sanjay (Da Iladel, PA): Considering the Skins signed Haynesworth to compete right now, won't drafting a guy like Sanchez, who is clearly not ready to start immediately with his limited college experience, set the Redskins playoff chances back a couple years? I think it would be difficult to keep Campbell as a starter with one year left on his contract and Sanchez as a backup.
http://a.espncdn.com/i/sn2.gif Matt Mosley: (10:18 AM ET ) Franchise quarterbacks are hard to come by. If the 'Skins have truly fallen in love with Sanchez (and I'm not convinced they have), then you don't have a bunch of "win now" discussions. Did anyone think the Falcons would "win now" after drafting Ryan. I think you'd bring the kid in and let him compete with Campbell. If Campbell wins, that might actually be a positive thing.
vic (dc) [via mobile]: do u think the redskins will move up to get sanchez? or do they hope for maybin or orakpo to drop
http://a.espncdn.com/i/sn2.gif Matt Mosley: (10:45 AM ET ) 'Skins are privately saying it's not going to happen. But I don't believe anything right now. Not even my wife. Kidding.
Jared, baltimore: Matt, love your staff dude, keep up the good work... whats this I hear about the skinz trading JC17 to the Jets now??? Obviously it'd be to grab Sanchez, but we'd pretty much have to throw him in the fire w/ somewhat of a suspect line. Smart or Dan Snyder-ish stupid???
http://a.espncdn.com/i/sn2.gif Matt Mosley: (10:48 AM ET ) I think you're hearing a lot of crazy stuff right now. But Campbell was indeed Joe Gibbs' guy. Dan Snyder's and Co. aren't sold on the guy. So yes, they're listening to offers. But they'd like to land at least a second-rounder for him. Most teams aren't willing to do that.
Brandon (Bellevue, WA): Smoke screens abound but do you see any fire surrounding the recent chatter concerning the Redskins trade for Seattle's 4th and then moving Cambell to a team like the Vikings, the Jets, or the Bucs?
http://a.espncdn.com/i/sn2.gif Matt Williamson: (11:44 AM ET ) That makes a lot of sense to me actually. If I were NYJ, I would be very interested in Campbell at a somewhat reduced rate. Same with the Vikes for sure. Moving up to #4 is surely a Skins kinda thing to do. Just ignore those line issues and go get a big name!
Doug (LA): Mike, I was hearing some rumors - what are the odds that the Rams, draft Sanchez only to facilitate a trade to another team (ie. Washington, Denver, Jets) for more picks?
http://a.espncdn.com/i/sn2.gif Mike Sando: (12:09 PM ET ) It's amazing to me how much Mark Sanchez chatter there has been in the couple weeks leading up to the draft. I think there's a lot of smoke. The risk in drafting a player for the purposes of trading the player comes in whether or not you can actually get the desired value in return. If you cannot, then you're stuck with a player you already tried to trade.
James (D.C.): Will the redskins trade up, trade down, or stay where their at???
http://a.espncdn.com/i/sn2.gif Paul Kuharsky: (2:59 PM ET ) Lots of indications now they are looking to move up for Sanchez.
