Lotus 01-25-2011, 04:10 PM No doubt. We need at least 2-3 more years of good drafting to compete. We're not winning the SB next year.
Tanking is a tough word, but yes, we need to get younger, and start drafting well. I doubt we'll be a top 5 pick next year though to have a shot at Luck.
To have a shot at Luck we likely will need to have the top overall choice, not just top-5, which means finishing 1-15, 2-14, or maybe 3-13. I'm not wishing for that.

What I meant to say was I don't think we'll get into the top 5. Then obviously we'd have no shot at Luck at #1. I just worded that badly.
MonkFan4Life 01-25-2011, 04:37 PM We won't get Luck because we'll be better next year. Get my a big tall WR like AJ Green or Julio Jones or if they see a QB, go get him. I don't care, I've been screaming that we need to go find our guy since I turned on Jason.
Go find a guy and let him play. Build the rest of your team while he grows. We can't be afraid to draft early. Drafting later does not make a guy any more guaranteed than one before him. There's a lot of luck in this game as well.
Scared money don't make money. Hey Smoot, any chance we take one of the WR's at 10 ?
freddyg12 01-25-2011, 05:44 PM I love Rock Charmichael, but what caught my attention about this article was that he picked Locker in 7 on 7 drills. Don't want to read too much into a simple practice pick, but the fact is a lot of people are watching.
Hokies Journal - For Rashad Carmichael, Senior Bowl is 'biggest job interview of my life' (http://voices.washingtonpost.com/hokies-journal/2011/01/for_rashad_carmichael_senior_b.html)
Son Of Man 01-25-2011, 05:53 PM With the #10 overall pick, I'm looking to take the best player. I'm not going to get suckered into just thinking "well, we need to build our OL so let's just take a lineman here even if he doesn't need to be drafted this high"
Let the choir sing!!!
Terpfan76 01-25-2011, 06:13 PM Everything I'd heard about Locker is...great athlete, will probably blow up at the combine, but simply not a skilled enough pure passer to cut it in the NFL. If he can't consistently shread Pac Ten defenses then I'm not sold that he can be good enough to be a passer in the NFL. Therefore I see no reason to take this guy in the first two rounds.
Let's also realize that this team isn't going to be competing for a Super Bowl for several more years, regardless who's playing QB.
To throw in the towel on Locker is a bit premature. True he hasn't looked very good in college especially considering one could easily say he regressed this past season. That being said, he has all the physical talent to play the position and shows the ability to play at a high level, but seems as though he needs more coaching and time to develop. If he were available when we pick in the second round, then I'd be fine with drafting him. It would be a good value pick considering how high people were on him last season.
As for shredding PAC10 defenses, look at the talent level that surrounded him. Not very good so it wouldn't be a stretch to assume that his play would suffer. It reminds me a bit of Archie Manning. He was a damn good qb, he just played for some terrible teams. Can't blame all of the success or failure on one man.
Terpfan76 01-25-2011, 06:24 PM I guess you think that Grosman will ride us to the Superbowl. Or Maybe Beck? Until we get a QB, we will be medicore at best. The only sure way to get a QB is to keep drafting high till you get one. You dont have a chance untill you have one, so why worry about other pieces untill you have one in place.
None of the guys in this years draft have "Franchise QB" written all over them. True, there are a couple guys that are probably first rounders, but none really stand out. Where it gets interesting is in the 2nd round and later where you'll run into guys like Devlin, Ponder, Daulton, and Stanzi etc...
To be honest, the more I see and hear about Devlin, the more I'm interested. I think I'd be much happier with him in rounds two or three vs Daulton or Ponder in either of those spots.

I'm not saying throw in the towel, I'd just pass on him if I were the Redskins cause there are so many other needs.

Honestly, I am. Cause it's probably the only way we're going to able to be good for a long time. The 2012 draft would be the one I'd be shooting for. Not just with Luck but high draft picks in every round after the 1st and then add free agents to build around Luck.
BuckSkin 01-25-2011, 10:02 PM I'm curious if the moderators started a new poll, on which position we should draft at #10, what the results would be. Seems to be a ground swell to draft a pass rushing end or OLB. There also seems to be another camp that is hell bent on a QB. Let the current QB post run it's course then let's see this one next.
