f*ck'm

Yep, just heard the same. Barkley's not coming out.

Well I don't think he was high on our radar to begin with, but it will impact the top of the draft for sure

Smoot just curious what would u give up for luck? If we had the chance with STL at number 1

I think that's a good decision by Matt Barkley, a bad outcome for the Redskins, but a good outcome for the chances of the Redskins getting Matt Barkley (obviously next year) if that makes any sense.

I still think RGIII opts to come out, but I think that if Griffin stays, Landry Jones probably swallows the bullet and comes out as a mid-to-late first round pick, because he'll be looking at an even tougher field next year.

Luck, Griffin, Foles, Jones, Cousins, Tannehill is still one of the best QB fields in memory, but its much more of a developmental class (like last year) w/o Barkley.

Only if they are on top of MS' draft board, then I am with you. Honestly, while we need help in other areas, we are in much better shape to bet the farm on a franchise QB coming out in the draft than in previous years.

Hypothetically speaking, let's say Barkley, Griffin III, and Jones all decides to stay. I realize you still have other QBs like Tannehill and Weeden, but do you draft a QB this season just to be drafting one? Or, do you will and deal your draft picks this year in hopes of landing a high draft pick next year - where you could possibly be a shoe in for someone like Griffin or Barkley?

I would love to wait to get someone next year like Barkley or RG3 since I think they are better players than anyone that would be below them in the draft this year that we could get. HOWEVER, you can't sit back another year and wait to get a QB next year. It would suppress the growth of the team significantly for another year and if we did well next year anyhow we would have a lower first round pick and half to give up A LOT to trade into the top 5 to draft one of those two.

Remember, by staying, Barkley could be in the same place Luck will be this year. #1, and that will cost a boat load to trade up for, so you really aren't helping yourself by playing the waiting game in that scenario.

Which sucks. We would have a much better shot at drafting either one this year, and give up a lot less too I would assume than by waiting and trading up next year. I can't believe he is going to stay after his two stud linemen said already they were going to declare.

What would we have? The 7th overall pick?

If the Rams had the top pick I actually wouldn't be totally surprised if they just took Kalil even though consensus is you've got to take Luck if you have the top pick in the draft. Still, the Rams have been very disappointed in Jason Smith

But if they did get the #1 pick, I'd actually be inclined to see what it would take to get Bradford. Because it would be less than it would take to get Luck I'd think
