Drafting at 6? A trade with Cincy makes sense

Atlanta did it last year. No one saw that coming.

It's hard to stop two good wr. If they really believe in dalton and they certainly seems to why not give him the best wr combo in the league.

Ya, but Id think atlanta would have something to say about that............

Since RG3 and Barkley are staying going after Mat Flynn is the only logical option. He is the real deal. I say give him a bundle of money, draft moore in the 3rd round and keep our top draft pick.

.RG3 has declared and Matt Flynn is the "real deal" with 130 career pass attempts? I just can't justify that or call it logical to give him a bundle of money. There are plenty of other options later in the draft plus bradford/clausen/mccoy..plenty of other logical options out there.

cincy is not trading up. not their style.

I tend to agree. Perhaps with the rookie cap they will change their style. But likely not.

With Mike Brown running the show, anything can be expected.

I've see enough of him to know he can play the game at a high level. Lets also not forget he won a national championship. I would feel more comfortable with him than the qbs you mentioned..mccoy and clausen? Really?

I think that the Redskins FO should go after a vet QB in free agency like Flynn and draft Blackmon. I think that the Redskins need more youth at WR...

They would have to trade up to get Blackmon, if the skins trade up and it's not for a QB there will be a lot of pissed and confused fans, but who knows what shanahan is thinking.

WRs are dime a dozen, and the best ones routinely watch the playoffs from home. The best QBs are in the playoffs every year. I hope they don't do that. There will be several WRs taken later and some not even drafted (Victor Cruz anyone?) that will turn out to be just as good or better than Blackmon. Every year there's a can't miss 6'1 guy like Blackmon. See Crabtree, see also Detroit Lions, see also Micheal Westbrook. We need size. Alshon Jeffery at 6'4 can be had later in the first.

Roethlisberger, Brady, Peyton Manning are in the playoffs every year, but the only one of the three that didn't play for a machine of an organization that could have kept on going without him is Manning (though I don't know if the Pats of the last two years could have survived another Brady injury). Meanwhile, Drew Brees, Philip Rivers, Tony Romo, and Eli Manning have all missed the playoffs in consecutive seasons recently, and while Aaron Rodgers is quickly reaching the first category, there was a 6-10 season in the not too distant past for the Packers. Matt Schaub has gotten the Texans to the playoffs just once.

The attribution mistake is that you're lumping the quarterbacks with entirely all the credit, and in the cases of the elite, perhaps they deserve that much credit, but great quarterbacks miss the playoffs every year. That's not supposed to make them less great. Joe Flacco makes the playoffs every year, that doesn't make Flacco a top level player. But if you're comparing him to Drew Brees, Flacco's team performs consistently better in the regular season and the playoffs.
