Redskins Moving up?

I would love to see Jones x 2.

I agree on your first two points. But if they go for Edwards, it'll actually be 5 traded picks to get him: Two firsts this year (#'s 9 and 25), the first rounder we gave away to Denver next year (likely a top 15), this year's third, and next year's 4th. That's way too many, especially when the knock on Edwards is that he frequently drops catchable passes. A negative like that for a wide receiver should not get you top billing in the class of wideouts in any draft year, I don't care what anybody says.

I disagree on Mike Williams though. Word is, he could be tipping the scale at 245 pounds, has been away from the game too long, and isn't known for even 'good' speed, much less blazing speed. We've got plenty of possession receivers already and if they spend it on a wide receiver at all, the guy to root for is Troy Williamson, who's stock is apparently rising everyday -- and Williamson IS a speedster. Fastest in the draft is what I've heard. But we need a corner first and foremost, and Williamson will be long gone by pick #25. Wideouts in that part of the draft could include Mark Clayton of Oklahoma, or Roddy White of UAB.

It doesn't really matter, but it would not be 5 picks traded for him. You are counting the 25th this year and next years 1st. You counted the same pick twice. We traded next years 1 to get this years 25, so it's the same pick. If the skins trade #9 & 25 for edwards it would be 4 picks for 1.

Here's one for us all to debate: Last night's draft special on ESPN got me scared to death, because they treated us drafting Campbell as a foregone conclusion. It's no secret I don't like the guy's ability (or lack thereof), at least with regard to the Skins' offense. So, which of the two potential nightmares would you rather have?
1. Stay at 25 and draft Campbell; or
2. Package 9 and 25 to move up for whoever they want (e.g. Edwards/Williams or #1CB).

Right now, I'm leaning toward #2, and here's why. I regard picking Campbell as essentially getting nothing. Rather than potentially having to settle for our 2nd or 3rd choice at CB/WR and getting Campbell, I'd rather have our #1 choice at CB/WR and have nothing else. Of course I'd rather them just stay at 9 and 25 and go CB/WR or WR/CB, but if they are going to do one of the above stupid moves, I think the second is the lesser of the two evils.

Any thoughts/opinions?

Why in the hell are we thinking about drafting a quarterback? What happened to Patrick Ramsey?

that's an excellent question... i'd have to agree with you on going with the second option. Losing all those picks to get some guy at 25 is a real shot in the dark. at least packaging the picks for our top target is a better risk... it's like sitting at the poker table and going "all in"- if we're going to do something unconventional (like trading a potentially higher first round, a third, and a fourth) for one pick, i'd rather go all the way with it. at least if it's a bust, it's one that had a better shot at making it than some guy at 25.

If we draft Campbell with the #25 it will be like going all in with 2-7 unsuited!
