With the 5th pick in the draft the Washington Redskins select...

I want Dante Fowler. If he's gone and we get Beasley I'll be happy too, but Fowler would pump me up sky high. One of those two and a good O-Lineman in the second, maybe another in the 3rd or beyond, and a FS in the 3rd or 4th. Pick up a third down back, WR, or TE that can catch and block...I'm good to go baby! Staying along the lines of BPA of course. But I certainly think it's possible. At least in my head.

Murphy's not going anywhere. He's a good young LB.

I wouldn't be surprised if we trade the pick (granted someone is willing) I think giving RGIII the 5th year option raises the cap next year and picking someone in the teens is cheaper than #5.

if Fowler is the pick what happens to Trent Murphy ?

We need him. Depth is so important, having a rotation and keeping pass rushers fresh is important and injures are a reality in the NFL. We need three great OLB's, that is why getting Fowler or Beasley (if Williams is gone) is huge.

RGIII getting $16M is NOT done deal. He has to earn it. Not based on potential.

I know that, what happens if he reverts to 2012? No one knows, just have to plan ahead. You also have Williams and Kerrigan's contract coming up.

Dianna also said that if Fowler isn't there at #5, then the Skins would prefer to trade down and take an offensive lineman.

BTW, you can be sure that Scot M. is pissed off that somebody leaked that information to the press. Who is the big mouth at Redskins Park?

This is a deliberate leak in order to advertise to the other teams we are open to trades. This is similar to posting a for sale sign in the front yard. The more offers the better. It does not mean we will do anything (up or down). Trying to get a bidding war started is smart.
I still think Williams, Fowler or Beasley will be there and you take one. Trading down dilutes the talent pool too much. As has been widely reported there are only 6 to 8 blue chip prospects. Trading down from 5 has to be a big offer.

surprised so many people want a defensive player. are we all forgetting how putrid our line was last year? or the last couple of years for that matter

Well the best players at #5 are all defensive players (well except A. Cooper and K. White). If the Redskins trade back, they will likely draft a lineman, there are very good options in the middle of the first round.

With Orakpo gone and Hatcher's age, it is very hard to pass on a talented edge rusher (Fowler, Beasley, etc., etc.) or a d-lineman (L. Williams).

DOn't care who we pick, I just hope this guy blows his future on MM.....lol
