Can we please get some perspective on this whole thing? Here is what i think is going on. We don't want to stay at the 6th pick period. We haven't found anyone we like there. We like C.J. and he won't be there. So we discussed possibilities with teams because that is what you do. Gibbs has said he has discussed with three teams, two moving up, 1 moving down. They have also discussed the Briggs deal. What does all this tell you. NOTHING. Gibbs said he like a couple players high in the draft, not because he really does, but because he wants to leave the impression they don't just like C.J. He said he has offers so other teams will sweeten their offers. Although they actually offered the 6th for Briggs and the 31st, is it really a bad deal? You have to pay the 6th pick alot of money and he doesn't think anyone there is worth that money. So why not get a 26 year old proven commodity, at a position of weakness. Whether you like it or not, teams know to run to that side because our LB over there stinks, they don't run at Washington, and when Lavar was there they couldn't run there either. Our Dline is a year removed from being really good. At the 31st pick, we are saying we can get a DE in which the drop-off may not be that bad. Plus he will have something to prove.
In my opinion i like what they are doing.
I also like the trade we proposed, if we were to get anything less it would be bad. Would you Rather have Briggs AND Crowder or T. Tyler, or just Amobi.
On a side note, NO WAY IN THE WORLD BETTS IS TRADED, if there is one thing Gibbs loves, it is running the Football, and he knows what Portis and Betts can do togeather.
