Maske/JLC: Gibbs Hints Redskins Might Trade Up

[over the mountain]

while i really dont take what coach gibbs says at face value (kinda sucks) i do believe from what he said that the skins are 100% positive that there is not a premier DL player available in this years draft to warrant a no. 6 selection . . .the obvious choice is to trade down and still get okoye or anderson but the door is open to a reasonable trade up and add the best player in the draft and a potential HOF wr in calvin (the only player the skins seem to think is special, cant pass up) given that oakland is not drooling over calvin w/ the first pick it makes it a consideration. . . that said wr is not the most important position on the field and we got alot invested there already, build the D line but i didnt get to meet and watch calvin in person thoo, the league is due a new explosive right out of the gate awesome reciever and if he lives up to it it would be worth it in hindsight . .

I wish we were much smarter last off season which would make going after CJ a no brainer, I believe that CJ is worth going after regardless of the cost he's that good. I would like to keep next years picks intact if at all possible. If we can't get him then I say start trading down when we are on the clock, I would trade down at least twice there are a lot of LB's, CB, and safeties that will be available in the late first and second round, I would probably target them with hopefully a couple of second rounders we get from trading down, and use our #1 on a offensive guard, I feel it is more important to protect Campbell, and open holes for the running game, than it is to draft a lineman, with this scenerio we can get at least 3 very good players to address a lot of needs, instead of 1 D-lineman. Then we have next years draft intact to go after D-line help. I can't say I disagree with thier assesment on the D-linemen this year, I could see potential bust in almost everyone of them. CJ guaranteed star.

This may be a year we have to tighten our belts with D-linemen and make do with what we have, a healthy Salavea, along with Griffen, and Golston to give them both rest isn't bad, the rest will have to step up. Adding a bonified safety to pair with Taylor and another CB could go a long way into giving the D-line a little extra time to get to the QB.

We are going to have to tighten our belts with the DLine even if we go there in the draft. I'm just saying we should get a DLineman right now so that three years down the road we can actually have a dominant player, and aren't still tightening our belts as we wait for our then rookie to develop.

Trading down could allow for all to take place, I like the kid Moss out of florida, I think he may be the most instinctive pass rusher but he needs to get bigger, he reminds me of Charles Haley, 2 to 3 years down the road he could be the best pass rusher of the bunch.

Uh oh. I've been saying I like Moss too. We agree! So...you see any locusts swarming around outside your house?

J-Moss is a stud. He's also a good 2 years away from being an impact player. I live in Gainesville. Eric Wilbur, the Gator punter and Jarvis' roommate for the past few years, is a good friend of mine. I've spent plenty of time around Jarvis. Trust me, Jarvis is NOT as big as he's listed. Don't get me wrong, the kid is a freak athlete. But he needs to gain 15-20 lbs of muscle and not lose a step to be a force. He's only about 250lbs right now. He's fast, sure (was the anchor on his high school's 4 X 100 relay team), but a decent NFL tackle could drive him 15 yards down the field on a running play with ease. We already have an end like that. I believe his nickname last year was "Highway 99." Two words: Amobi Okoye. A hybrid DE/DT with a ton of character (Gibbs prob drooling over that) and HUGE upside based on 4 years of college ball despite only being 19. I guess that's more than two words, but there it is.

Let me ask you this. Am I getting another Andre Carter if I'm asking for Jarvis Moss?

Sounds about right, but I am not sold on Amobi the guy is only 6'1.
