Holy smokes. Let the blockbuster deals begin.

If we trade Orakpo, do you believe we'll have any interest in Mario Williams? ..Would definitely hate to lose Orakpo man.

I asked Bill Polian about the three way trade involving the Rams, Colts, and Redskins and he said that does not make any sense. Ok so I called in to Sirius. With that said, he really did not understand the question when he answered(After I asked, they hung up on me). His comment was so the Redkins want Luck. it dosn't register with me. The way I see it is that would have to mean that Colts want RG3.

I mean, holy crap, we're not going to stop anybody all year if our second best defensive player is Josh Wilson. The Blache years will look very competent by comparison.

Well Mario Williams is a free agent...

Anyhow, nothing new to report. Hearing some absolutely ridiculous rumors though.

It is combine week.

[SmootSmack]

IF the Redskins do trade up for RG3, (Not Luck, but RG3,) it would admittedly go against much of what I've been hearing/concluding through my own sources for the past month. But....I've been wrong before

THANK YOU! Jackson is a PERFECT fit for OLB in a 3-4. IMO he can rush the passer every bit as good as Orakpo, if not better. White has the explosiveness to play that position. If we can move Orakpo to get into that 2nd position then by all means do it.

It's Luck.

How do you figure? Luck is going to get drafted by Indy. It's a lock.

[NYCskinfan82]

If We get Luck that means Indy probably gets RGIII & TW & St. Lou gets #6 & Orakpo, does that sound right SS.

Williams isn't going anywhere

I don't see how Orakpo to St Louis makes any sense. They have Quinn and Long there.

I can't believe speculation about trading up is already hot and heavy; but hey its combine time.

I understand that this franchise wants a franchise QB.
But I don't get the level of angst.
There are really only 4 QB 'needy' teams and outside of Miami I don't see how the other teams desire for a QB rivals ours.
The way I see it there are 4 teams with different levels of need for a franchise QB.
But there are 4 candidates:
o Manning who's actually a franchise QB
o Flynn, Griffin and Tannehill potential franchise QBs

o One of the 3 will end up with Manning
o Flynn and Miami seem destined for each other linking the Philbin the teacher with Flynn the star pupil
o Seattle doesn't seem desparate enough to leap frog to the 2nd spot
o Cleveland is very unlikely to trade up to spots

I don't see a problem.
We sit back and let the draft come to us.
I have full faith that come training camp we'll either have a franchise QB (Manning) or a potential franchise QB or both.

-Seahawks are very interested in a certain QB at #12....Osweiller

Wow, that's a surprising rumor.
Must come from Osweiller's camp, I can't imagine any team is looking at Osweiller anywhere near 12.

Possibly, but I don't see them moving Hall w/o a replacement in hand

Skins met with Osweiler last night, maybe Seattle is thinking of trading down for him?

Hearing it's really down to the Redskins or Dolphins. Browns not willing, for now, to move two 1sts
