If everyone just agreed with me, the forum and the world for that matter would be a much better place. But signing Eddie Royal and VJax for example and Ben Grubbs now our WR position is a strength vs. a weakness, add that to a returning Cooley and Davis and our skill positions look like:

RB Helu/Royster/Hightower
WR VJax/Hankerson/Gaffney/Royal/Moss
TE Davis/Cooley

I would take that but a WR steal in the draft: Reuben Randle from LSU in the 3rd round.

No. Everyone must agree with me. Only then is it fun.

If Griffin had McNabb's career for the Redskins:

1) he would never be unconditionally loved by Washington fans, despite being the best quarterback picked by the team since 1950.

2) Luck would probably have a much better career

With the hype meter where it is on Griffin, he actually has to have a much better career than McNabb did to meet those expectations.

Ok so you know how everyone starts off with "my inside source".... well I'm starting off with "my outside source" not sure where they heard if from possibly the radio but ....

The Skins have a package deal they will offer the Rams. If the Rams do not except it then thats it. Apparently MS is sticking by the we are not going over board to get RGIII, but they are interested. They supposedly do not want to hinder what this team can do in the draft. Again... out side source.

If the Rams don't take the offer then the back up plan is to try heavily to sign PM and draft Tannehill or Weeden. Again my outside source could be a moron. But the way he presented it sounded like it was somewhat legit. Perhaps it was on the radio and I missed it or somewhere.

Another part of it is they are going to let Lickenstieger (sp) go because they are going to get the Saints OL who is a FA. I think he is a Left Guard. They are also interested in picking up the ??? RT from Baltimore? if I'm correct. He is supposed to be a FA. Then of course they will be looking at WR also.

Again I'm not saying it's 100% true, just putting it out there in case others heard the same thing to verify it. In the end I'd be happy with this way of thinking.

Ben Grubbs is the Ravens o-linemen, he's also a guard like Carl Nicks.

[Hog1]

Soooo.......this is a lock...right?

[SBXVII]

Oh and so thinking does not go ary the "hinder what we do in the draft" part is they don't want to mortgage the teams future. Maybe it is the 2012: 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, 2013:1st. IDK, but they supposedly have a package ready to offer and will not offer anything more. I think the Rams obviously will want to play us against the Browns and from what I was told MS will not barter. The offer will be made and if it's not good enough then on to plan B.

If your refering to me anything can happen. I'm just passing on rumor that my friend heard. call it what it is BS. I was just trying to see if anyone else had heard the same thing, but it does sound logical and what the Skins would do.

[Swarley]

That actually sounds very likely and very much like a Shanallen sort of move.

[Hog1]

Got it...

[SBXVII]

Also a part of the rumor was there was a hand shake deal with the Saints OL. Thats when I mentioned Tampering but supposedly it's in place.

Pretty much what's been said here by certain people in the know. Is your source The Warpath?

[SBXVII]

No. Actually I've tried to get my source to come here but he doesn't for what ever reason. Again he's no one in the know. He's not a cousin of a cousin etc. etc. and your right pretty much what's been said here. Other then the hand shake deal with the Saints OL everything has been said here. To include the Baltimore player. I'm just hoping the package is not what has been projected and me personally I hope the Rams balk. But thats just me.

So then he is not a source just a fan who is speculating which would be everyone here sans SS.

[MTK]

Nicks from the Saints doesn't seem like he'd be a great fit in the ZBS but what do I know. He's more of a road grader type, but he does move well for a big guy. Shanahan has never been one to spend big on the interior either. That's the one rumor I would definitely question.
