Maybe not but it’s an interesting scenario and one I really haven’t given much thought to until now, it wouldn’t shock me I guess

Just heard Charles Davis mention it as a possibility on the Redskins Talk podcast

Hearing names like Hernandez, Guice, Jones, etc...to me these are the guys we will focus on if we trade back which the closer we get...imo if Minkah/Nelson/James/Barkley aint there, we do everything possible to move the hell back because Arizona, Baltimore, now even the Patriots are trying to move up.

I hear you but I don't have Jones in the same vein as Guice. It all depends on who falls because I could easily see Minkah or James there at 13 and if they are, we will take them

It would instantly help the run game, I do think they could trade back and get him but if they feel like he's the guy they may take him there.

I hear a lot of people talk about helping the run game and I am all for that but at some point you have to get a RB that isn't absolute dog piss

Yes to this.....
Sorry to sound like a broken record.
Fixing the lines is a foundation building block. Finish the foundation, then buy the Lambo (high end RB) to put in the garage. We do not have the garage or the roads to drive a Lambo on yet to keep it safe. It is the learning to walk before you learn to run thing.
Prioritizing the team roster building process has been a serious problem for our Front office.
After the top 4 guards there is a huge drop off in talent in this guard draft class. I heard multiple talent evaluators say it. There is no immediate starter - plug and play Guard projected to be there after the early part of round 2. This has to play into our decision.
For Allen, Gruden and Snyder this might not be a concern, they like shiny Lambo's. They can not help themselves.

Fitzpatrick or James is the dream scenario for me right now.
If they're both gone, trade back would be my hope.
If they're both gone and we stay...? Roquan Smith or Denzel Ward.

I'm going to be disappointed if all of those guys are gone. Pretty unlikely assuming 4 qbs go top 12.

Those 4 qbs plus Barkley, Chubb & Nelson are pretty much guaranteed. Just need two "other" picks to get one of those guys.

I could also live with Vea if we stay at 13.

Range in the defensive backfield changes everything. Remember when Taylor was at his peak? His range allowed Gregg to run those single high looks, and the corners could still play extremely aggressively because they knew Sean was back there. Even from single high he had their backs. It completely freed up Ryan Clark to roam and hit.

Minkah and James will permit the same thing. You could put them man to man against Ertz and wipe him out of the Eagles offense on a crucial 3rd and 6. Or you could put them back at safety and run corner blitzes.

They will change the way we can scheme and make everything more aggressive. It's an increasingly important position in the NFL.

I didn't want to mention the great Sean Taylor in a post about these players. Nevertheless, I agree with your points about them. Without comparing their potential to what he accomplished, it is indeed their range that excites me most about them because what I think they could do for our defense reminds me of what Sean Taylor did for our defense when he played.
