Yet Another QB Rumors Thread (Volume 9)

[SmootSmack]

We have a lot of different threads going on about our QB situation so I thought let's just start fresh.

Went ahead and locked a bunch of other QB threads just so we have a fresh place to discuss the latest QB rumors (until this thread gets too unwieldy as well)

Redskins Reportedly Hold Informal Talks With the Rams About 2nd Overall Pick - Hogs Haven

You've all seen this already. Here are a few more notes

-Dolphins and Rams and Dolphins and Browns reportedly spoke last night as well

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

-Redskins are not expected to attend David Garrard's workout for NFL teams on April 1

-More potentially major news coming soon...time to put those Orakpo jerseys back in the closet?

That is good news about Garrard. Good news with the Seahawks and Osweiler.

Can you speak more on the major news? Orakpo? Thats gotta have to do with the Rams...or Indy possibly? Any clues?

If Orakpo is traded, I wonder if will we make a run at Mario Williams or Stephen Tulloch

I really wouldnt be opposed to letting Rob Jackson get a serious shot at starter, he has played well when giving the opportunity. Let him and Markus White fight it out for Starter and Back up. We saw what happened when Perry Riley got an opportunity.

@PCinOz @LL56_HTTR @TKextremeskins lets all keep in mind this is only handshake deals at this point

According to one of the usual insiders, seems they have a "handshake" deal in place. Another one is wanting to confirm it before he really puts it out there.

LL ‏ @LL56_HTTR

make no mistake I wound LOVE to put it out there right now but I don't want to cause a stir for nothing. Will come out if accurrate and ready

Some people around here might be happy.

Let me try to get some more info first. It's kind of crazy right now. Couple of other "controversial" players being mentioned as well.

I'm looking forward to Volume 48 of QB Rumors (Draft Day) thread.

But for now this'll do. Nice crunchy nugget there at the bottom SS, hopefully it's something that'll work out in our favor. Handshake deals are a far cry from faxing the paperwork to the league office though.

If that means Davis or Williams plus Orakpo and the 6th pick. Im not sure if we should have any added picks as well.

Spot on, I hope its Davis and not Williams. Orakpo, Davis and # 6 is enough IMO, we are talking 4 spots here.

[celts32]

Lets get that 2nd pick! I will drive Orakpo or anyone else to the airport...

[Mahons21]

Ugh I got my orakpo jersey last year, knew I should have waited for Kerrigan

[SmootSmack]

Not Davis or Williams

NC Skins,

Since I didn't get to answer your question:

Don't quit your day job because you suck at mock drafting.

1) How would the Rams end up at #5 if they traded with the Browns at #4?

2) Kalil not in the top 4?....lol

3) Weeden at #6? Are you friends with Fred Davis and Trent Williams by chance? Smoke buddies perhaps?

1- for some reason I had a brain fart and thought the draft order was Colts, Rams, Vikes, Bucks, Browns, Skins. Thats how I got the Browns at #5. But I stand by who I think will get who
Colts-Luck- set in stone
Browns-RGIII- Browns are infatuated and want him
Vikes-Blackmon-Ponder needs help
Rams-Kalil-Bradford needs protection
Bucks-Claiborne-need secondary help
Skins-Weeden

I'm betting the Browns do whater it takes to get RGIII. Vikes need to give Ponder some offensive help. Rams need Kalil... didn't their LT retire? Bucks need Claiborne cause they will need to replace Rhonde Barber who supposedly retired or might come to the Skins.

#3- Weeden at #6? I'm not a fan of this either. I would prefer they trade back and get more picks and take Weeden late first early second round. So again why at #6 because I keep hearing that Miami is interested in Weeden also. Miami picks 2 spots after us and I could see them taking him if they really want him as a back up to replace Henne. I have also heard how last year MS was interested in one of the QB's and figured that our spot was too high to draft him so we traded out and figured to pick him up late first or second round where he was slated to go and someone else took him. Rumor is MS was not happy about missing out. Couple that with the rumor that Miami might be interested in Weeden, then I could see MS thinking screw it I'll take him so we don't lose him.

Keep in mind I'm still assuming the team is going out for a FA QB. I hope Flynn, but Manning if proven healthy and let go.

I made a Manning uniform swap and a redskins wallpaper on my picturepush account if anyone is interested. I can't show it here because I don't have enough posts.

I wouldn't add picks but thats what it will take. I'm presuming it's the jump to get to #2 and trade with the Rams. In order to have a better offer then the Browns we'll probably need to trade our first with them, possibly a 2nd this yr, a 1st next year and either a player or another pick next year. Putting Orakpo in the mix sweetens the pot cause I'm sure GW would love to have him in his 4-3 for which Orakpo was brought here for and he fits that system better then our 3-4 anyway. Not that he was bad our system.
