Your Opinion on this Draft Scenario...

What would be your choice if the draft turns out like this
1. Raiders- Jamarcus Russell
2. Lions- Brady Quinn
3. Browns- Joe Thomas
4. Buccaneers- Calvin Johnson
5. Cardinals- Gaines Adam
6. Redskins- ?????????
Okay here's the options
1. Amobi Okoye
2. Alan Branch
3. Jamal Anderson
4. Laron Landry
Now there are some trade offers too...
1. Atlanta- 8th and 75th overall for the 6th (ATL takes Landry)
2. Buffalo- 12th overall and 43 overall for the 6th and 143rd overall
or 12, 74th, 92nd and 184th overall for 6th overall (BUF takes Peterson)I like the Atlanta trade, and we should even be able to get one of their two second rounders as opposed to their third if we negotiate it well, but I can't in good faith expect them to go Landry with Okoye still there. In your scenario, you assume they are going with Landry, in which case I would trade down and get Okoye.

However, if I was the GM, I would just make the Okoye selection at 6. I wouldn't risk trading spots with his college coach and ending up stuck at 8 and being forced to trade down again.

If we are going to pass on Okoye, I would want to trade down into the bottom half of the round and try to get Branch, Justin Harrell, or even Carriker if he falls there. It's tough to expect teams more than 10 picks below you to come up with enough value to warrent a trade up. I don't see it happening.

So I'd just grab Okoye at 6, unless I thought that Atlanta was going with Landry regardless.

Thanks SC Skins. So we could do something like this?

Possible Draft:

Round 1 (12th): DE Jarvis Moss (he's my flavor of the week, probably won't go that high though)

Round 3 (74th): OG Josh Beekman

Round 3 (92nd): DT (don't know who)

Round 5 (133rd-our own pick): DB CJ Gaddis?

Round 6 (166th-our own pick): ILB Nate Harris

Round 6 (184th): SS (don't know who)

Round 6 (189th-from Bears): TE (some big blocker dude)

Round 7 (our own pick): WR Keeley HazellMatt Speath of Minnesota is probably the best blocking TE to come out since Jason Peters of Arkansas.

Yes, that's the same Jason Peters that became a future pro bowl LT in Buffalo.

Speath is exactly what we are looking for. It may take some luck to have him fall all the way to us in the 5th, but he's the kind of guy I would be willing to trade up into the 4th for. He's a great run blocker and a great pass blocker. He's slow, but he still runs decent routes and can catch the ball, so having him on the field is not a liability. If we got Okoye and him in the same draft, I just...I just might take a week off from posting.

Certainly he would boost the running game more than Calvin Johnson would, and we wouldn't have to keep Cooley in on passing plays anymore. We could put Cooley in the slot and let him run a quick in route or something on 3rd down.

I'm sure we know a little bit about him already from going over film of Montgomery from last year.

The trade with Buffalo would be great. I figure out of 8 picks we should be able to get 2 that contribute in their rookie season. Also, I'd like to get Carricker, but 12 is a bit of a reach.

Why does every think that Carriker is a reach at 12 or that he might fall to the end of the first round? He very well won't make it past San Francisco at #11 as he is one of the few DEs in this draft who is big enough to play end in a 3-4 scheme. If the Skins could fall to 12 and have a shot at any of the top DLmen who might fall there (Carriker, Okoye, Branch being the most likely...with Kirwan's latest mock having Branch still available there) that would be pretty sweet, especially if it also got us a high second or two thirds. Hopefully the Bills would be interested in making such a move to get Peterson (probably) as that is the first sensible trade I've heard yet. Not sure it is really all that great for Buffalo, though, so maybe it won't go down or maybe it would end up being like the 12th, a 3rd, and the 2008 3rd round pick they got from BMore in the McGahee trade.

Even so, I think we'd be better off taking one of the big 3 DTs if we trade down. Carriker's good, but players of his mold can be found in the 2nd and 3rd rounds. He's not a can't miss prospect.

I want Jarvis Moss, Justin Harrell, Josh Beekman, and Chris Houston. Make it work

I think we could trade with Atlanta to get the 8 spot, still get Okoye, and grab an extra draft pick in the process. They want Laron Landry. And they can have him for sure if they snag the 6 spot. The question is, will they be willing to do it? A lot of people seem to think Landry will be there at 8. If we can't find any trade partners for the 6th pick, either take the flavor of the week (to quote SmootSmack) D-lineman, or pull a draft-and-trade deal with a team below us who wants someone we can snag....

I like the last option with Buffalo... It seems like it's been a while since our Redskins made a deal to acquire picks:)
I personally would trade with the Patriots (they want Landry) give them our 6th selection in the first round. For both of their late first round selections (24 and 26 I think)...
Jared Allen DE Kansas City could be traded for... give the Chefs our latest first round and a 3rd round pick from next year...
Then take Carriker or Branch (which ever is available with the earliest 1st round selectin from New England)...
To me... This bolsters up our MAIN WEAKNESS... Def. Line "Lets put pressure on the QB and stop the run!!! Just like the glory days...

If we stay at 6 I think we should really pick Anderson or Adams. However, it wouldn't surprise me if the selection would go on Landry too.
The Buffalo scenario is the most beautiful for us, at least we get another day one pick...

By staying at 6 I want Gaines Adams or Jamaal Anderson, possibly Okoye. I dont want Alan Branch, he takes to many plays off.
