How far does Aaron Curry have to fall before you would trade up for him?

If he came down to around 10th I'd contemplate it. Move up by trading our first and maybe a young guy we have, take their 10th-ish and maybe pick up a late 3rd or somewhere in the 4th

He's not falling past 5 at the very worst. I'd be shocked if he doesn't go top 3.

Good question GT in these pre draft days. I say only if he's there at 13. As others have said, too many holes to fill to spend extra picks.

On nfl network they talked about the system he played in at Wake. He wasn't asked to blitz much but that doesn't mean he can't. He is a disciplined player, someone Blache would love to coach. Seems the guy has no weaknesses in his game & could play any LB position if he had to.

He's kind of the anit-Lavar IMO, great athletic ability but disciplined & cerebral in his approach. (No attempt here to hijack this into a lavar debate!)

I agree, if the Skins are going to move up it should be in the 8-10 range. The thing is, by the chart, you are talking about giving up pick #80 just to move that far (and at 10 maybe getting a late round pick back). I don't know what "young player" the Skins are going to dangle that would entice a team much (and not hurt the Redskins) and certainly don't see a player netting the Skins a move up and a 3rd or 4th. I guess the best case scenario would be Jax, GB, or SF seeing value in Golston and allowing the Skins to sub him for the 3rd (and maybe throw in a late pick) in order to move up. That seems kind of generous though. If someone would do #13, Golston, and maybe a 7th to move up I guess I could stomach it. Frankly, though, the only players I'd be happy to see the team move up for are Oher and Orakpo. Both might be worth the price to jump Buffalo. Of course, if the Skins start trading up with Jacksonville it is probably to get Sanchez because Seattle passed on him.

Well, I sort of asked the complete question in the thread title.

You can also answer in the form of; what picks would you be willing to give up to have him?

Dude, i'm the biggest homer for Aaron Curry.
But, i just don't think trading up is the way to go.
If he is just a few spots away and it was cost little to move up like our 1st this year and 3rd round pick next year, okay.

Theres absolutely no scenario in which i would trade up to get Curry and theres no way I'd even consider taking him if he fell to 13. (If he fell to 13, we'd have atleast 10 teams wanting to trade into our spot). As I said in another post yesterday, of our three primary needs (LB/DE/OT), LB is the one we are strongest at now and we have the "easy fix" of getting even stronger at the position by resigning Marcus Washington, who has softened his stance and is willing to come back for the vet minimum.

Drafting Curry would mean our starting RT would be either Jansen or Heyer and our starting LDE would be Wynn and Daniels. I don't know about you, but i'd be pretty satisfied with a LB corp consisting of Mcintosh/Thomas, Fletcher, and Blades/Washington. OT, DE, and even G/C are a greater priority at this point. This draft is incredibly deep at LB and, while Curry is a great talent, I think we'll be able to find a solid starter in the 3rd, or even 5th round.

Fair points, but I thought Heyer was on the verge of something special? Why not let him start at RT and watch him improve?

Exactly, which is why, in the "Please Draft at #13" thread, i proposed taking a DE if we were "stuck" at 13 and then a developmental OT with our 3rd round pick. I think Heyer will be a solid starter, but Samuels is aging and we need a better backup situation than Jansen and Clark.

I suppose i could go for going LB in the 3rd and OT in the 5th, but i'd prefer to get an OT earlier, especially if we bring Washington back. In the 5th round, a LB taken should atleast be able to play special teams his rookie year. I can't remember any OTs taken that late ever amounting to anything. As far as i'm concerned, if you're not going to take one in the first 3 or 4 rounds, you might as well wait pick up an undrafted guy.

I hope you're right about that BHA. Where did you see this? C'mon man, don't leave me hanging.

Washington is not coming back. I'd bet anything on it.
