Draft News for the Warpath

I will break the nearest TV if we take Tebow in the first round...

:goodjob:

If we take Tebow at all I will basically smash my TV and burn my Skins jerseys. If we take Tebow in the first, I will set my house on fire!!!

This would be very nice. I think the Carriker deal was a nice deal as well, but I do not like how we have again managed to widdle away our picks for the win now approach talked about in the Carriker thread. Bottom line is we need more picks!!!!!

I forget who posted it, but credit to the Warpath member who legitimately listed out our picks:

1-?
2-McNabb, not a win now only mentality, certainly seems like they want him for 3 yrs (no extension aside)
3-Jarmon, good to very good supplemental pickup last year before he got hurt, also on VC's watch
4- ?
5-?+Carriker
6:vomit:
7-?

so really, even though it's a bummer to only have 1 pick in a deep draft, I don't think saying win now mentality caused us to be short picks is accurate

according to multiple sources, the skins are pushing hard to trade up and acquire bradford. evidently mcnabb is going to be a one year rental

other than the nfl fanhouse article who's still pushing this?

The voices in his head? lol

:silly:

His voices are so much clearer than the ones in my head. Wish I could get the ones in my head to make some decisions & enunciate better!

So far the press that has said Allen & Shanny love to keep everyone guessing are right on. And they've done a great job of keeping things under wraps. No one saw the McNabb deal coming.

NFP and the AOL were reporting it. Sorry for not providing links earlier, i was on my cell phone. I suppose I should have used the term "outlets" as opposed to "sources."

seems crazy to me though as we would evidently have given up a 2nd rounder on McNabb just to have him as a 1-year rental. we'd be fools not to trade him if we signed Bradford.

I smell smoke, not a real move. It is easier to create a trade down if we tell others that we are a wildcard who might not do the expected.

The first link references the 2nd link and the 2nd link's most concrete line says:"One of the sources said that Washington was the only team still in the mix to trade for Bradford"

This the viral media spiral i hate. One source, anonymous and very obtuse, has a point that makes a juicy story, and it gets picked up and repeated until it seems to be coming from everywhere.

I'll see you one source and raise you a stlouis reporter tweet

Nothing going on between Rams and Redskins for the No. 1 overall pick, multiple sources at Rams Park tell me.

NFP "source" is just a link to Fanhouse, so it's not multiple sources. It's really just one guy.

The real conversation right now with the Rams is about their 1st pick....in the 2nd round

(right now word is Berry is our pick if we stay at #4, so I guess they think they can get their OT at the top of the 2nd? And/or add Jammal Brown?) Still plenty of time to go though

Maybe they'll package Haynesworth and Rocky along with the 4th pick? Just speculating?
