Scot just interviewed he said;
doesn't see them trading up... wants more picks ... still have a long way to go
it sounds like the odds are high that they will trade down again

Seems like a deep draft at positions of need, so I'm all for it.

I'd like one each, please! :)
Seriously, we could use a hitter who could cover tight ends.
Jayron Kearse from Clemson, or even our own Kyoshen Jarrett (We use him the way the Cardinals use Tyrann Mathieu anyways)

I don't know Chico. I always get worried that they'll find their next franchise QB instantly instead of suffering with the Drew Bledsoes and Quincy Carters for years. I still worry they'll take Ezekiel Elliot. WAY too high for him, but damn he would look good behind that line.
30gut, maybe you're right on that one game, but how do you "teach" aggression? You can shape technique and do film study to fix intangibles, but it's like saying you can someone's personality. I would be nervous as hell taking a WR or CB if we didn't have Scot. My fears are alleviated a bit with him in charge, but last thing we need is to miss on a first or second round pick while we're still rebuilding. I wouldn't hate ILB, but I think Mason and Compton are more than adequate right now and we can invest the picks elsewhere.
I understand that but Reggie Ragland looks like a better CJ Mosley, and for some reason over the last 3-4 years Bama has given the NFL some elite inside linebacking play

Makes sense, but he says "we have some money, it's gonna be similar"...I imagine as in last year. If that's the case, junior gallete, pot roast, culliver and paea wasn't exactly sitting on the sidelines. Still he is saying the focus will be draft which is the perfect plan.
Culliver and paea were not exactly small deals...those deals could snag a Denver linebacker like trevathen or Marshall...

it's not about cost with McC, it's about value.

Culliver could be getting $9.2 million this year. If they are just as active as last year, you are looking at about 4 starters. Keep in mind Scot would be foolish to telegraph his plans. They still need a lot of help (DL,LB,CB, S.... virtually everywhere.

I like the quote in their too about free agents....it's not about themselves anymore, it's about the redskins.
Value also in the sense of team...lockerroom...
