| Trading up to #2 Since we all want an impact player in the draft, why not trade...Garner, #9 and Betts, to Miami for there #2 and take Braylon Edwards....then we can compete with the Eagles in the Division for the Title...... or if we could Trade to get the #2 who would you take?  |

| Re: Trading up to #2 I'm not really sold on Edwards. As anyone knows, I'm one of the bigger Williams supporters. I definitely would not want to lose our depth at RB. If SOMEHOW we could get the #2 (which I don't think could happen in any situation), of course I'd take Williams. If all the players I listed in MY preferred draftees list are gone, I'd say trade down for more picks.

| Re: Trading up to #2 Malcolm once again I agree with you on most of your comments. I however feel we should pass on Williams and get the best corner available in the draft. I think "pac-man" Jones would do more for us. The replacement of Smoot is obvious but Jones is also an explosive return man. Morton has not really done much for us an I suspect he will be cut in June. IF NOT that I think like you that trading down for more picks is a better option. |

| Re: Trading up to #2 I say trade down, collect picks, and make good, solid 'for the long term' selections.

Agreed, if we can't get Williams then trade down. | |

| Re: Trading up to #2 Both the Niners (at #1 overall) and the Dolphins (at #2 overall) are ACTIVELY looking to trade down. The reason is that the consensus this year is that the draft is one of the worst ones in memory in terms of "star players" and "impact players". Everyone will be looking to try to get more picks in lower spots (smaller cap hits) and so that market may be difficult to navigate. Now if a team really wants to move up and thinks it has some kind of scouting edge, they COULD grab the #1 and #2 picks this year. If a team does that, their scouts better be right because those contracts will become painful in about 3 years...

| Re: Trading up to #2 If we move up in the draft it will be on draft day, and not more than a few slots. IF,and this is a big if, IF they are really sold on a guy and really want him they might make one of thoes moves where you go up a pick or two just to make sure you get him. Assuming you think someone else wants the same guy. I do see this happening a lot in this years draft, probably not with us though.

| Re: Trading up to #2 I do not see us moving anywhere at all. I believe that we have a good position in the draft minus a second round pick. Low enough to get an impact player, and high enough to not have to pony up the dough for him. However, I am no pshycic. The draft will prove to be interesting.

| Re: Trading up to #2 I wouldn't mind moving up (with a trade of the 9th, our third rounder, and Gardner) to the #2 pick, only to move down to around 15th in the first and second round.

Fine, but you have to have a trade partner propose such. I have scanned several Mocks for the 10th - 32nd picks, less the cowroids, gints & egirls picks of course. Any position in that area looks great on paper, and I'm for it. But please don't think trade-downs grow on trees! The most likely scenario is us sticking at the #9th spot, and picking the BPA! Unfortunately, we have yet to determine who that BPA is! Do not mock with your heart, pre-supposing it will be a "need" either! The BPA is simply that, the BPA, regardless of need! I've seen fans pre-suppose we need a WR because of Coles and Gardner. They seemingly forget the acquisition of Moss & Patten. I've seen fans pre-suppose a CB because of the loss of Smoot. The FO signed Walt Harris last year in anticipation of a potential loss of Smoot this year! Great thinking! Some fans pre-suppose we need a MLB, because we lost Pierce, but we have several ladies-in-waiting, Lemarr, Clifton, and Mike Barrow (possibly). Some say we "need" a TE. The best indicator of us not needing one is last year's draft with KWII ready, willing, and admitting he was as good as drafted by the Redskins. Didn't happen. We got a Hybrid H-Back in Cooley, and have Royal, who came on late last year. So, I'm just not sure that we draft purely for "need"! And from what I've read, we aren't trading up. What HOF Coach Gibbs is doing is laying down a very thick smoke screen with camoflage and mirrors regarding this upcoming draft. Now, compound all of the above with all of the many varied possible selections of teams drafting 1-8, and you have a monumental task to guess who is coming to dinner when Commisioner Tagliabue steps to the Microphone and announces: "With the 9th pick in the NFL Draft, the Washington Redskins .............................
