I agree lets get Locker a locker with the team

Re: 2011 NFL Draft
 

I'd say Locker is the most ready To play QB in this draft.

Re: 2011 NFL Draft
 

I say we hurry up and wait. With Grossman as this teams best option at QB Shanahan will surely be fired in a year or two. Then we can open the door and bring back Vinny

Anyway, I don't care if it's Locker, Dalton, Ponder, or V Young. Just get someone with promise. Give me someone that at least has upside.

Disagree. Locker needs mechanics and footwork work to overcome his problems in the pocket. I think that Ponder, with his experience in a pro style offense and his intelligence, is more plug-and-play.

Curious rumor.

I would say Mallett, Stanzi, Ponder, McElroy, Locker, Tyrod Taylor.

But, the advantage the pro-style QBs have might only last till training camp.

What do you guys think? Smokescreen or real deal?

I've heard about it from a couple of sites now. On one hand I hate the idea of hoping to bank on Free Agency to upgrade the front 7 (ie no first or second round pick on a front 7 guy). However at the same time if they see Gabbert as the type of player that's going to be on the same level as a Bradford or Ryan then it would certainly be worth it.

I mean if we're going to get a QB we might as well do it right and get possibly the best prospect rather then settling for the 3rd or 4th guy.

Oh and hey....huh huh huh....maybe it's a SMOOTscreen. Huh huh huh. I made a funny.

According to a couple of insiders on another board, they laughed and said it was basically BS. This is what was basically said.
[I]
Unless Gabbert or Newton falls to the #10 spot, don't expect a QB taken. It's either Quinn or they will be looking to move back.[/I]

The above information is current at it's time, but always subject to change. :)


Besides, we have absolutely nothing to offer as ammo to move up even if our coaches were that stupid.

Re: 2011 NFL Draft
 

Move up for who?? Gabbert? Newton?

I say this is BS...no way anyone at the Houston chronical knows the redskins intentions. If he was told anything it's a smokescreen.

Re: 2011 NFL Draft
 

This is a joke, who would the redskins trade?? We have no picks or players lol of anything we will trade down. Basically there is nothing to talk about and in the past the skins have made some retarded moves so let's just make shit up and see if people buy it.

Re: 2011 NFL Draft
 

I think the rumor about moving up is a smokescreen to enhance pick value.

That said, those who say that we have no ammunition are forgetting draft picks from 2012 being used.

Also, a guy from the Houston Chronicle could know something through a Kyle Shanahan connection.

Re: 2011 NFL Draft
 

Yeah I understand 2012 but do we really want to start letting those go also? Honestly if we would do that and draft Gabbert then he's the guy from day 1 , just like Sam last year and Matt Ryan a few years back. I just don't see any way this will happen

I was not arguing we SHOULD trade 2012 picks. I'm against that strategy. But we COULD.
