Agree, if we give them lots of players we have to keep most of our draft picks.

All I'll say is that if the Redskins end up trading up to no. 2 in the next two and a half weeks (instead of on draft day when they probably don't have to go up to 2), the ultimate target isn't going to be Griffin.

It's Luck.

Seems tagging is the popular choice. lol.

JK, I forgot he was a FA folks chill. I don't know maybe they ask us to get a contract done with Fletcher so he can be packaged with Orakpo and picks to them for us moving up to #2? It helps us, they get the two players they want, everyone is happy. Except me of course.

This angle hasnt been played yet, the browns have more ammo as far as draft picks, but we do have a few young players that have some value. It all depends on who we give up Orakpo would hurt a little but he was also drafted by the old regime.

I just don't see that happening but I'm sure the Rams would love it.

Well, since the Colts can pretty much name their price to swap Griffin and Luck, I'd have to imagine they would.

The trade up from 6 to 2 would be cheap by comparision.

Could you imagine if the Colts swing a trade to swap the #1 and #2 pick. Resign Peyton at a lower price and then trade the #2 pick as well. Double your pleasure and double your fun.

Well they want/need to draft the quarterback, but yeah, the rest is certainly within the realm of possibility.

No doubt they need a QB but it would be difficult to turn away the ton of picks you could pick up by trading the #1 and #2 pick. Especially if Peyton is healthy.........

[GTripp0012]

With the caveat that I don't think Orakpo is going anywhere this offseason, can you imagine our defense with no Orakpo, no Landry, and no Fletcher? I mean, holy crap, we're not going to stop anybody all year if our second best defensive player is Josh Wilson. The Blache years will look very competent by comparison.

Yea, that would be a bad situation. Although we played the majority of last year without Landry. Losing Fletcher and Orakpo would put us in a world of hurt.

With all the picks they'd already get (from us?) to go from 1 to 2, I'm sure they'd manage.

[SmootSmack]

As I understand it, deals with Davis and Fletcher are "very close to completion" as is a decision on Landry

Well, I would assume we'd sign people to replace them.
