Did not say it was a certainty, just a possibility. Plus the Colts are a team with very few holes, so they have the luxury of taking a slot guy with a high pick. So we are talking about 2 different situations entirely.
My point is which ever team takes Manningham may in all likelihood, get a call from the Bengals to do business and CJ may be involved in that conversation.
I was just pointing out that the Redskins are in just the right draft position in the first round to get Manningham. If say Tampa takes him at #20, the Bengals may call Grudens camp instead.
Bengals like Manningham, and he is a late first round/early second round projection. And the Redskins are picking in a spot in the first that is right in line with where Manningham should get picked.
And if the speculation is true about the Bengals coveting Manningham, well that could align the stars in the 'Skins favor.
Again with 2 third round picks, the Skins could "sweeten" the deal by tossing in their original third rounder. I am thinking about Campbell here. To take care of a young QB you need to provide him with weapons. With Portis in the backfield, Cooley and Moss. Toss in a WR like Johnson and you can program Campbell for success. It that in itself may be worth the price of two draft picks.
Essentially it would be a first and a third. And that is pretty good.
