OK, with an idea of decent idea of possible FA pickups, I continue my rant on our offseason with...

TRADES

I only see 2-3 reasonable trades, with one being an otpion the 'Skins aren't considering (so I have heard)

1. Franchise Fred Smoot and trade him for draft pick(s) - this is the move I keep hearing we aren't going to do... but for me... I'd TRY and get something for him... I'd HATE to see him just walk.
2. Trade Rod Gardner to the Bucs for (it sucks to sya this is the absolute best we could get for our former first rounder) .... a 3rd round pick.
3. Trade the 2 3rd round picks for a 2nd rounder.

DRAFT

There are SOOOO many options this early in the game that it'd be way too much to list all the possibilities, so all I can do is tell you what I would do...

1st Round - Trade down, pick up Troy Williamson or Mark Clayton. Yeah, Williamson's senior yr could be a fluke, and Mark Clayton is short, but they both are ELECTRIC playmakers... and taking them helps us with OTHER NEEDS.

2nd Round - C Chris Spencer or C Ben Wilkinson (the pick we have from trading Gardner for a third, then trading both 3rd for a 2nd

2nd or 3rd Round - DE Justin Tuck ..if he's still around at this point... This guy is a BEAST ... 6'5 with blazing speed OR DE Chris Canty - 1st Round talent with a knee injury Sr year dropping his stock, but definitely worth a look (the pick we have from trading down in the 1st)

That's all I have so far... thanks for listening ... I'll knidly step down now from..

and listen to what you guys think about my completely biased "reasonable" offseason ideas....
