Re: Trading Down the 1st Rounder next year

Trading down out of a really high first rounder to get multiple picks would require some degree of ingenuity from the front office. I wouldn't trust this crowd to do such a thing.

Casserly could do it. Wonder if Danny could throw him a few million, make him forget about the past?

Caesserly is a hack. What has he ever done? He won a SB with a team he didn't build. Then set forth to ruin a franchise throughout the mid 90s. He was as responsible as anyone for the teams struggles until Gibbs finally came back.

Casserly accumulated the talent that Gibbs coached to victory. By his own admission Snyder said he fired the wrong guy when he fired Casserly and kept Norv. Gibbs is a great coach but taleent evaluation is not his forte. This team needs a real full time GM. I dont know that Casserly is the guy but the skins need someone to be the GM.

Im not trying to be rude or anything, but your premise that Casserly was a good GM is just plain wrong. Bobby Beathard built Gibbs super bowl teams, not Charlie Casserly. Casserly was a HORRIBLE GM. He absolutely cannot evaluate talent. Just look what he did to the Texans for goodness sake. I would rather keep the current system, and I hate the system as it is, than go back to Casserly.

You are correct, I got Casserly and BB mixed up. Insert BB into my post wherever I typed Casserly.

Trading down would be a great idea becasue of so many needs. But the current braintrust isn't smart enough to do that. Bringing Charlie back would be a good idea. He knows more about today's NFL/ College than anyone they currently have. And you can put Norv in the blame game for the 90's. Norv wanted Shuler/Westbrook. He thought they were going to be Aikman and Irvin. But I would try and get someone from Balt. Chicago or New England front office. Someone with disipline and fiscal responsiblity that knows how to draft. I believe Bobby DePaul works in Chicago's front office and he is mostly responsible for building the current Bears team. He once worked for the Skins many year ago.

I agree with your assessment of Bobby DePaul, what about Ron Wolf? THe Green Bay Packers once GM- He brought in Holgren, Favre, etc...

ahhhh...someone with brains in their head. I am glad i am not the only one who sees a need for a real general manager. not a danny flunkey like cerrato and not gibbs making personal decisions. Our front office system has a fatal flaw. throwing millions at has beens, except ARE, isnt the answer.
