Maybe. But certainly not for any reasons we've discovered through the draft process.

Gibbs did say last week they want to improve their red zone efficiency, and Bowe would certainly be a good red zone option. But man, that would not be a good choice at all with everything else needed and available.

Say No to Bowe

But what if we found a trading partner in the mid-late first round and also scored a 2nd and 3rd or 4th rounder? We could get Bowe and also end up with a D-lineman like Tim Crowder, Charles Johnson, or Turk McBride, or a safety like Meriweather.

I do think that Cooley, Sellers, Portis, and Betts can put together good red zone effeciency. If friggin' Lloyd can step up he'd help too....

Argghhh, I just wish tomorrow was the 28th, not the 21st. I am SO tired of speculation at this point.

Seems reasonable to think that if the skins are considering CJ, then they would have to compare him against the next best receiver in the draft. It is just the smart way to evaluate players. There could be a trade senario that nets us a later 1st round pick where Bowe is the best available player on the board. In that case, the skins would have to consider him. Regardless, the skins are rating players at every position so I'm sure Bowes name has come up.

Speaking of trades, with the draft 1 week away, how much longer do you guys think Rosenhaus lets it go before he starts up the Briggs rumors again?

A WR should be the last thing on the priority list, right now. We NEED a Defense.

IMO, we are in pretty good shape on the offensive side of the ball.
Yea Lloyd's a tard, but he's gonna get one more year. Let's hope he can turn it around.

I agree....I know Gibbs said we need to improve our red-zone offense, but if we don't do something about defense it's not going to matter unless they plan to play football the way the Wizards play basketball....Outscore everybody-No defense.

[JankySpanky80]

This had better be false, b/c if it isn't CJ then we don't need a WR

[DieHardSince76]

What is the deal with Ian Scott anyway? Has he visited Redskin Park?

[vaoutlaws2006]

the idea of using our first round pick on a WR is absolutely the most ridiculous rumor i have seen this offseason.

[GusFrerotte]

Doesn't matter who we get(unless it is a punter/kicker) they will probably make a positive impact regardless. I can't see us getting a WR, with what we acquired last season, and the crop of definsive linemen is top notch. Then again, rarely have the Skins' FO addressed the needs of the team in the draft. For all we know they will draft a QB at #6, which to be honest in the long run isn't such a bad idea. Even if JC works out, I rather see us have a young QB as a backup than Brunell. Remember Schuler/Frerotte? Jury is still out on JC, and we know what Brunell can/can't do. BOttom line is nobody knows what the Skins' want to do. I would even bet that the FO is still trying to decide what to do. Remember last year when they picked up 3 RBs in the mid to lower rounds? Wasted picks in my opinion as they could have drafted the best available defensive linemen left. I am sure they could have had at least one or maybe two future starters if they would have done that.

Ok, but hooskins would you agree that the four receivers I mentioned are all among the best, if not the best, wide receivers in the NFL? And CJ, at best, would be among those receivers (even if he's at the top of that list)?

Yes, I agree with that. I also agree that I have high expectations for CJ.
