Something has to be going on between the Skins and Browns.

Don't think that 2 teams throwing mixed signals means that they're in cahoots, but it definitely could happen.

Too much smoke now to take anything seriously as everyone is jockeying for position.
Berry-Okung go 4-5, but in what order?

Would love to trade down with them and get some picks.

Holmgren said they're reaching out one last time to the Rams for the #1 ("Worst they can do is say no to us")

I still think they're a contender for Clausen where they are, though they deny it.

The posts and threads on this board today would be so different if we were talking about Vinny thinking of drafting Berry at #4...soooo different

But anyway...

while this is true for the most part, i could care less who is running the show i'm all in on berry and spiller, i think they are both awesome and would love to take either of them, i just wish we had a freaking 2nd, but i would also really like to see williams or okung here too. drafting this high throws players you don't have to have in the mix if we were drafting at 7 or 8 berry wouldn't even be in the mix, it'd be all spiller all day, and if we weren't in the top ten it'd be ol or nothing, also would be easier ot move around, i just read what i typed and really can't wait for this day to end :confused:

It's more of a big picture thing. Vinny wouldn't have had the smarts to deal and maneuver like Allen and Shanahan have this offseason and we would likely be looking at a completely different scenario surrounding the team. By the way we already know that Vinny wouldn't have drafted Berry.

I'm 100% sure that if Vinny was the GM he would have drafted Clausen which is fine. However given Vinny's reputation around the league it's likely he wouldn't have been able to attract a post-Zorn coaching staff capable of developing him.

I mean isn't that a big reason why Snyder had Vinny "resign," because he started to see that no reputable coach wanted to work for the Redskins with Vinny picking and backstabbing his way around town?

The way Shanahan and Allen have run this team from top to bottom, from the workouts to acquiring players has been nothing short of spectacular. With that said only way to get us on board with the possible Berry pick is to find a way to still bring in a quality tackle weather it be Jamaal Brown or some other equivalent.

So yes when you isolate the scenario of the Vinny picking Berry then you would probably see people grabbing pitchforks opposed to Allen and Shanahan where people at this point are much more willing to go along with the teams braintrust. Of course I must concede that a good part of that is goodwill from being the ones that made Snyder comfortable enough to go with someone else besides Vinny.

Maybe we could get a #2 and then...

Nothing new

On another note, now I'm hearing Bulaga (which definitely means a trade down). This stuff is impossible to keep up with

it's not that hard out here, cuz we aren't hearing nearly as much as you(hint hint hint!)

[Dirtbag59]

My sources tell me that the Redskins are now looking to trade down and take Bulaga.
