This is a possibility, and I have a few ideas how it could go down, especially considering that we should look at WR in the draft also. I will offer several different scenarios, one which gets a CB, one which gets a DE first, one which gets a WR first, etc. and we can see how everyone likes either one. Both assume that we trade with the Saints, although obviously there are a few other teams that would want to trade up. I assume that the Saints are moving up to get Derrick Johnson, and we get our 2nd rounder (#40) back from them as compensation for moving down.

Option 1 (CB, DE, WR): We select Carlos Rogers at 16, Justin Tuck or Matt Roth at 40, and perhaps Vincent Jackson, Matt Jones, or Fred Gibson at 76. The flaw here of course is that the Chiefs might take Rogers at 15, thus screwing our plan.

Option 2 (CB, WR, DE): We select Rogers at 16, Chris Henry or Reggie Brown at 40, and Jovan Haye at 76.

Option 3 (DE, WR, CB): We select Erasmus James at 16, Henry or Brown at 40, and perhaps Darrent Williams, Stanley Wilson, or Domonique Foxworth at 76.

Option 4 (DE, CB, WR): We select James at 16, Marlin Jackson or Bryant McFadden at 40, and Jackson/Jones/Gibson at 76.

Option 5: (WR, CB, DE): We select Troy Williamson or Roddy White at 16, Jackson or McFadden at 40, and Haye at 76.

Option 6: (WR, DE, CB) We select Williamson/White at 16, Tuck/Roth at 40, and Williams/Wilson/Foxworth at 76.

My favorite option remains staying at 9 and taking Mike Williams, then probably adding Stanley Wilson at 76. But of these trade down options, I probably prefer the first one which which could add C. Rogers, J. Tuck, and V. Jackson.

Any other opinions on this?

like I said earlier, I hope brown, blows out his ass, that doesn't mean that there in the superbowl, I posted earlier, and I stick by it, F#$^ Brown, I can care less, this offseason has been a pain in the ass, we can't keep our own, All Brown was doing was waiting for Denver to up the price, because why not come to a team that is 3rd, instead of going to a team that was torched by the Colts, what the hell are we not saying or is saying thats running everyone off

[TheMalcolmConnection]

We're saying that we're not the Redskins of old who would most likely have paid about 5x what Brown is worth.

Ramseyfan you where correct about C. Brown-5yrs. missed 33 games and was not very productive when he did play. Daniels will be back- but he is no big sack DE- In my opinion a pass rushing DE should be the priority-we will all find out on draft day-still 3 wks. away

[diehardskin2982]

what about M. Wiley (da dude), marques douglas, or ed jasper.

oh well brown's loss this season jus feels different we will go far.

[BrudLee]

Brown was going to be a gamble either way - as an infrequent card player, I can state that gambles you make are a lot easier to justify than gambles someone else makes.

In his five professional seasons, Brown has missed an average of over six games a year. Part of our pitch to him was that he would not be overused because of our rotation. Part of Denver's pitch was that he would be their starter. I guess the allure of starting was more important.

Though I would have liked to see C Brown come for cheap, we gave him an offer, he didn't want it. No big deal. Denver promised him playtime and we didn't.

[TheMalcolmConnection]

Yup, my opinion on the situation is kind of like, "Meh, oh well."

At the risk of starting some football conversation, any word on Dyson? I'm curious about that pickup, mainly because if the Skins are indeed interested, they must DEFINITELY see something we don't.

[EternalEnigma21]

I would have been excited about getting him, but now that he went to denver i do hope he is a bust for them. Whats wrong with that? Whats wrong with hoping a decision your team made was the right one no matter what the outcome? I cant see anyone saying, "Man, I hope that C. Brown takes Denver's defense up to the top in the NFL and they go to the super bowl." Not on this site.

There's no way they'd go for that. Plus, if we couldn't afford Pierce or Smoot, how can we afford Howard?

[Daseal]

I'd rather have C. Grant! =p

[56FAN]

:headbange that would be great but i don't think he's available, if he is that would sweet. may we nee to get creative in our trades and drafts. we've been throwing money at the problems and it doesn't work. i jonesing like the rest of you but this the right thing to do. the cap has surely changed the game. you play by it or you will pay for it. thank goodness for nfl channel.

[Counter-Tre]

Meh. I'm not thrilled but I'm not heart-broken. It would have been a nice novelty to have the number one, two and three picks from a single draft all on one team but what are ya gonna do.
