Barkley didn't come out so there is at least one draft prospect at QB next year. Also we'd get to fill out some more in some much needed spots.

Not endorsing the 'Rexless' turnovers that would take place next year but just saying I could handle another build year.

Well, I believe stockpiling draft picks and continuing to build the team at every position is ultimately THE best way to build a champion, but I wonder how patient Redskins fans as a whole, as well as Daniel Snyder would be with another Rex lead Redskins team?

What I think will happen: at #6 the Skins choose Ryan Tannehill, QB, Texas A&M

I don't know why this guy is ever brought up in round 1 conversations, he's clearly a 3rd round talent.

Tannehill has raw talent. He has only been starting at QB for a year and a half (previously played WR). His stock will skyrocket once he goes through the combine drills.

That's right, Tannehill can play and his upside-improvement potential may be the best among QB's in this draft!

Shanahan's drafts the past two years have been too sharp for something like that to happen. I haven't seen Tannehill projected as a first round QB anywhere, let alone a top 6 pick. That would be an even bigger reach than Ponder going 12th last year.

I think I would rather draft Michael Floyd than Blackmon who could be another Dez Bryant character and player wise.

Floyd isn't half the player Blackmon is.

Jeffrey is actually the most talented, but decided to get fat over the summer.

Here Tannehill appears in the first round although not in the top 6.

You could make the case that Locker, Ponder, and Gabbert were all overdrafted last year compared to where they were ranked in most draft sites. That's what happens to QB's.

I think Tannehill too, but it won't be 6th. We'll trade the 6th and move back to get Tannehill (or Foles maybe). I wouldn't rule out a FA QB either.

I'm not saying that it is not a reach. But people do reach for QB's - look at last year's first round.

I think that Tannehill is going to go a lot higher than some people seem to think.

Why do so many people keep saying this? It is ridiculous. Tannehill is not worth a top 10 pick. Not even a first round pick. But that is not to say he won't be drafted in the first round, he just shouldn't be.

He is more of a project than RG3 and less accurate and a lower ceiling.

If, IF, we target him I am sure Shanny will have enough sense to trade down and get a few more picks.

He basically said what he "thought" would happen not what he wanted to happen. Just about everyone here would love for the Skins to take Luck or RGIII, but most of with any common sense can figure that the Colts will take Luck and RGIII will probably go to the Rams, Browns, or Bucks.

So, when you see fans listing any of the other QB's besides Jones it's because they are figuring maybe the top 3 or 4 teams could take a QB and that leaves slim picking for the Skins and instead of going another year with out a QB they are saying we need to take whatever the next available QB is at #6, whoever they are.
