With the 5th pick in the draft the Washington Redskins select...

[over the mountain]

I believe in BPA in general. I believe more picks = more chances to add starters

But I also believe that when you are sitting in the top 10, you shouldnt trade down so far that all of your grade A players are gone.

I dont care if we trade down but i dont want to trade down so far that all the potential grade A players like shelton, ray, scherff or even beasley are gone.

We have the no. 5 overall pick. There seems to be plenty of grade A talent for the top 10 to 12 picks. id like to stay in the top 10.

Trading down isn't a bad thing to do. Just depends on the situation. But if there's a potentially great player on the board, and I think there is w/ Beasley, then you take him. End of discussion. Trading down certainly hasn't worked here, doesn't mean it won't. But we could have JJ Watt, instead we have Kerrigan. Not a draft expert but unless someone blows us away with something, I'd stay put and draft Beasley.

If we stay at #5, get Fowler.

If Fowler's gone, trade down with target on the following, in order:
- Waynes, CB, MSU
- Flowers, OT, Miami
- Peat, OT Stanford
- Dupree, DE//OLB, Kentucky

That would be a plan . I just hope we don't draft a WR in rd 1 .

At the same time, where Watt was drafted tells you we can trade back and still get an elite player.

"Here’s what a few football people who were at the league meetings are thinking about the breakdown of this draft: Nine prime picks, then eight or 10 really good prospects, then maybe 30 or so of the same-level player. The top nine: quarterbacks Jameis Winston and Marcus Mariota, defensive tackle Leonard Williams, wideouts Kevin White and Amari Cooper, pass-rushers Dante Fowler and Vic Beasley, offensive tackle Brandon Scherff and cornerback Trae Waynes. After that, beauty starts to be in the eye of the beholder. I had one GM tell me: “The 17th pick on our board might be the 53rd pick on another team’s board—and that could be a team we really respect.”

In other words, even if the Redskins trade back into a pick somewhere in the early teens they could be looking at a major drop off in the quality of the player they will get in the first round.

There is always the debate over quality or quantity. The crowd that wants to trade down thinks that giving McCloughan more selections will increase the chances that he can find future contributors. But there is also something to be said for getting a single impact player who has a very high chance of being successful and who can make other players around him better.

All I can say is trading UP did not help us!

and at the same time i agree 100% about your cooper comment.

In 2016 Garcon and D. Jax cost ~20M in cap charges. Having a guy who can step in as a WR1 (like Cooper) for 500k makes gives us a lot of flexibility.

i thought you meant from an age stand point, my bad j-red, you're right.

they can't get any younger, but they can restructure/renegotiate.

We can draft a wr second, third, or even fourth round. Not to mention, Cooper doesn't have the size to warrant being drafted that high. We got way to many holes on this team to invest the 5th overall into a wr. We got to go pass rusher.
