Several sources have suggested the Redskins have begun to send out feelers on what it might take to get Seattle's pick, and the Seahawks, at this stage, would likely seek two first-round picks on the high end. That was a price the Redskins were willing to pay for Chad Johnson last year and Jay Cutler a few weeks back, although neither deal was completed.
Really? Take it now, take it and don't think twice. Move down 9 spots and take next year's first? If this is on the table it should have been accepted in the time I just wrote this sentence. Synder and Cerrato are now infamous for their distaste for draft picks, so in part this makes sense. Also, because of this distaste they have fewer picks in this year's draft to offer, so throwing in next year's first makes sense. The Seahawks would devalue that pick because of the uncertainty it offers.

I’d do it but the Jets are also interested in moving up maybe we can get some sort of Sanchez inspired bidding war.

maybe that's been the Hawks FO's plan the whole time.

Drive up demand for Sanchez, get a bunch of teams interested in their spot by putting it out that there that they’re looking to trade down. Teams will think they’re getting a deal.

I’m not exactly excited by the prospect of who’s floating around at #13, though. Brown, Jenkins, Oher, Raji?

I'm very big on Oher.

I think he’s the best OT in the draft.

Weez the juice!!

So do I.

Though I don’t think you can go wrong with any except for Andre Smith, and even he has the potential to be good.

DO IT.

The LOLSKINS are sure to be picking within the top 15 next season too since they’re practically already in the basement of the NFC East. Who would we draft at #13 though? Oher?

Jeremy Maclin

ha ha ha ha heh, actually I was thinking probably Moreno, if he’s still there. Personally, I’d prefer they didn’t.

it’s also just as likely the skins try and trade with st. louis, undercutting Seattles supposed interest in Sanchez.

I don't know.

I agree that their O-line situation is bad, but I think they’ll be a hard team to read this season. Defensively, they may be better. They could get a top OT at #4, and then address other needs later in the draft. They could suprise us next year.

But I will say that if I were a betting man, I’d bet for them to finish last in their division.

Weez the juice!!

Can you imagine if that happens and we end up with a top five or six pick next year.

There’s definitely going to be some quality QB’s up high. Might be really, really good timing.

by djafrot on Apr 17, 2009 5:11 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Yes, I can.

It would be one of those Holy-buttery-nipples-and-old-undies-Batman-my-dream-came-true scenarios.

It’s actually not out of the realm of possibility for that to happen.

Weez the juice!!

But knowing our luck, they will pull a Cleveland on us.

When the Cowboys traded their first round pick for Cleveland’s future first to land Brady Quinn late in the first round, it was considered an absolute farce because Dallas basically acquired a top 5 pick. Then, Joe Thomas and Derek Anderson happens.

I'd hope not.

But if that happens, I think I’d choose to take the glass-half-full outlook.

Weez the juice!!
