Redskins "trying like crazy' to trade up for a QB

Per John McClain of the Houston Chronicle (and the "Die Hard" movies).

Heading down home stretch to the draft

I don't know what they have to offer, but I hear the Redskins are trying like crazy to trade up to get one of the quarterbacks, Blaine Gabbert, I imagine. Some mocks have them taking quarterback Jake Locker if they stay at 10. What a reach that would be, but Mike Shanahan loves mobile quarterbacks who can throw on the run.

For the record, Marty Hurney says that he has received no calls whatsoever about trade offers, but also says it's "early yet". If the Redskins target is indeed Gabbert, but they think we're sold on Newton, this might not affect us (or it might mean that Hurney and Rivera start talking about how much they like Gabbert).

Also this interesting observation...

It's amazing how teams are worried about outside linebacker Robert Quinn's benign brain tumor that hasn't caused him a problem since his last year of high school, but you don't hear anything about it. All we're hearing, health-wise, is about defensive end Da'Quan Bowers' knee.

Quinn and Bowers are top prospects. All it takes is for one team's doctors in the top 10 to clear them, and they're home free. It's going to be interesting to see if either or both drop. They're a risk, but they could be a steal.

That is way below what we should expect to get for the pick.

I would rather not get fleeced by the Skins for the 2nd time.

The pick is worth whatever we decide it is worth to us. Those charts objectively mean poo. If we truly believe that there is some major talent in the 2nd round, it may only be worth adding a high second. If we really believe Cam (or anyone else for that matter) is going to be an all star, then it could be worth 10 first round picks.

      Start with Bryce, this is like his rookie year. The 1st 2 games proved her was wired wrong and it looks like (we hope) he needed a time out to reset and be the player that was drafted. He's still about a year or more away from being a top 15 QB, if the Panther give him another playmaker or 2 (a top WR and a decent TE) and maintain that line. Canales deserves credit as playing that card correctly to motivate (or refocus) his QB for one last shot to decide his and the Panthers immediate future. As a Panther fans we should hope he keeps improving as we invested so much to get him. CJ Stroud will never have a season like he had, even if he stays a top 10 QB. He's got great character so I'm rooting for Bryce to continue on his positive journey. Canales is playing the week to week thing with bryce perfectly. Nothings guaranteed, earn it weekly which builds consistency and consistency is greatness.  Keep the O-line. They've got to extend Brady C, along with Mayes that have a real good 7. Great job Morgan starting with the big guys upfront.  I really hope they draft a DE or OLB in the 1st round. Getting Brown back with A Robinson and what DJ has shown that we can have a decent D-line. Need a CB in the early rounds/ or a time FA to go with Horn.  The future as to next year being good enough to challenge for the division is within reach. Just show progress (win or lose) every week. Kudos to Dan Morgan. Plays GM like a LB. Tackle the problem and move on, don't just hope it works out. Find guys with your playing mentality and work closely with your HC to share a vision. Teamwork starts at the top and flows down.
