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

[coxc63]

It would be too late for that. We would have probably already picked by the time Denver would make the trade.

Best case: Philip Rivers and Eli Manning 2004.

We call Cincy, ask who they want, (Gabbert). We choose Gabbert, we get their 1st, Palmer, and another player to trade them the rights to Gabbert.

We then take either PP or Green.

Yea true, so basically say cincy wants Newton and tell us they'll trade us palmer and draft what player we want at no. 4. We decide green and they pick green for us, we swap those players during draft day get Palmer after the CBA finally situated, seems like a win win to me.

How pissed would you guys be if we traded down with a team like the Jets?

Our #1 overall pick for their #30 overall pick + late 2nd rounder.

The Broncos would probably be asking about the same as the Panthers, so Shanahan could opt to take out all speculation about which QB the Panthers would select, by taking the #1 pick from Carolina.

Carolina would then have two #1's next season just in case they still have need of a QB.

Troy Aikman went 1-15 his first season. Not a great Clausen fan, but think it a bit premature to go for another QB when all QB's last season spent a huge amount of time on their backs.

Couple that with the fact that all QB's this year are major projects, the trade down for more picks would be a good move for a new coach who might want to make his mark on a new team.

Put some things in place, then check out the QB situation, make your move next year if need be.

people seem to forget that Jimmy Johnson didn't hitch his train to Aikman after that bad season..he drafted Steve Walsh to take the job from Aikman but he couldn't do it.

i don't see it happening.

if we trade it will be with one of buffalo, cincy, or arizona.

None of this can be done without a CBA. No point discussing further.

But if they want either Gabbert or Newton, they would have to be retarded to trade with is.

Figure that Shanahan has his eye on one guy, not several

[CAVSS]

This would be awesome. We never miss in the second round.

I doubt any trade like this happens.

However, it is the Redskins. And they are very capable of ANYTHING on draft day.
