Jason LaCanfora and Kara Henderson of NFL Network both report the Redskins are still interested in trading up to the No. 2 spot to land a top quarterback.

The Houston Chronicle's John McClain first reported two weeks ago that the Redskins were "trying like crazy" to deal up. LaCanfora suspects the Redskins could land Mizzou QB Blaine Gabbert by staying put, but has spoken with several GMs who believe they will move up to ensure that they get their man. GM Bruce Allen would have to surrender the majority of his picks to move up eight spots.

Like I reported months ago and Darin Gantt predicted in his final mock before getting "reassigned" to cover Winthrop.

There's hope.

You have to be able to trade players to get the cost of the #1 down.

The cost of a #1 is 3,000 points. (reference here), their #10 yields 1300. So if they were going to trade, they would probably go at 2 because it's 400 points less and since we are not likely to take Blaine Gabbert, so going #1 is unnecessary. Their #41 will yield only 490, so getting the labor thing even partially settled would make this deal much easier. I think trading with Cincy would be the best cost effective since it would only cost them the 10 and 41.

Brian Xanders will start calling Denver when we select Cam Newton, fearing a run on QB's. But unfortunately I don't think we will get the call.

Locker seems like a good pick for that offense.

I think a lot of people are agreeing with you which is why some people are smoke screening on Locker right now. There was a report today that the Niners love him. I don't buy it.

I don't think we trade the pick for a few obvious reasons:

1. There isn't one player in this draft who is the sure thing #1 guy.

2. Nobody wants to pay #1 money.

3. The Panthers have a high asking price from what I have heard from all the articles. We want a #1, probably a #2 and a 3 or 4 or 5 or something.

And that leads back to number one....nobody wants Newton enough or Dareus enough or etc. that they would give up all that just to pick #1.

Lets just call Washington up and say we are going to pick Gabbert with the first overall pick. If they really want him then they have to trade with us. If they give us their draft for the next two years I would be happy with that. Hell I would be happy even if we got a second and third out of it along with their first.

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      By electro's horse · Posted

      Canales was brought in to fix Bryce. That was how he sold himself. He failed.  the panthers need a new qb, someone to coach him, and someone to build a defensive staff.  Canales has failed at developing a new qb. His big draft project XL is trending towards bust. His entire nfl resume before the panthers was one season as offensive coordinator on a stacked Bucs team, and being on the offensive staff when a 31 year old Geno smith finally put it all together. And he didn’t even pick his offensive coordinator. Assuming evero is gone, who’s he got in that phone to call? What low lvl porn addict evangelical from the bucs is ready to be Peter principled? There is nothing in his coaching history or his current performance that indicates he’s the person to move this team forward. Every other team knew this last cycle (panthers were only interview) and nothing has happened to change that perception   all people like you have is “well you can’t do it again it’s too soon but <random interval of time> will be different.  just pull off the bandage. There’s no reason to let this guy draft “his guy” except people wanting an excuse not to fire him after 2025.

      Both Reich and Canales were saddled with trying to build and establish a viable scoring offense around Bryce Young. The best the offense looked this season and last season was with Andy Dalton who is also terrible but still better than Bryce Young. Which should be all anyone needs to know but still somehow there are weirdos here salivating over a ceiling of maybe on a really good day the 25th best QB in the league. We've already canned one entire staff over our first overall pick. You can fire everyone again to satisfy your need for vengeance and quickly come to the realization that your next hire will absolutely unequivocally be a downgrade yes man or you can blow up this QB room and then assess. If no progress next season then you can make changes and justifiably so.
