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 mav1234 · Posted

      There's some big assumptions in here - first, I think Canales HAS helped Bryce a poo ton. To pretend he hasn't is asinine. Has he fixed him?  I mean, the dude looks like he could perhaps be a backup or low-end starter now, whereas he looked like he didn't belong in the NFL a year ago. You're talking about a coach that brought one of the worst NFL QBs of all time to a point where he may actually be a low-end starter. That IS impressive. Second, the bolded. Come on - given the offense, the dude is far from "trending towards bust." He definitely needs work but he's shown an impressive ability to get open. He's contributing to an anemic offense. The dude is our leading receiver (though he'll be #2 in yardage by end of season by a little, as Thielen does better per game).  As to his coaching, he had this team competing and believing against 3 of the better teams in the NFL, despite the lack of talent, and despite our QB situation.  Yes, things fell apart vs DAL, and he was outcoached. But that will happen with young coaches IMO.  I don't think it indicates he cant' be better. The idea of "pulling off the bandage" is ridiculous. Who would want to coach here if we fired this guy after one season?

      Has this game changed feelings about Young?

      Whatever they are in totality the cowboys are beat up all to hell on both sides of the ball and even that was too much for lil Bryce to overcome.  Bryce defenders have to hype up every other team and trash every other part of the panthers just because of the situation they’ve put themselves in.

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By SCO96 · Posted

      JB had a first round grade in the eyes of a lot scouts based on HIS TALENT LEVEL. If not for the injury he would have gone higher in the draft, possibly between the middle and the end of round 1. To get him just before the 50th pick is a steal. He'd be on a 4 year deal. You can't even renegotiate until the end of the season 3. You're basically paying him nothing for 3 seasons. I don't buy into all back are interchangeable. No they're not. You have average backs, good backs, then your great-exceptional backs. The latter category doesn't grow on trees. If a back is special it pays to keep them. The key is knowing the difference between the first two categories and the third one.
