btw the redskins are still trying to trade up for a qb

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.

    • If Canales has helped Bryce a “poo ton” and this is what we have then what’s the fuging point? And the offense wasn’t humming with Dalton in there either, except against the raiders who’ll likely be firing their coach after this season.  XL is probably the fourth best looking receiving option on the team right now behind thielen, Coker, and sanders. I don’t think anyone would disagree with that. Who cares about total receiving yards when everyone else has missed time and there’s like 180 yards of receiving a game.  and lmao they were “believing” shut the fug up. They lost and for the most part those games were all the defense shutting down the other team. The chiefs turned around and gave up an actual impressive stat line to Aiden O’Connell and I not even the most delusional raiders fans think that means anything. Bryce did nothing against the eagles, the Bucs are a mash unit, and any one of us could have done that Bryce did against the giants and saints.  And as far as who they’d get, they didn’t have any trouble hiring the guy you’re tripping over yourself to defend. They also could have hired Dan Quinn, who’s actually succeeding with a young qb.  And people are acting like the risk of getting paid for not working for five years is a negative. Canales is going to spend the next half a decade getting paid to watch porn in his Bible camp office.
    • the Dallas game definitely quelled the hype. his biggest issue will always be his size, and that shows when he gets sacked. he's simply not big or strong enough to protect the ball. even in the KC game, he fumbled it on a basic sack and thank god icky landed on it. INT's are going to happen, most fans don't understand that tipped balls and wrong routes account for most interceptions. but the wet-bar-of-soap type fumbles upon contact are a huge reg flag. the common theme with players like Darnold and Mayfield who previously played for us and are now excelling makes me want to practice patience more when it comes to the QB position. I think Bryce bought himself another season, perhaps with more weapons. I do like the idea of adding a QB whether that's a FA or mid round rookie. if the same mistakes occur next season and we see no further growth or most importantly, wins, then it will be time to move on. just a quick reminder though, football is not an individual sport. QB is just one position, albeit the most important. 
    • 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?
