It needs to be asked

I wish there was more football expertise on this board. I don't have it but it would certainly be more interesting to break down why the team is under performing and not make the jump after 5 games to the next season.

Draft talk gets boring enough during the off season,

Agree on the draft talk, but when you're 1-4 and there are so many problems--- all of which have already been beaten to death--- the draft is the only thing that shines a ray of hope at this point.

Fundamentals and execution.

Cannot block or tackle--Fundamentals

Execution --dropped passes, horrible passes to begin with, fumbles

We show lack of focus

Rivera is already working hard to ruin one franchise QB, why would you want him to ruin a second?

i see it as a combination of a lot of things, but one thing that really stands out for me is the lack of true leadership amoung the players.

sure there are a lot of talented players, but there's no one who takes command, motivates, or jump starts the team on the field.

this team needs someone along the likes of jake delhomme, mike minter, or sam mills.

With the #1 pick I don't think so. Right now it is Smith or trade down.

You sir.. are the prototypical worst type of fan.

Lol wut? So you would draft a dt cb de at #1 overall pick instead of trading the pick down?

[RockyTopVol]

If we get the #1 or #2 pick, we trade that sucker for a deal like St. Louis got this year.

Edit: Meant St. Louis, not Washington.

[The NFL Shield At Midfield]

we're entering this draft low on picks and we'll be over the cap going in to next season.

trade down, load up on picks, and bring in some guys that will help make this team better immediately. we've only outsmarted ourselves historically when we've tried to get cute on draft day.

too bad there's no one in the upcoming draft who will command that type of trade.

Oh but there is.

Before fashioning any draft strategy, we need to have an identitiy as a team.

Are we a running team? Passing team? College option team?

4-3? 3-4?

We seem to have no identity but try to do everything. We would be better to do at least a few things well rather than suck at multiple things

[nosuchthingasapanther]

Oh but there is.

who do you think it is, and what team is in desperate need of them to make that type of push?

[The NFL Shield At Midfield]

too bad there's no one in the upcoming draft who will command that type of trade.

at this point last year people were saying the same thing because luck was locked in at the top pick no matter what and griffin was projected as maybe a mid first rounder.

there is almost always some quarterback somewhere that rockets up the board.
