Determining whether or not

Maualuga can play OLB (even for just a year) is pivotal. I hope they can figure that out today because, chances are, he will be available @ 13.

A lot of those “expert” mock drafters have us taking Tyson Jackson. Before we signed Daniels and Wynn, I thought he might be a good pick if we traded down. Like Daniels, Jackson is more of a run stopper than pass rusher. Right now, I would rather us go OT or LB with our 1st pick.

I really hope that rumor that the Redskins may be one of the teams interested in trading a 1st Round pick for Quinn is FALSE. He hasn’t shown me enough to justify that kind of move.

I had to vote “No” on trading Fred Davis because at this point we may need him in order to run 2 TE packages if Thomas and Kelly don’t improve. Odds are that at least one of those 3 picks from last year will pan out, right?!

Exactly,
although I went with tade Davis, if the Redskins get a 2 or 3 in return, opportunities for a solid TE will be available outside the draft.but with what appears to be a strong and deep Offensive line group in this draft is important to get more picks to get yonger quicker!

I said yes

I think trading Davis for a #2 would be smart. We have greater needs, and a back up can be found undrafted, or in the last couple rounds.

yes, trade him

but i seriously doubt anyone is even interested or would give up a 2nd rounder, it still baffles me why in the hell we drafted him when we got cooley and yoder
