We will start by stating 2 facts Luck is going #1 and without brown & dolphins handling there QB issues through Free agency ( Manning & Flynn ) RG3 won't fall to us. This is the draft as it stand now 1. colts- Luck 2. Rams- Blackmon 3. Vikings- Kalil 4. Browns-RG3 5. Bucs- Claiborne so here the plan we could draft Reiff but here's the way we fix this team now. We trade the 1st round pick for a 2 & 3 this year and whatever picks you can get for 2013 ( this gives us two #2,two #3, two #4, #5, & #7 ) with those picks we take the which ever QB you like after Luck & RG3 all will be there in the second round when we pick. With the second #2 pick- Zebrie Sanders T from Florida st. Round 3 we take Kevin Zeitler G from Wis and Tommy streeter WR fom Mia. Round 4 we take Nigel Bradham ILB from Florida st and Shaun Prater CB from Lowa. Round 5 ( 3 choices ) Lucas Nix OG from pitt, Philip Blake C from baylor, William Vlachos C from alabama. Round 7 best player. Even if shanny brings manning worst case he tutors the young QB and saturday will follow worst case he tutors the young C. This gives us depth on a line that isn't bad when healthy but couldn't stay healthy the last 3 to 4 years atleast. Free Agency we sign Fletcher, Davis, Hightower, Landry if you are tired of him them Branch from Oak, Carriker, Montgomery or Lichtensteiger. All K from the draft will be there after the draft nobody is drafting them this year except maybe 1 or 2 in th seventh round. Remember all we need at QB right now is one that doesn't average a int a game and just be consistent like A.Dalton did last year with this running game he has help. You cannot tell me with a line and running game like we have with this draft we cannot find a QB in the 2nd round since only Luck & RG3 will go in the first round

I have updated my salaries/contracts, dead cap, Rule of 51/cap position and cut/trade savings charts.

So for those interested they can be found in the links below or in this thread:.

CPND Salary Cap Charts Updated

My pages are now all on this site.

Current cap position in Rule of 51 link.

We're in great cap shape heading into 2012, and if the last reported carryover cap space from 2011 holds up ($13.6m), then we could have as much as $43m right now. the finalisation of the 2011 carryover is dependent on any yet to be applied escalators/incentives.

Say we do whatever it takes to trade up for RG3 and therefore have a deficit of picks this year and next. Given the glaring holes throughout our roster and our suspect O-line, Do we give RG3 the starting job from day one hoping his athletic ability makes up for our talent-deficient o-line or do we let him sit for half a year or the whole year letting him get accustomed to the speed of the game.

Just for fun, I have taken up the responsibility of running my beloved Redskins as their new pretend general manager. Here is my agenda:

1. First and foremost, Secure a franchise quarterback. This will involve a trade. I don't want any of the short term answers FA is offering and I am not totally sold on Matt Flynn. I want this position to be taken care of for at least the next 10 years. This is why I pick up the phone and make the call to the St Louis Rams to land Sam Bradford. The compensation would be our 1st rounders this year and in 2013. We would be taking on $13mil for the next 4 years, but we'd have our long term solution. Drafting Luck would have been my first choice, but getting Bradford cost us far fewer picks.

2. Now that QB is settled, we resign our free agents. London Fletcher is a no brainer. I'd also resign Adam Carriker, Kendrick Gholston, LaRon Landry - short term only, Rex Grossman cheap and also short term with the understanding he is a backup, Will Montgomery, Tim Hightower, and Kory Lichtensteiger. Keyaron Fox and Bryan Westbrook are signed for special teams. If you take away the blocked kicks, Graham Gano actually had a decent season, so I'd give him one more year, with the understanding that we will be bringing in competition during camp. Fred Davis will be franchised.

3. Free Agency. Sign CB Brandon Carr, C Chris Myers, G Ben Grubbs, WR Mario Manningham

4. Cut or trade CB DeAngelo Hall, WR Anthony Armstrong, QB John Beck, KR Brandon Banks

5. Now to the draft. Our 1st round pick went to the Rams in the Bradford deal, so we start our draft in the early 2nd round. I'd trade back to the mid to late 2nd while gaining another 3rd rounder using the NFL Draft Value Chart. I'd take T Mitchell Schwartz from Cal with that 2nd round pick. I look for him to eventually take over at right tackle. With our first pick in round 3 I'd go for CB Casey Hayward from Vanderbilt. Our other 3rd rounder would be used on WR Juron Criner from Arizona. I see him as a big red zone target, plus he sure made Foles look good on deep jump balls in college. Our first 4th round pick would be S Winston Guy Jr. out of Kentucky. I'd be looking for him to possibly replace Landry if he doesn't come back 100% from injury. With the 4th rounder we got from the Raiders in the Jason Campbell deal, I'd take ILB Chris Marve of Vanderbilt. I see him as an eventual replacement for Fletcher once he finally retires. I'd take QB Brock Osweiler of Arizona State with our 5th round pick. He'll replace Grossman and be our long term backup behind Bradford. With the 6th round pick, I'd build up the line depth some more with G Stephen Good from Oklahoma. With our final pick, we take K Randy Bullock from Texas A&M in the 7th round to push Gano for the kicker job.

Our Redskins roster going into camp would look something like this:

QB: Bradford, Grossman, Osweiler

RB: Helu, Royster, Hightower

FB: Young

TE: Davis, Cooley, Paulsen

WR: Moss, Gaffney, Manningham, Hankerson, Criner, Paul

T: Williams, Brown, Smith, Schwartz, Polumbus

G: Grubbs, Chester, Hurt, Good, Lichtensteiger

C: Myers, Montgomery

DE: Jenkins, Bowen, Carriker, Gholston

NT: Cofield, Nield

ILB: Fletcher, Riley, Marve, Fox

OLB: Kerrigan, Orakpo, Alexander, Jackson, White

CB: Carr, Wilson, Hayward, Barnes, Thompson, Westbrook

SS: Landry, Guy Jr., Doughty

FS: Otogwe, Gomes

K: Gano/Bullock

P: Rocca

LS: Sundberg

KR: Austin

Well, I'll probably get a lot of flack for this, but at least I had fun playing GM. HAIL TO THE REDSKINS!!!

Here is some great information

No…it is not Washington. I am not going there, but I have always had a soft spot for Campbell. I don’t know if he would have ever developed into a good QB in this league, but I don’t think the merry- go-round of coaches and offensive systems in Washington during his tenure as a Redskin helped his development. In fact, I think it was a contributing factor of his indecisiveness we witnessed of the field. He finally seemed to have found a home in Oakland before his injury, but now with Palmer there, I don’t see the Raiders keeping him. I wish him well, and do hope he finds a system that maximizes his talents, and limits his weaknesses. What team would be the best fit for Campbell? I could see him going to the Jets or Chiefs.

With all the uncertainty going on with the redskins quarterback situation, if they do go the route of Petyon, which, in my opinion, and my opinion only I think is not the answer. Would you think Manning, or even perhaps the Skins organization would talk to Jeff Saturday about becoming our next center? I know he was talking about retired, and to be honest, I dont kno if he did retire.. But lets be honest, it would make sense... And It would def. help out our O line situation. WIth a move like that, along with petyon, you would have to address o line in the draft, and solidify the line..

Everyday we have the same posts for and against trading up for RGIII. Some are well written and argued, some are... well some are for lack of a better word LJP'esk.

This post is short and simple and I would prefer that that we keep that comments section bare (aka take your For or Against arguments to another thread)

Here is the scenario:
FA begins and the Redskins make a play for Manning but lose out to the Dolphins.
The redskins add two young and hungry and competitive Offensive linemen (No big name starters here just 26 Y/O back ups who have performed decently when needed)
The Combine is finished with RGIII showing that he is still fast as shit and an accurate passer, his interviews go well and we are approaching the draft.


What I want to know is where you draw your line, How much are you willing to give up at most to ensure RGIII becomes a redskin. We've all heard the arguments now lets see where the majority falls.

Just for a reference for those who want it the highly debated points chart is after the jump

There is way too much misinformation on Peyton Manning's injury. First of all, a little history.

According to Dungy and Manning, Peyton received his initial neck injury in a game against the Washington Redskins on Oct. 22, 2006. Dungy recalled that " Manning's neck was wrenched and his helmet ripped off when he took a hit by Andre Carter followed by a hit from Phillip Daniels". The hits were legal so do not read anything into that.

When Manning got up he shook his right arm " as if to get the feeling back into it". Peyton took a time out and told the back up QB to be ready. Peyton went on to throw for 244 yards and three TD's in the second half. According to Irsay and Dungy the neck would get aggravated over the next few years but nothing really abnormal.

I know, I know. This again. I am sure many people are tired of talking about this. And yet, reading through the most recent fanposts, it seems that we are not. First I must say that the title of this post is a bit weak for the content of this post. This post is not just about trading up. It is about many things, including trading back, the QB situation, the effect of a QB on a team, what makes a winning team, and so forth.

I am writing this post for 3 reasons:

First, because I think it's a good idea to lay out my full position on this subject in one place. I am leaving on Monday for Coast Guard Basic Training, and therefore will not be around to reply to new posts for at least the next 2 months.

Second, there have been an overwhelming number of fanposts in recent months either directly or indirectly in favor of trading up. This is but one fanpost, but it is my attempt to try and balance the scales a little bit.

Third, this post serves as a belated response to this post by mmford10, which basically sums up the reasons for which most commenters here think we should trade up. It is for this reason that I will also follow a similar format to mmford10's post, as it is essentially the antithesis of said post.
