The worst thing that could happen to any team today is to draft Brady Quinn..Skins ought to do what the Nats did with pitchers and draft/invite/sign nothing but D-linemen.

The best thing that could happen today is if Cerrato speaks out of turn and Synder fires him.

Ditto. Well said. I'd love to see the 19 yr old playing next to Griffin in the middle.

I didn't think it possible, but the Dolphins front office is dumber than Detroit's.

They passed on Brady Quinn. Seems they feel good about their QB situation.

And taking a WR no less, they must be in a competition.

So, it's either a DB or WR if we keep the 6. That means Landry. You can't spend a 6 on a WR unless you see him as a 1.

So, Landry or trade down?

Dolphins definitely worst pick in a draft ever. Detroit had to take Johnson. That was a no-brainer once Russel went #1.
I like the Skins pick and agree that the Taylor/Landry sounds brutal, but I still think the D-line will end up screwing the secondary.

...joy in this. We are so dysfunctional it isn't even funny. In Bobby's day, the plan was lots and lots of picks, even if, or especially if trading the #1 got you 2 or 3 or 4 later picks and let that staff coach the kids. People forget we were so good because we were deep and we had players who were 4 and 5 and 6 years and longer REDSKINS.

Now, with FA being so wide open plus Snyders nature plus, in all honesty, Gibbs nature, we are like a person who goes to the hardware store to get some lumber because we KNOW we have to BUILD yet we always come home with a new pair of shoes instead because they caught out eye.

We shouldn't even need a safety right now. We have no middle picks because we give them up for trinkets and baubles like TJ Duckett who never even played for us. We've got four picks in a seven round draft and one is a seven and two are 6's.

We are constantly about right now and it does not work.

This is a hilarious yet appropriate analogy.

Landry (source=Post) is considered a good pick...for a team that needs a safety. He isn't much different than Taylor, big bruiser always ready to hit but he has a softness when it comes to covering receivers downfield. His big bro (Ravens) is teh opposite when it comes to coverage and reading offenses. Hopefully this kid can make a difference but I'd rather a D lineman or a LB make the tackle on a RB. (But that's just me and Sam Huff)

...have our nature? Some of us are buyers, some sellers. Some pack rats, some neat freaks. Snyder is a darn good marketing guy; he's all about the sizzle. Flash, excitement, new features, action. He is not the guy you want building a casino; it will not be very functional or flexible. He is the guy you want running a casino.

At the end of the day, Dan is making gobs of money doing it his way and if they happen to win, all the better. As long as he is convinced they are trying then the excuse is always there to wheel in some new slot machines and draw more people even though the floor needs to be replaced and they knew it needs replacing and they meant to replace. Hey! A new slot machine! Let's get 10 and hold a grand opening! The floor can wait...

So, overcoming ones nature, perhaps? I mean, Dan has to fight himself and he has to fight the legend, Joe Gibbs. Bobby Beathard built the old Redskins, not Joe. Joe coached them. When Joe Gibbs says Mark Brunnel is my guy, how do you say no, especially when you're the one who brought on Jeff George? When he says we need Williams and Saunders and 20 other coaches, how do you say no? When he doesn't want a GM, how do you say no, especially if you fancy yourself a GM?

There's a remark in the paper today that NFL insiders all think you need someone as the guardian of the grand plan, to make the tough calls and that most insiders look at the Skins and say 'who is THAT guy?' and the answer is...No one.

Further, what is the 'grand' plan? There really isn't one. Look at us; we may be set at QB for 10 years but our line is going to lose key players the next 1-3 years, Jansen, Samuels and Thomas. We still don't have a good possession WR. We have great, young safeties, but the one guy who matters most in the secondary, Springs, might not even be here this season.

Linebacker? We just got a FA to be the leader???? The leader??? D line has guys who are just about done, Griff and Joe and Wynn and Daniels and no one in their prime. We can't even decide on kickers.

We're a living, breathing band aid commercial.
