Redskins "trying like crazy' to trade up for a QB

Per John McClain of the Houston Chronicle (and the "Die Hard" movies).

Heading down home stretch to the draft

I don't know what they have to offer, but I hear the Redskins are trying like crazy to trade up to get one of the quarterbacks, Blaine Gabbert, I imagine. Some mocks have them taking quarterback Jake Locker if they stay at 10. What a reach that would be, but Mike Shanahan loves mobile quarterbacks who can throw on the run.

For the record, Marty Hurney says that he has received no calls whatsoever about trade offers, but also says it's "early yet". If the Redskins target is indeed Gabbert, but they think we're sold on Newton, this might not affect us (or it might mean that Hurney and Rivera start talking about how much they like Gabbert).

Also this interesting observation...

It's amazing how teams are worried about outside linebacker Robert Quinn's benign brain tumor that hasn't caused him a problem since his last year of high school, but you don't hear anything about it. All we're hearing, health-wise, is about defensive end Da'Quan Bowers' knee.

Quinn and Bowers are top prospects. All it takes is for one team's doctors in the top 10 to clear them, and they're home free. It's going to be interesting to see if either or both drop. They're a risk, but they could be a steal.

That is way below what we should expect to get for the pick.

I would rather not get fleeced by the Skins for the 2nd time.

The pick is worth whatever we decide it is worth to us. Those charts objectively mean poo. If we truly believe that there is some major talent in the 2nd round, it may only be worth adding a high second. If we really believe Cam (or anyone else for that matter) is going to be an all star, then it could be worth 10 first round picks.

      what does Bryce's 2026 season need to look like for you to be oaky with extending him?

      Baker was traded before he played his 5th year.  RGIII was cut before playing his 5th year. So it is rare but it happens.

      Time to hit 4000 yards and 30 TDs (including rushing). I don't care about INTs anymore. That's a big part of the problem. He plays uber conservative until the game is on the line. Playing not to lose, instead of playing to win. Time to let it friggin rip from the get. The team can win with a pick or 2 if he has 3-4 TDs. Stop playing scared.  But to be fair, his WRs have not been great. You all can bash about 1st round picks and O-line cap all you want.  Chuba as your #1 RB his entire career.  Adam Thielen as your best WR for 2 of 3 seasons is ridiculous. Then a rookie as your best in the 3rd season. Legette is not a 1st round talent. Probably closer to a 4th if you compare him to Brazzel this year. Coker has been a walking injury report. Nothing else to really speak of at WR or TE. Jimmy Horn has potential, but he is not an NFL starter yet. Oline has been better as run blockers than pass blockers. Ickey has always been so-so as a pass blocking LT. Center has been a revolving door for 3 years. Damien Lewis has been as marketed. Hunt is a great run blocker but an ok pass blocker - when healthy. Moton has been solid at RT. Biggest problem with the oline has been depth. When someone went down, their replacement became a glaring weakness. Overall a good but not great unit the last 2 years. 2023 was a ish show. Nothing else to say.  Not one game breaker, take it to the house offensive weapon since DJ Moore. Hopefully we get a little of that from Brazzell.  Either way, in his 4th season, it doesn't matter. You have to be able to overcome whatever comes your way. First 3 seasons with a young supporting cast is defendable. Can't use that anymore though. 3rd year in the offense. 3rd year with the same HC.

      Highest amount of OL salary cap in the league too. The Chiefs are behind us at 2 but we are ahead of them by a cool $23 million. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/position/offensive-line/_/year/2026/table/active/sort/cap_total
