St Louis at #2


stirs

Recommended Posts

I would not be surprised if other teams call their bluff and they do not get the big trade they are looking for. I have read and heard that Cleveland is interested in Matt Flynn, a proven cold weather NFL QB who can run their offense. If they sign him, then they can use number 4 on the top WR in Blackmon possibly and then pick up Richardson or another good back later. I think they would like to keep as many picks as possible to rebuild.

St Louis would then hope someone else would want to move up, but why would the Redskins move? Just let RGIII fall to them. Seahawks are interested, but would ruin their organization with all the picks they would have to give up to move to #2.

FA will clear up a lot expecially if Flynn goes to Miami.

I've seen on twitter that the Redskins are ready to offer the Rams their 1, 2, and 3 round picks and a 3rd round next year to move up. Later that day (yesterday) I saw a report that Cleveland is willing to offer #4, #22, their 3rd round pick this year (or maybe even their 2nd rounder), and then another pick next year.

I highly doubt St. Louis will be picking #2. If they can get Cleveland's to offer their 2nd in the deal, they will have 4 picks in the top 37 this year, which is a very deep class. Also, Cleveland has the upper hand because they pick #4. At that spot, Kalil or Blackmon will be there (or maybe both if Minnesota takes Claiborne). If they swap with Washington, all 3 could be gone.

There have also been several reports saying that the Packers will use the tag on Matt Flynn and then possibly trade him. Although, Flynn has said that he wants to stay with Green Bay as the backup.

The Redskins are my faves to move up. I actually think Cleveland likes the talent level where they are picking. I also think they are not finished with Colt. I think instead they will look for a big play WR and a new more durable RB to replace both Hillis and though he will be on the roster next year Hardesty. I mean they could easily have a first round of T-rich and Hill/Randle or Blackmon and Wilson/ Miller or Polk. Is that better than RG3? Maybe.

I agree, I think Cleveland would be smart to stay put. If they could grab Richardson at #4, then Wright at #22, and use their 2nd round pick for the BPA on defense, I'd say it's better than RG3. Give Colt another shot with some talent around him. If things don't work out, next year's draft has a few very talented QBs as well.

    • Exactly.  You let him play out next season and continue to develop Thorton.  Jackson’s earned his next contract, but his age and the risk of tying up such a large portion of the payroll at one position leads me to believe that we’ll let him walk. In all likelihood, we’ll draft another CB, or two, and bring in some journeymen to fill the roster void, between now and the start of the 2027 season.  That’ll create more balance financially across the roster enabling us to invest in other areas.  
    • As far as the NFCS … I think this division will be hotly contested the next couple of years.   I am tending to pay more respect to both Atlanta and the Saints n terms of how strong they will be moving forward, than not.    I am mixed on Ryan but think they have a decent roster to start with. I don’t think he blundered hiring Stefanski. And that offense can be dangerous with a QB. Plus, defense is arrow up. No 1st round pick, WB issues will dull their effectiveness. Question is, to what degree?   I think Moore is going to be a good HC and can overcome tape that people have on Shough. They need a lot but they were playing with people. Just the way you want to see all the way to the end.    Not sure about Tampa they have Mayfield but I don’t think they can maintain their success and Bowles is not going to last much longer. They have to go through all that. Gonna be tough once it starts. Might already have started.    For us I feel pretty good about Morgan. But less so about our offense, we have some short term RB and OL issues and those things are critical given what we are working with at QB.  Overall, mixed. Like a lot of what I see but some major question marks remain.     
    • Absolutely. If we are talking about a 20 year old youngster. He's a grown-ass man, and he doesn't know what his job entails or how to do it? Maybe he will be better next year! It's the Panther way.
