The future is never: Redskins allegedly offer two first round picks for a 30 year old receiver
Published 4/22/2008 by Skin Patrol at Hogs Haven
... and a huge chunk of change to get the thirty year old player they want? I vote no, but don't take my word for it, as there will be a poll attached. Elsewhere:
Lee Gibbons at Redskin Report:
Johnson may be an elite NFL receiver, but there is no receiver in the NFL worth two 1st round picks. Even if the performance clauses aren’t met and the pick would have remained a 3rd rounder, its still too much.
AOL Fanhouse:
Cincy's wall comes from the fact that a deal means they take an ...

And so begins the new era of the Redskins. Resisting the urge to up the ante for Chad Johnson, the Redskins instead figured out that trading down for more picks was the way to go. I could quibble with the amount we got in the deal. Because essentially I felt like the 1st and 3rd [...]Redskins Third Pick: Receiver Malcolm Kelly

Posted 4/26/2008 on The Redskin Report
The Redskins have gone with WR Devin Thomas. Thomas was the highest rated receiver on most draft boards. Most mock drafts had him going well before the Redskins original top pick at 21, but receivers have seemingly dropped off the board and he was surprisingly still available even after the Redskins traded down.

Twas the day before the draft and well, I don’t think anyone has much of a feel of what is going to happen tomorrow.??

Not necessarily with the 1st pick, mind you, but the team has a proven willingness for trading up to get mid round picks they have targeted. For example : In 2004, the Redskins had targeted tight end Chris Cooley as a third-round talent. Problem: the Redskins didn't have a third-round pick. Problem solved: the Redskins traded a 2005 second-round pick to be able to draft Cooley with ...Business as Usual

Limus Sweed was the early favorite in a lot of mock drafts to be selected by the Redskins.?? Lately with talk in Washington moving to other prospects, a lot of expert are expecting the Redskins to go elsewhere with their 1st pick.??

The Calais Campbell bandwagon is slowly emptying as the draft gets closer. A few weeks back Campbell was the dominate choice for the Redskins in most mock drafts, but he’s been dropping off draft boards ever since. Its unlikely that Campbell will slip down far enough for the Redskins to snap him up in the 2nd round, so if the Redskins are interested they will either have to snap ...More Rejection for Redskins: Cards Decline offer for Boldin
