You should tell him. Maybe he wants you, too.

Redskins4Life wrote:My dream draft scenario that would tremendously improve our team is this.... We trade Rod Gardner to Tampa Bay for their 2nd round pick. Then heres what we do on draft day:

1st Round- We pray and we pray that USC Wideout Mike Williams drops this far, and if it does happen, it's because hes been away from the game for a year. If Mikes gone we take out chances on Braylon Edwards who is a Roy Williams type reciever (big, great athlete, good speed)

2nd Round- Once again we go with the offensive side of the ball and draft Michigan OG/C David Baas. This guy would become an immediate starter at Center and hopefully a pro bowler in the next two or three seasons. However, he's been rocketing up draft boards this past week after a damn good showing at the Senior Bowl. If he's gone we don't frown, but we smile and take Notre Dame DE Justin Tuck who can potentially become a 15 sack per year player.

3rd Round- Assuming we draft David Baas in round 2, this round we get OLB/DE tweener DeMarcus Ware from Troy State. Similar to Tuck, he has outstanding pass rush potential but he's played at OLB instead of his natural position of DE. More of a developmental pick but still a great pick. If we take J-Tuck in the 2nd round then we hope that LSU Center Ben Wilkerson or North Carolina C Jason Brown is availabe. Wilkerson has had a very successful career with great physical tools, while Brown is more a developmental prospect with BRUTE strength that simply cannot be taught.

4th Round- Everything past the 3rd Round IMO is too hard to predict but I'd love to take a chance on QB Adrian McPherson, former FSU Heisman candidate and AFL Star. Although he's had some past problems he's dedicated his last two years proving to the NFL he can stay out of trouble. This is a guy with tremendous potential, elite speed at QB (only vick will be faster), a cannon arm, and an amazing athlete. If we train this guy to become a pocket passer he can be a Donovan McNabb/ Daunte Culpepper type QB. This past week at the Senior Bowl he has been drawing significant interest from pro teams and although he thinks he'll go in the third round, I think he'll fall to us in round 4

5th Round- Pick belongs to Philly cause of the James Thrash trade

6th Round- Ronald Bartell, CB, Howard university... Although he hasnt faced top level competition at Howard, he's been making a name for himself at the senior bowl and has AMAZING physical tools. At 6-2, 200 pounds and 4.4 speed, he could match up against the Terrell Owens' and Randy Moss' (height wise :D )
7th Round- WHO CARES?

What do you guys think?

Ronald Bartell has great size and can really be a huge surprise pick that develops into a good player. Plus, it would be nice to be able to fill the void at DB when Smoot leaves with someone cheap instead of some free agent. Developing players is what makes the great teams during the salary cap era (see the young corners Randall Gay and Asante Samuel from the Pats). I can't wait to see what sort of numbers he puts up at the combine this saturday.
