The logic behind the trade
Posted: Wed Apr 20, 2005 11:22 am
To all of you Redskins youth....check out our first round pick of the 80´s .... What´s that???? aside from Monk and Green we basicly didn´t have a first round choice????
Well yes we almost always traded our first pick....Beathard and Gibbs and if you go back, Allen and Pardee did the same.
But back to my post....I look at it from a couple of angles. First we are in a win now mode, we need players that can help NOW....so who cares about next year draft...
Second, next year we´ll have Cap problems, so having a first rounder will be costly....Specially if we trade or realese Lavar. Better use the pick this year sign it to a cap friendly contract and avoid the hassle next year.
Third, I dont think we are done whealing and dealing...I am sure Gibbs and the F.O. has several options to explore...
Dont be surprise if we trade down from 9 for more picks...or if we trade the 25th pick for Howard or Surtain or maybe...package various picks for both of them.....Like 25th for Howard and 9th for Surtain plus the dolphins 2th and 3th round....
Or if there are no good deals available, then just pick a CB and WR with or Campbell if they really think he´ll be a good one...or whatever...
My point is that I really like this trade, It give us leverage...it gives us ammunitions, we are now a big time player in this year draft.....
Did we gave up too much? I dont think so....maybe instead of the 4th round next year the 6th or 7th would have been better, but hey....I dont think it was ransom pay.
I belive and trust Joe Gibbs....I know this is going to be a brilliant move... mark my words....
