  1. Burner’s Burning Questions – Offseason Edition: Free Agency, Part Three

    I do love your consistent optimism! I am hopeful about the potential impact Morris will have on the secondary and Hall may be given one more chance accordingly. However, if the cap hit to sign Carr is not much more than the cap savings from cutting Hall than getting a younger guy who is better...

  2. Burner’s Burning Questions – Offseason Edition: Free Agency, Part Three

    Just because we have two CBs that started most of the games last year does not mean we have two starters. I think Josh Wilson is a perfectly fine #2, but Hall is not a #1 and maybe not even a #2. Last year he was like top 5 (in a bad way) in percentage completion against (I believe it was in the...

  3. Burner’s Burning Questions – Offseason Edition: Free Agency, Part Three

    I could see the Skins getting VJax, but I'm with you I like Meachem. I would rather the Skins pursue two younger (albeit less proven) WRs with less red flags and solid upside like Meachem and Garcon. Also, as some have pointed out, a lesser talent like Eddie Royal could be on the radar. I...

  4. Redskins Get #2 Pick!

    Woohoo! High risk, but hopefully high reward!

  5. RG3 will declare for draft

    Thanks for your concern. So did I miss anything likely to impact this situation? I agree with your previous point - if there are two guys in the NFL that you probably don't want to play chicken with (or poker for that matter) they are Allen and Shanahan. Nice change of pace from good ole...

  6. RG3 will declare for draft

    Ok, didn't think there would be much interest in this. My milestones are below - I'd love to hear if there are others that should be tracked. 1: 5-Mar Franchise Tag Deadline, Flynn not franchised = ADV WAS 2: 7-Mar Manning Bonus due -1, Manning cut = ADV WAS 3: 8-Mar Manning becomes FA, if...

  7. RG3 will declare for draft

    Love the optimism. Fingers crossed. So do you think this deal goes down before the draft and if so, how soon? (Might be worth a poll of the board...) BTW, I'm tracking and scoring 7 key RG3 trade milestones leading up to the draft. Milestone #1 was today - no franchise tag for Flynn = advantage...

  8. PFT: Schefter: Rams will trade second pick

    Interesting tidbit. Thanks for passing this along! Like many I'm sure, I've got my fingers crossed that we'll trade for the #2 pick ahead of the draft maybe even as soon as next week. While a number of teams have been thrown out as possible competition to trade up, I think: 1) teams without a...

  9. Burner’s Burning Questions – Offseason, Free Agency - Part One

    Well, if the Skins could actually get Grimes he would represent an upgrade over Hall, so I'm sure they could find a way to make the contracts work. It's not like they're hugging the cap or anything. They could use Hall's own words (down on himself this year) to compel him to restructure. Or...

  10. Burner’s Burning Questions – Offseason, Free Agency - Part One

    Thanks for getting the ball rolling on this BB. Exciting times will be upon us soon! I could see the Redskins targeting a couple of less prominent WRs who are young with some upside like Robert Meachem and Pierre Garcon. Also, a couple of good CB prospects (though very likely could be retained...

  11. QB: Pass on Griffin and Flynn

    It would be great if we could hold onto our 2nd round pick this year, especially in light of the great draft maneuvering last year. However, this seems unlikely. If STL is going to potentially miss out on Kaili or Blackmon they are going to want immediate value in addition to the extra 1st round...

  12. Is Tannehill a reach at #6?

    Agreed. Especially in light of the latest injury news. I'm not sure if Miami would draft him sitting right behind us. If not, Seattle seems like a very likely spot for him to be selected.

  13. 2012 NFL Draft Order - Updated 03/10/12

    Thanks for posting this! I do believe this is accurate with one small correction on the explanation - the 6th for Jammal Brown was conditional based on him playing 90% of the snaps in 2010, which I don't believe he did. However, the Skins traded a 6th to ARI for Tim Hightower, so the net result...

  14. QBs in the 2012 Draft

    Well the Skins lost to MIN so throw out all of those trade scenarios. As to your question, in any other year I would be an advocate of the Skins trading down and acquiring more picks. I'm a firm believer in building through the draft and (all other things being equal) more picks typically should...

  15. QBs in the 2012 Draft

    Yes, the asking price could be higher than what I outlined. It seems like in years past top 5 picks were slightly discounted due to the associated cost to sign the player which is not a concern anymore. It'll be interesting to see what impact this has on the asking price of trading into the top...

  16. QBs in the 2012 Draft

    I agree. What I outlined was a hopeful scenario, not what I would deem the most likely scenario. Making the changes you suggested above, would likely change the orders to be as follows: Order Team W L SoS 1 MIN 2 14 0.567 2 STL 2 14 0.589 3 IND 3 13 0.536 4 CLE 4 12 0.522 5 BUF 5 11 0.522 6 TB...

  17. QBs in the 2012 Draft

    Based on the current SoS which will change of course (but is still a relative indicator of how the tiebreakers might work,) the outcome would look something like this: Order Team W L SoS 1 MIN 2 14 0.567 2 STL 2 14 0.589 3 IND 3 13 0.536 4 WAS 6 10 0.469 5 JAC 6 10 0.500 6 CAR 6 10 0.504 7 MIA...

  18. QBs in the 2012 Draft

    You're right on target. Should IND win next week and MIN and STL lose out, that would bump IND down to 3. This would give the Skins a chance to trade up for a QB - likely RG3. In this scenario, I could see MIA trading up to #1 to take Luck - they need a franchise QB, their owner is flashy, and...

  19. Om Field: The Jimmy Clausen Files

    I agree or worse case scenario at least a Jared Veldheer. Just to echo the sentiment - thanks so much for all the hard work in pulling this together Om! I'm a really bad draft junky so I had seen about 95% of this already, but it's awesome to have it all in one convenient location! One thing...
