It goes back to your whole "spots" argument. Well, they only lost four "spots"..... but what good does that do you if a couple of teams leap frog you in the draft and the best QB left on the board when you draft is Jordan Love. Well, he was only drafted a few "spots" after Burrow so he can't be that much worse right?Deamon said:
I don't even know if you have to think of it has tanking. They should have been playing younger/developmental type players all season long if you trading away all your best players for draft picks imo. Maybe Rosen would have cost them a game or two more than Fitz..... but what good has that done them? They still want to replace Fitz and now Rosen has seen less playing time, has developed less, and the Dolphins are drafting later. Maybe Rosen turns around the end of his season and they have a better asset. Using a guy in his mid-30's to win just enough games you miss out on the QB that you really want just seems completely wrong headed. It's the worst of both worlds.Brunell4MVP said:
No, they could be after 2021 picks, but I would think those hold slightly less value.
What does the spots have to do with anything? Not sure what you're getting at here. My point of that post was that it's not Fitzpatrick's "fault" that he won those games. No players in the NFL purposely try to lose games, and it's not that they 'screwed anything up'. Those words imply they did something wrong, or should be at fault for catching that TD pass rather than dropping it on purpose.
Agreed. Although with the 2020 season somewhat in question there may be less of a dropoff than normal because the 2020 rookies may get fewer practice reps and a smaller season.
Ok so you start Rosen. Maybe he wins as many games as Fitz? You can't simply sit all of your best players in an attempt to lose games. You only have so many players on a team, and if you are suggesting they should have sat Fitz, then should they have sat Parker too? Where do you draw the line? Can you imagine the outrage if all of the starters were simply healthy scratches on game day???? That would never happen.
I never mentioned the word spots in the post you quoted. Is was fully how they should not have purposely dropped passes in order to lose. You're making up arguments where there isn't one and are really stretching here dude. You seem obsessed to respond to every one of the posts and are not even reading them. I think maybe you're a little too invested in the fact that you wrongfully think a team is trading up to #2 for Young. Sorry about your loss but it isn't happening.
Not sure where' you're gong with this. He's 27. But he's one of their more talented players, so sitting him would have been "smarter" according to you.
That's not what I said at all. I said MIA should have been playing their younger more developmental players. To me Parker is a younger more developmental player.... and thus, should have been playing.
A wise man once said, "What does the spots have to do with anything?". And so did you. Eventually.
Ok you're right. Detroit is going to move up for Chase Young. We'll see your brilliance shine on draft night.

1 Spot has everything to do with it. If the team above you does not want that player and will trade down, then you likely don't have to give anything up to still get that player. Each draft "spot" has a value that teams place on it. So yes, how many spots their moving up does matter. The only reason a team at 3 would move up to 2, would be out of fear that another team is trying to get to 2 for that same player. Thee is no massive demand for teams to trade up to 2 for Young. If this is the case in your alternate reality, you should go place a heavy bet on Chase Young not being drafted by the Redskins.

Relax a little, you seem a little fired up. Let's just wait until Detroit DOESN"T trade up one SPOT for Chase Young on Thursday and your ignorance will come to light.
Love the back and forth. There are so many things that can happen, no need for the I was right/wrong. We are all totally guessing, which is the way all these teams should want it. If we know, everyone knows. And letting others know is stupid.
This is shocking to me based on what has been shared previously....I'd honestly welcome that as a Skins fan. No way is he worth a 1st IMO.
I was shocked too but they are speculating that 4 OTs could go in the first dozen picks, if that happens then maybe we are all pleasantly surprised at the return. But Dan said it very matter of fact, like it was almost guaranteed. I hope his source isn't Dan Snyder
All I'm saying is it makes no sense for a team like Detroit to move up one spot (cue triggered response) with a team that doesn't seem to want him that badly anyways. If you're spending the 2nd pick on someone, you better be ####### enamored with him. If Wash is, they take him. If they aren't, let them pass on him and take him at 3. I agree with your 5% chance of Detroit trading up for him but I probably put it closer to the 2%.You guys are killing me
Sounds like they've been officially offered a package for the #2 pick. If Ashburn is doing their job, we will know nothing of this package unless it gets signed, sealed, and delivered.
- could DET trade up? sure I think Young would be huge for them. Will they? Probably 5% chance.
- Is Tua or Hebert worth trading up for? Probably not. Will someone? Maybe 25% chance.
- Can the Skins trade down? Possible. Will they? Maybe 30% chance.
- If they do trade down, who is it with? 95% chance it is MIA, LAC, or JAX. 5% chance it is DET.
- The big one ... if WAS stays at #2, will they draft Young? Now that is probably 99%.
Either way we are in for a fun Thursday and likely a fun Friday regarding Trent.
Baker isnt following trentMy spider sense just told me Cleveland is going to trade for Trent. Baker just started following Trent on twitter.
try following the real Bakermayfield and then look at Trent's page, should tell you if Baker is following him without looking through the whole list
That may not be a bad idea if we trade Trent and don't draft an early 1st round replacement. He struggled at RT as a rookie, which is why they moved him to RG, but he may have improved his technique, etc. enough to make the switch. I think his arms were shorter than ideal for a tackle in general as well.
33 3/8ths according to this http://www.nfl.com/draft/2015/profiles/brandon-scherff?id=2552353 same as Ezra Cleveland
Well that was uneventful. Best offer the Skins would even put in public was something from ATL for #16, probably a 1st next year, and other crap. Too bad nobody wanted these QBs more. Would have been nice to get a haul.
Redskins ####ed themselves by falling in love with the best player in the draft. No one truly believed that pick was available.
If by "other crap" you mean multiple day 2 picks in 2020 and 2021..... you're probably right. Keep in mind if they had traded for pick #16 they would have had CeeDee Lamb fall in their lap at #16.Brunell4MVP said:
I think the run took place for the wrong teams. Now the Browns, Bucs, Jets, and Dolphins will have NO interest in Trent.we need a run on OTs soon...will help our chances to get a solid pick for Trent....
That ATL deal was the best chance. If they wanted to reshape this roster by this time next season that was their best opportunity they will get.
