Buy high, sell low.

It’s the Redslur’s way.

How did Snyder EVER make any money?

Horrid.

I don't like it either but I'm not sure the Skins had any leverage.

Personally, I thought he wad overdrafted to begin with.

We shall see.

And it sounded like Denver was the only team interested. Elway has an interest in Cravens that I don't understand. I mean, the guy quit on his team for no reason and was given opportunities to change his mind. And it was reported that he had similar problems in his rookie year. If I'm running a team, no chance I give up anything for him. I wouldn't take him for free.

The problem for the Skins is that they used a 2nd round pick on him. Well, that's a sunk cost, and you gotta move on from that. They did good in this trade regardless of them using a 2nd rounder on him. I wish Cravens well, but it would come as no surprise if he quits on Denver.

He has a cash cow in the skins. There was an article written a few years ago that the team is more profitable as a losing franchise...I wholeheartedly believe that. The moves they make are simply incomprehensible at times.

Should we save time and put Phil on IR now?

He's so much easier to root for than Sua Cravens. Gotta be a future coach - if he wants to be. Good luck to him.

Where's the NFL draft talk ?

I need a Steve McQueen fix. And where's Dats picks.

We got 8 picks and can sure use some help on DL & OL, RB & WR, DB & LB. Maybe a third string QB with a late round pick. A kick returner so crowder won't get beat up and start muffing punts again. Fun to speculate when a team actually has picks in a draft lol.

Oh yeah, what happened to Steve McQueen? I enjoyed his takes, too.

I've had a knack for guessing the Skins 1st round picks about half the time, but I'm always clueless after that. Last year, I don't think anyone expected Allen to slide to their pick. This year... I think they go with the big man - Vita Vea - if he's there. What a difference a dominant NT makes - even if he plays less than half the downs. if someone slides to them unexpectedly and they pick him, it'll be Minka Fitzpatrick. Sounds like they're trying to trade down in the first round to get an extra 2nd or 3rd rounder. The draft value chart says they should get a 2nd rounder if they trade down from 13 to 22. If they pull that off, I'm guessing they pick Guice, the tough Auburn RB. Sonny Michel also has to be considered; not Nick Chubb. Don't pick a WR - I don't have the patience to see another green WR try to figure out the NFL.

Unless Jesus is available at the redskins pick, does it really matter?

Sorry guys. The redskins make people miserable.

...on a side-note, I can't believe RGIII got another job as a QB for a year. Good Luck Ravens.

I'm guessing that will not turn out well, and there will be more whining than winning with RG3.

Thanks but no thanks. He's better than Ryan Mallett and hopefully he never touches the field. Ravens will also draft a quarterback so Robert was just a cheap backup option for Flacco, who is probably done after this year.
