There's zero chance of Blackon being there at 15. The only thing that is going to keep him out of the top 5 is a terrible forty time.

By some miracle Peyton does come to DC I would welcome it. (I remeber seeing something on the NFL Network about John Elway calling a play in the huddle that wasnt even part of the gameplan but led to a superbowl victory)Only Manning can come here and do things like that. Getting Manning currently doesnt cost us any draft picks. Some of you are suggesting using the 2nd rd pick on a QB still I say no. To many needs to use that pick for someone who will not start for three years. We have been 20 years without a superbowl I would be all for sacrificing 5 years to Give Peyton the best chance possible to win 1 out of 3 superbowls. I dont think that not drafting a QB in the 2nd rd puts us back 5 years.

Suggestion if Manning is on the team.
Rd.1 Martin OT stanford
rd.2 Jeffery WR gamecocks
RD3 OG or DB

Just passing along what I'm hearing. I think he's a top 7 pick still, but I can see the case against him.

Like I said it isnt my favorite option but neither would parting with multiple 1sts and 2nds. I was kinda on the Flynn bandwagon and for keeping the picks, slightly over RGIII but Im not sure what the plan is anymore lol.

The Redskins need a young QB to groom and doing anything other than this would be seen as a failure. Manning is just another excuse for this stupid franchise to trot out a new jersey for Skins fans to buy.

I don't see the case against him at all though. He has tremendous size and excellent ability to adjust to the the ball. He does have average speed but it doesn't seem to matter as he runs precise routes and still gets open. If he's there at 6 and RGIII is long gone as I would assume he'd be than Blackmon better be the pick.

I hear you, but sometimes we just got to let one go. Peyton seems like the easy out to me. See the quote I highlighted from Moe's post above.

We are in this position because shanny swung and missed twice. Well he is in year 3 now and has backed himself in the corner. I know we badly need a qb, but I would rather us sit on our hands and continue to build this team without a franchise qb than do something stupid. As important as the QB position is, it isn't bigger than the team. Personally, I think there are a good number of options, it is shanny's job to find the one with the best value and future for the skins, future not being 2 years.

I have a feeling that the skins could drop down to 15 and still get Blackmon at the end of the day. There's been a lot of chatter about how the scouts don't think that much of him.

he will be a great pro..i think he is a far better prospect than Julio Jones was

not me.. he plays bigger than his height.. very physical..

You can't draft Weeden and sit him for 3 or 4 years behind Manning. If you draft Weeden in the 2nd round then he must start due to his age. I would much rather just take Tannehill who flashed quite a bit of ability.

I think Manning has 3-4 years tops and Weeden would be 32 in 3 years but he'd be healthy and know the Offense, Id draft him. Tannehill would be fine also, especially because he'll take longer to mature. I just like the Weeden to Blackmon connection lol.
