Im not even sure. Some reports said we were going to go after Clements and fletcher. But then John Clayton came out and said we would be quiet in FA this year. But I wont believe it until i see it.

I wouldnt mind the fletcher signing (which i think is a very strong possibility with both Williams and Jerry Gray on staff), but honestly, it wont help unless we get a big DT (Alan branch maybe?) to help clog up the middle. otherwise, it wont make a difference.

I thought they were going to trade down in the draft to get more picks?

:laugh2:

I'm already prepared to hear the Commanders mantra...

"Experience > Draft picks"

 

[skinsngibbs4life]

who knows, I think it depends on the situation. I dont think Branch deserves to go as high as 6, so if we want him, I would like to trade down.But if we are targeting a DE, I dont see them moving.

Our best bet for trading down is if one of the two top QB's slips to our spot. Because there would be A LOT of teams interested in moving up to grad Russell or Quinn

I didnt think ya'll have that much cap room.

That has never been a problem in the past. They will do whats needed to make cap room if they really have there eye on a player

according to NFL live earlier today,you're about out of cap room.It might be hard to restructure contracts that are going into their second year.However,I see the Skins cutting a few players too!(like Adam Archuletta)

 

[Future]

I hope the Commanders sign Fletcher-Baker and Clements. Niether one is worth a darn if you ask me.
