After reading the #4 for Mario Williams ideas, I was sure that I was in the 'draft nightmare' thread.

I wondered what Mary would be worth on the block. Bust or unneeded IMO. Gladly put him in a package with a pick in later levels to sweeten a deal.

Mary?

You realize those were #4 for Mario Williams and #26, right? Mario Williams is 26 years old and better than any DE in this draft. RDE happens to be one of our 5 biggest needs IMO. Maybe one of our biggest 3 needs. AND we get #26, where there seems to be quite a bit of value. Those could turn into Mike Adams and Lamar Miller or Janoris Jenkins.

Of course, I'd only get behind that trade if Luck, Griffin, and Blackmon went in some order of the top 3.

I think that I would go Luck, RG3, and Claiborne at 1,2,3 ..... and if those 3 are gone I would trade down.

I don't like any of the receivers at 4. I think that we can get far better value at the position further down the 1st round. I would not want to invest a #4 overall in a RT. I think that 4 is too high to take Zach Brown, plus Heckert is on record as not liking to take DE or LB in the 1st round ... especially high in the 1st round.

Someone started a "nightmare" thread, and I guess that would be my nightmare .... that Luck, RG3, and Claiborne are all gone ..... and no one wants to trade up for Blackmon.

We could then trade with someone who wants Kalil...I think your scenario is a good dream...not a nightmare.

While I certainly agree with this, it's tough to get a realistic scenario where we can swing this.

I can see if Claiborne is gone, then Richardson becomes Tampa's #1 target. If Griffin is gone then Richardson could become Washington's #1 target, but that almost assumes they already had a QB going into the draft and were not the team to trade up for Griffin.

You can pencil in Richardson no later than #5 if Claiborne is gone at #3, and Blackmon would have to be in stone for the Jags at #7, right?

I think if we want one of those two, we can't move down outside of the "Washington already has a QB and wants a RB" scenario. I suppose it's possible if Wash wants to move Trent Williams over to RT and take Kalil at #4 and we can convince them other people are trying to trade up, but I think that's a stretch. They'd probably be content to wait at 6 and take Richardson, Blackmon, or Kalil... whichever fell.

If Kalil is on the board at 4 when we pick, I think we can pull off an Atlanta type of trade like we did last year to a team that is in need of a franchise LT, possibly with Detroit???

unless Washington steals Tolbert from SD. then they might pass up Richardson.

Signing Tolbert shouldn't have anything to do with drafting Richardson.

I don't disagree with you guys at all. I just don't see Claiborne coming off before Kalil. Kalil is a top-5 talent with multiple teams picking high enough to go and grab him (St. Louis, Minnesota just off the top of my head).
