Just saw nfl network say bears are considering trading lance briggs and thier 31st pick for our 6th pick. How do you guys feel about this scenario? Me personnally i rather try to get Landry with our 6th pick.

'SKINS MAKING A PLAY FOR BRIGGS?

Adam Schefter of NFL Network reports that the Redskins and Bears are contemplating a trade that would send the No. 6 overall pick to Chicago for linebacker Lance Briggs and the No. 31 overall pick in the draft.

But didn't the 'Skins learn last year the folly of trying to force a Tampa 2 specialist into Gregg Williams' defense? Though we can't fault Adam Archuleta (one of our sponsors) for taking $10 million guaranteed, the Redskins should have considered more carefully the question of whether the player would fit within the system.

Briggs' success possibly is a product of his role as the weakside linebacker in the Tampa 2 defense, which gives him a lot of freedom to roam in open space and make tackles. As the "will" in a traditional 4-3, will he be as effective?

It's a big risk for the Redskins to take, in our view. But we have a feeling that owner Dan Snyder (who has been uncharacteristically quiet in free agency) is itching to make a big deal, especially at a time when he's rubbing elbows with his 31 partners/competitors at the NFL's 2007 Annual Meeting.

dangit you stole it....but this makes me very excited..playmaker LB next to Marcus and Fletcher.

[skins84]

The Skins are apparently willing to do it.

We could have a pro bowl Linebacker and draft a Dt or a de with the 31 pick.

[Oldskool]

If Dannyboy actually tries this...

[Gilgamesh]

Throw in the second rounder and starting d-lineman not named Tank Johnson and you have a deal.

[Califan007]

If the Skins trade down, I hope it's not for the 31st spot and another LB (no matter how good that LB is)...I've been jonesing for serious D-line help for years. I keep thinking THIS year is when I'll get my fix lol.

the DT from UT,

Oldskool, you said it right!! We jacked up the AA deal and you can't blame him for taking the money. If Gregg Williams faults again and Briggs doesn't pan out, then Snyder should fire his ass!!

[redskns21]

Terrible move, just terrible if we're really considering it. To drop 25 spots down, all for a WLB who, while talented, probably will end up in a similar situation as Trotter did when here. I just can't see the value in that.
