So then do the Browns take the #6 and #39 for the #4 and take Tannehill at 6?I believe this is a real possibility if they make the small trade down...
and despite what you think, there isn't another QB that is better than McCoy available.lol! This is your opinion Irish, and I respect it.....but your wrong. dead wrong IMO.
Outstanding ! 
Eric and Stevie indeed ... :)Blind Faith ... and this is one of the reasons why your TopDawgI was always partial to Presence of the Lord but who's counting ...
PALM BEACH, Fla. -- Redskins coachMike Shanahan explained Wednesday that he knew he had to blow away the Rams with his offer for the No. 2 pick, especially considering the Browns had the No. 4 and No. 22 picks this year.
"That's why we made the offer we made and hoped it would be good enough," said Shanahan at the NFC coaches breakfast. "When they say 'give us your best shot,' you've got to give them your best shot."
The Redskins swapped their No. 6 for the Rams' No. 2, then gave up their second-round pick this year (39 overall) and first-round choices in 2013 and 2014.
"You have to make a decision on what it's going to take to get that pick, especially when you're competing with a few football teams," he said.
He admitted he was sweating out the Rams' decision and had no idea what the Browns were offering.
"Yeah, if affects your future," he said. "Everybody in the organization [was excited]. They understand how important it is to get that guy. They're hard to find. And it usually gives you a chance to get to the big game."
Shanahan confirmed there was no give and take on the bidding with the Browns, that it was a one-shot deal.
"You've got a game plan and you get somebody that will be your franchise quarterback for years to come and it doesn't happen very often," he said. "I was really pleased we got that pick -- to take one of these two guys."
Shanahan consistently referred to landing either Robert Griffin III or Stanford's Andrew Luck, who's expected to go No. 1 to the Colts. But the Colts haven't publicly committed to him yet.
Shanahan, who's known Browns President Mike Holmgren for many years, dating back to their days together in San Francisco, disagreed that relationships between the Rams and Redskins closed the deal.
"You always want relationships with everyone in the league. I have great relationships with Mike and Pat, but at the end of the day, teams are going to go with the best offer. They may like me, but they're not going to give up draft choices for me, I can promise you that."
Shanahan said he still wanted Peyton Manning after making the blockbuster deal.
"Having Peyton Manning and being able to bring up one of these other two quarterbacks would've been a perfect scenario," he said. "I don't think Peyton was very worried about [a rookie behind him]. He's got a lot of confidence in himself."
Receivers, too: Shanahan said he also aggressively pursued free-agent receivers Pierre Garconand Josh Morgan, whom the Browns also tried to sign. Both signed large contracts with the Redskins.
"I think we made the best offer early," he said. "We had a game plan that we were going to get these two guys, and you have to overpay for them a little bit. These were two guys we wanted from day one."
He said it didn't hurt in the recruiting process that the Redskins had landed one of the top two quarterbacks in the draft.
"They understand when you move up to the second pick you're going to find yourself a quarterback in Robert or Andrew," he said. "Those guys are excited. They know what it means to them to have one of those types of quarterbacks."
Browns backer: Commissioner Roger Goodell again said the Browns did not warrant any disciplinary action for allowing Colt McCoy to return to the field after suffering a concussion during the Pittsburgh game. Goodell cited the multiple injuries that occurred on the play as contributing to the problem, and ultimately leading to a new and improved sideline policy.
"The big changes we made since that occurred -- we actually reviewed that during this week -- is the trouble with when you have multiple injuries on one play," Goodell said. "In fact, on Colt McCoy's play, we did have multiple injuries.
"You have medical personnel who are on the sideline trying to monitor what is going on on the field in several different places. By putting the spotter upstairs and having video available, we can assist the medical professionals in identifying when an impact occurs that should be evaluated so the doctor can make the evaluation.
"When doctors have had the opportunity to make that evaluation, they make good judgments. We have complete confidence in that."
Bounty issues: Goodell said he expects to speak with the NFLPA before the end of the week to schedule additional hearings and discussions about player punishment on bounty-rule violations. Browns linebacker Scott Fujita, a former member of the Saints, is one of the players being mentioned.
Never have and never will call McCoy a top 5 QB...but none of the other prospects are any better...sorry, just isn't there.I believe Weeden would be a better third round pick than McCoy. I would even venture to say I'd take him late in the second. All I know is that there is no way I am comfortable with the QB situation consisting entirely of Colt McCoy. I'll give Colt the benefit as of now, but I will not extend that same courtesy to Seneca Wallace. If you keep and run with Colt, they should invest in Weeden. If Colt beats him out, fine. If not then Weeden could be an upgrade IMO. He might not get the nod in 2012, but I have a feeling mid-way through the season into 2013 he will turn quite a few heads. Then when the verdict is completely ruled in or against Colt''s favor, Weedon starts 2013 and Browns pray for a guy like Barkley. Both seasons you have two capable QBs, in case of injury, while they both progress.
