Ike's future and the 22nd pick overall...

[melroseplace]

if they were serious about Ike, they should've offered El a few less million, IMO. Ike would've been money more well-spent. not that El isn't a good player, but I don't think he's worth the kind of money they put up for him

Not sure what name I called you here...or even what idea you presented. Perhaps if you wrote it at a level easy to recognize by someone with a high school diploma, we might not have this problem...Ya know what? Nevermind.

My guess is it would be Washington's next available first round selection. I haven't found anything that suggests what would happen in this situation.

I posted this before, but its applicable again. IKE HAD ONE GOOD YEAR !!! Do you really think owners are gonna break the bank on the guy ? and give up a 1st round pick? I think IKE has the potential to become a great corner, is he now ... NO. Remember Chad Scott and Dwayne Washington, they both had A GREAT YEAR ......got their contract ...and look what happened. I think we are really overreacting about Ike Taylor. I'm not bashing him, just looking it at realisticlly, IMO.

I certainly have to agree with the above comment, but, more than that I believe the orginisation is playing safe here, I believe they are looking for a higher pick than #22 and by setting a low offer they are making it more realistic for other teams, perhaps they intend to offer a higher sheet to Ike - let us wait and see.

A scenario I like the look of, is that the Rams take Ike and we get their #11 pick now i see Lendale dropping to us, or Santonio Holmes, or dropping back down the opportunities are endless lets be positive

Love Ike, he is a must keep. Although I would have liked to keep Hope, keeping Keisel and Ike will satisfy me enough. but like i said id rather have all 3

And yes, I didn't notice that the Skins don't have a first-rounder this year. I only saw the order on NFL.com, who, for some reason, hasn't updated the draft list. My bad.

So what gives, then? The Steelers are forced to give up a player with NO compensation this year if that goes down?

The Redskins can't sign Ike to an offer sheet unless they have a 1st round pick in this years draft. They would have to workout a trade, like they did for Brandon Lloyd (also a RFA who would have required a 1st round pick as compensation).

The Steelers paid him a middle level tier to see what teams would bit on him, and seeing if someone possibly in the middle rounds would bite. Taylor had an good year, but i think Steeler fans over react to his greatness. C Scott looked really good as well for a couple of years and then he all the sudden couldnt cover his shadow. I cant say for sure, but i dont see a team giving up a first round on a guy who has limited playing experience and missed about 10 INT"s and had some tackling issues. The missed INT's being the worst of it, i would get so mad at him when watching games. I would say if a team did offer us a first round pick for him, i would take it and run and get White.... use Mcfadden and Townsend, Coclough draft another CB in 3rd round and another in 5th. just my opinion of course lol =)

all i know is we better sign ben and troy polamalu up longterm. i can see snyder drooling over them already.

we have to match (which means we might overpay a bit) we get robbed if we give up ike for #22.

If one really believes that LenDale White could become the tailback of the future then yes I'd make that deal. There is a good secondary crop available in the draft this year.

I love the way Ike plays but he does self-promote. And if we start to overpay in the secondary now then what is going to happen when Troy's contract is due. Troy is more valuable than Ike.

This is a slippery slope that the Rooneys should let lil' Danny take his Redskins down.

Umm. Seems like Dan Snyder is suffering from 'Napoleon syndrome.'

[Midnightwriter1]

Agreed !!

the redskins first round pick (22 overall) was part of the trade for clinton portis, so please do a little research before we start posting information that is not accurate
