Trading Down the 1st Rounder next year

With the salary cap situation the Redkisns are in and the amount of current draft picks we have for 2007 left - doesn't it make sense to trade the pick down for multiple picks? I would think this would be the best solution because it allows you to pick up more players (the draft is a difficult science and more picks allows the team to have additional shots at gettig NFL cailber talent) and by moving down is easier to sign these players and give some relief to the cap in the future.

Any chance the Reskins go this route?

That what a smart front office would do try to have as many picks that you could have. But that something that litte Danny and the Gibbster never would ever do. The last time we traded down in the first round was the year that Ramsey got drafted.

Trading down out of a really high first rounder to get multiple picks would require some degree of ingenuity from the front office. I wouldn't trust this crowd to do such a thing.

Casserly could do it. Wonder if Danny could throw him a few million, make him forget about the past?

Caesserly is a hack. What has he ever done? He won a SB with a team he didn't build. Then set forth to ruin a franchise throughout the mid 90s. He was as responsible as anyone for the teams struggles until Gibbs finally came back.

before trading down, you must first evaluate want and need. see whats available, and see what the skins need. i am one who doesn't think the skins lack talent. one or two quality players can make this team a contender, in my opinion

Is the salary cap ever really an issue? as far as I can tell, we just extend contracts into perpetuity...so while we do max pay year, any money above and beyond (needed to sign talent) is simply pushed till a later date (which works until there is a regime change). As for the picks, i agree that it would be smart, but i'm highly skeptical, a more likely outcome would be to trade up in exchange for our 2-4 round draft picks in 2008. What picks do we have in the upcoming draft anyway (that is, which picks have we not traded away?)

I wish we could somehow manage a lower 1st round pick and a late 2nd round.

All of this depends upon how high our first rounder is and who's available in the draft. It's a little premature to think about it.

Casserly accumulated the talent that Gibbs coached to victory. By his own admission Snyder said he fired the wrong guy when he fired Casserly and kept Norv. Gibbs is a great coach but taleent evaluation is not his forte. This team needs a real full time GM. I dont know that Casserly is the guy but the skins need someone to be the GM.

Glad I read this before I finished my three paragraph comment based on the same observation.
