If the season ended today Washington would pick 5th, and Cleveland would pick 6th!! (2004 Sean Taylor).

We certainly have more than one need, all of which cannot be met in one offseason. The FO thinking should be driven by what to do about the QB position, and how to fix the O-line. I would trade down in an effort to get more picks, being careful not to neglect our most glaring weaknesses in the process.

People say trade down like it's automatic.. with today's rookie contracts and the inherent gamble with any top pick, who do you think is going to be desperate enough to want ours?

Trading down at that point is going to be very tough. It would be easier to trade our 2nd round pick down for more picks

You're right it's not automatic but it is something to consider depending on a potential trading partners needs. There's always going to be a team eying that 5-6 position in the draft so it all depends.

Is this for sure? Because I thought it was Cleveland 5th and Redskins 6th?

Cleveland has 3 wins so yeah they would pick in front of us.

I think they have 4 like us, but I still think they pick ahead of us

If you really think about it, we should root for KC to win this weekend. I'm not gonna root against the skins, but if they lose and KC wins, We would pick at #4.

I think they have 4 like us, but I still think they pick ahead of usNFL.com has us picking at #5 if you look at the overall league standings.

Trading down at that point is going to be very tough. It would be easier to trade our 2nd round pick down for more picks

if clausen or bradford is there when we pick, we will have trade partners. if they are both gone, then there will be some issues, imo.

In the 2009 Draft Cleveland traded its first-round selection (5th overall, used to select Mark Sanchez) to the Jets for the Jets' first- and second-round selections (17th overall, traded to Tampa Bay, who selected Josh Freeman; and 52nd overall, used to select David Veikune), Kenyon Coleman, Brett Ratliff, and Abram Elam.[source 1].

A trade is possible.
