Redskins Send 5th Rounder to Rams for Carriker and a 5th (Swap 7ths)

Ok, I think I have the details (still no confirmation):

We traded our 5th for Carriker and their 5th

A solid depth pickup. Daniels can't play forever.

why do we need more picks? we traded our 2nd and got a franchise QB. we traded a 5th for a former 1st rounder who Haslett feels will be an ideal DE in our new 3-4. The only picks this new coaching staff have traded have yielded Day 1 starters. Its rare that 2nd and 5th rounders amount to that.

Its not like years past when we traded 3rd and 4th round picks for TJ Ducket and Brandon Lloyd. Its not like 2008 when we traded a 2nd and 6th for Jason Taylor. We're not just pissing away our picks. Would I like to acquire more picks - hell yes. But if we dont, i'm satisfied that we traded our picks for players who will fit our system and who project to be starters in 2010, 2011, and 2012, at the least.

The only think i'm upset about is using a 3rd rounder on Jarmon. If we had kept the 4-3, it would have been a great move. however, in retrospect, its a completely wasted pick. Jarmon really doesnt fit anywhere in a 3-4 scheme... I can't beleive we're moving him to OLB.

I hope you are right. It's definitely the best perspective.

And some people were saying package Godzilla in a trade for Carriker... LOL What a joke.

That is why we are on a message board speculating and Shanahan and Allen are paid to do what they do.

I see this as a sign that Phat Albert stays. THE FUTURE IS NOW!

That would be a steal, how much is left on his contract, we've got to be sending AH to them after the draft. DON'T TRADE AH, DON'T TRADE AH DON'T TRADE AH.

Confirmed: Redskins send their 5th round pick (#132 overall) to Rams for DE Adam Carriker and Rams 5th round pick from Eagles (#163 overall)

seriously am i missing something here??? did he sleep wioth the owners wife or knock up his daughter???

Cody Glenn is rare... put in real perspective all 32 teams will have passed on these players 4 times and some teams even will have passed on these guys 5 times. While only 13 teams passed on Carriker once when he was drafted.Your point is?

My point is that we got someone who's likely to be better than the average 5th round pick. If you look at the whole 5th round in the 2009 draft, there are a ton of nobodies there.

Updating the thread title

This draft is a very deep draft. I feel like many teams are willing to get picks for under-performing players by shipping them out, even if it's a 5th rounder (Holmes, Carriker). But who will be willing to take Haynesworth, Campbell, and possibly McIntosh except for other teams that are horrible with the draft (Oakland)?

Guess I'll say a pray for ol' DC that Jim Schwartz wants Haynesworth back and Oakland/Buffalo miss out on one of the top 4 QBs and will take Campbell for a 4th rder or something.

You are going to say a prayer that we deal our best player to Detroit?

What is Detroit going to give us that replaces Al? Don't say the second pick, we arent' getting that.

A 4th for JC? Not looking likely.

Ok got it...thanks! Didn't realize the Rams had a late 5th to trade. Seems like a great trade for the skins.

Carriker will be better for the skins than anyone we'd draft in the 5th round. Great move. I wonder if this qualifies as the "big move" JLC has been alluding to.

I disagree. Carriker hasn't done anything on one of the worst teams in the league. Teams like Indy find startres on the 0-line in the 5th round. But we didn't lose the 5th rounder, just moved down so it might be worth the risk.
