does anyone know what picks we have 2005

does anyone know what picks we have. i know we traded 1 away.

We don't have our 2nd round pick (traded to the Saints for a 3rd rounder used to get Cooley, since we traded our 3rd rounder to get Brunell). I also believe we traded a 5th rounder to Philly for Thrash but I can't confirm that.

Damn... that could be a really nice pick for New Orleans to pick up. Cooley has been playing very well for a rookie, so I'm not complaining or saying its not worth it, though. However if thats still a top 40 pick... thats a pretty penny.

WE traded our 3rd rounder for Brunnel in teh last draft. We have all our picks except for our 2nd and 5th.

I am hoping we look at trying to trade Gardiner away before the draft. I have a feeling some team would be willing to give up a 4th or a 5th to get him, he doesn't have much of a future with the club, and we wouldn't take a very big cap hit.

Another possible trade - Samuels (if he is not willing to renegotiate). The cap hit would be substantial, but considering his cap number, we'd actually end up saving some room and I'm sure we could get a #1 for him.

This is Gardner's final year on the contract, I believe. There won't be a trade for him. In fact, I don't think the Skins will even bother trying to re-sign him.

We are going to need a receiver either way. Something tells me that Coles, Jacobs, McCants and Thrash just aren't going to cut it. We need an impact receiver badly.

i'm not sure samuels would gaurantee a 1st round pick... i think gardner could get a #3 though... he's had a 1,000 yard season and is a decent #2...

Gardiner is signed through 2005, when his cap number will be about 2 mill. If we trade him, the cap hit will be negligable.

Also, I'm sure there is some team that saw the highlight reel catches that would be willing to gamble a 4th on him.

Also, considering the contract they signed Coles to last year, I would say they are not in the market for another receiver. It just isn't financially feasible.

Samuels is still owed about 5 million dollars of his bonus, over two years.

His cap number for next year is about 9.6 million - just ridiculous.

If we trade him, I have a feeling we will take take the 5 million dollar cap hit, but save 4.6 million in cap room, which makes sense to me.
