Trades of the Shanahan era

Ouch... 4th best on the roster? Tebow has a long way to go. He's a pretty big project considering he was a 1st rounder.

Tim Tebow pick was a joke nice guy but way to high 3rd or 4th round pick yes but 1st please. Ain't mad at TT if you pick me in the 1st thanks.

If Gaffney ends up being our #2 guy (which he almost certainly will be), it is still a good trade b/c Jarmon had done nothing and really struggled in the 3-4

Perhaps he is suggesting that since Jarmon was a 3rd round draft pick that Gaffney for a 3rd is ho hum?

PS...I like Gaffney!
and...I do think Jarmon has potential on a 4-3

This article is dumb. It's making the argument (as seen in the title of the article) that the Redskins have recently been making successful trades, but the argument is predicated on the idea that the players will be successful.

Well, it's just evaluating things as of right now, of course the ultimate judgment of these deals is yet to come.

Yeah I agree there were a lot if's in that article but I would say they have all been low risk high reward expect for the McNabb trade which was a big risk with high reward.

If Gaffney is a threat as a WR here, the Skins probably got the best of the deal - - assuming Jarmon does not light it up in Denver. However, Gaffney has been around for a long time without ever being more than just a guy at WR.

I'd love to be in the position of underestimating him...

It doesn't matter what Jarmon does in Denver. I like Jarmon a lot but he did not fit our system and was not going to contribute here. So even if Gaffney is "just a guy," that's likely more than Jarmon was going to be for us. If Gaffney produces and Jarmon produces, that's a win-win for both teams.

That may be but in the big scheme of things, to me personally, I don't care if our production comes from 1st rounders or from UFAs as long as there is production and the skins are successful. One possible argument is that for a certain pick there is a certain salary and therefore certain expectations -- problem is, I don't care, I'm not paying that guy's salary and whether or not they pay some guy an outrageous signing bonus is not going to make an appreciable difference in my life.

I just realized that Jeremy Jarmon, did not make the roster in Denver. It has probably already been said, but I have not seen it. I thought I would pass it along, so we can have another feel good moment. Also, we got Adam Carricker, by swapping our 5th round draft choice for theirs. A starter for a swapped 5th rounder and a starting receiver for a player that did not make the team. It looks like our front office is making up for years of stupidity, quickly.

Rams are missing WR's now.. I bet we could make a move with Stallworth to them.
