I honestly don't know how people are saying Carriker is better than anything, whether it's a first rounder or a fifth rounder. We're getting a guy who's had two shoulder surgeries and has been playing on a bad ankle since college, the same ankle that has given him trouble two seasons with the Rams.

Does this guy have potential, of course he does. But he's been a bust until now. No other way around it, guys.

Do we hope he pans out, sure. But there's nothing in his brief NFL career to suggest that the Redskins got the better of this deal. If he stays healthy, I'll consider this a good deal for the Redskins. His production on the field is another issue.
