In most cases (as it relates to the 21st pick) probably not, unless a Brady Quinn type fell to you at that spot.

Also a lot of you are fogetting that the best DE's and OL are found either at the top of the first round or in the second and third round. Guys like Strahan, Elvis, Jared Allen, Osi, Aaron Kampman, Jason Taylor, Justin Tuck,Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila, Adewale Ogunleye, Derrick Burgess were all
picked after the first round.

With the OL the general feeling is get an elite LT at the top of the first round and the rest of the OL in the second, third and fourth rounds. Thats why guys who might be one of the top 10 players in the draft like Ryan Kalil end up in the bottom of the second round.

The question here is do we get away giving up just a first round pick or a first and third? However CJ will be a Redskin, at this point its only a matter of time.

You are forgetting that history has shown our current front office can not find DL like Osi and Strahan in the second round or any round. Nobody outside of Redskins fans know who Anthony Montgomery and Kedrik Golsten are. We have not drafted a good DL since 1997 Kenard Lang. That is a long time. It took Gibbs coming back for us to start drafting defensive players again. In the entire 2002 and 2003 drafts we took all offensive players except a 7th round DE. Snyderatto does not understand that defense wins championships.
