Smoot, is this why you asked about Robertson:
"Defensive line also is an area of interest, but it could be a primary target in the draft. Cerrato has told several agents that he aims to bolster the pass rush, ideally from the interior of the line. The Redskins might talk to the
New York Jets about defensive tackle Dewayne Robertson, who is on the trading block. "
How about that, you got we to give an unbiased opinion of Robertson before I knew the Skins' were considering trading for him. If we can get him for a second day pick that would be great. I think the main reason the Jets are dealing him is to get cap room, but I'll have to look into that.

Broncos?
Robertson, who is a poor fit for the Jets' 3-4 scheme and carries an $11.2 million cap number, is on the trading block, the New York Daily News reports. The Broncos are among a handful of teams showing interest in the 26-year-old defensive tackle, according to the newspaper. Robertson is scheduled to make $9.8 million in 2008 and is signed through 2009. He's produced only 14.5 sacks in five seasons,
but many scouts and personnel people believe Robertson could thrive in the right 4-3 system.
I like it. Hopefully they can get his cap numbers up to speed.
