I thought that was a good value trade, and I think the same of this one.

That's a good point. It's a lot like that trade. Hopefully this one turns out better. Not sure if we had any coaching staff ties to James but what may bode well this time is that Haslet actually likes Carriker.

lol I knew that I needed to check Skins news before heading out to cut the lawn.. just got back from DC and was like.. I bet something has happened

we'll probably be more likely to recover that 5th now, even if we give up greater value for it

The 3-4 defense better work or it will be a major set back. Our 4-3 defense was pretty good. It just needed a more aggressive play caller who knows what he is doing and a leader in the secondary.
This change to 3-4 defense has created additional needs on a team that has so many other needs to begin with. Using one of our few remaining picks on DL which was not a real big need when the season ended. I continue to question the logic of this move to 3-4. We still need more LB's as well as Offensive linemen and young RB's.

I think our defense was only good last year becasue basically teams knew if they threw 17 or more points they would win. No need to get tricky on offense when you know the opposing team can't score worth a damn.

Redskins acquired DT Adam Carriker from the Rams for an exchange of fifth-round picks.

The Rams will send over the fifth-rounder they acquired from Philly in return for the Redskins' fifth rounder (the teams also swap seventh-rounders).

WE DIDNT LOSE A 5th. IT WAS A SWAP OF 5TH ROUND PICKS & 7th ROUNDERS

I like the trade. Maybe its because I like Carriker coming out of college, and I think he can be a solid DE in the 3-4. Though, my enthusiasm is tempered abit by that Erasmus James analogy, cause I also liked him coming out of college! :confused-

I have a feeling that Campbell will be moved to St. Louis on draft day.

[Kalisto2010]

For a 5th rounder? GFTO!!! I'm sure Haslett is one happy man.

The roster is jacked up right now, especially the front seven.

"Jacked up" in a good or a bad way?

I just hung up with Vinnie. He tells me this deal will never fly. We'll need to toss in a first and third this year and a contingent 2nd for the next three years if he shows to voluntary mini-camps.
Oh yeah....and redo his contract with say.......50m or so guaranteed.......VINNIE......

[Pocket$ $traight]

The best part about this deal is that Haslett coached Carriker and believes he has some talent. Otherwise they wouldn't have done the deal.

[ethat001]

He has two years remaining on his rookie contract; he is due $1.07 million this season, $1.42 million in '11.
Redskins Insider - Rams trade Adam Carriker to Redskins

He doesn't even have a big contract to absorb. I just don't get why the Rams just gave him away. Guess they thought they owed Haslett something?
