Redskins Send 5th Rounder to Rams for Carriker and a 5th (Swap 7ths)

Pretty good move, but now we are down to 3 picks unless Detroit or Tennessee go for AH and Oakland, Buffalo, Cleveland, take a shot at JC. I don't like what is going on if this theory of going for shedded older linemen is truly their strategy. I can appreciate the " win now" approach, but isn't that the same basic approach Dan and Vinny have been doing all along with these overpaid FAs? I mean we have been doing this getting shedded older linemen/rejects a lot post drating Samuels. I truly hope 2 of our 3 picks are linemen now. WE really could use a small core of younger players to truly build a line around. You can get all the FAs you want in the skilled positions, but I think you truly need to build a line using the draft more than what we have been doing for the past decade.

We didnt lose a pick we swaped 5th's and 7th's. We dropped like 20 spots in the 5th and we jumped three spots in the 7th. We got him for nothing if you think about. In other words we have a front office who are sitting behind a desk and not behind a morning talk show.
