Redskins and Vikings agree on McNabb trade (updated: deal is done)

For a 5th and 7th? Get that deal done asap lol. Am I the only sitting here thinking next year we might be looking at using our first, Oakland's fourth, and possibly this 5th and 7th as trade bait to move up in the draft to get our qb next year? If that's their line of thinking I'm digging that. And also add whatever we might get for Haynesworth.

As far as sources for the 5th and 7th that I'm hearing, I just got that from SS's post in the Skins free agent thread.

Well, you can't move up in the 1st round on the backs of those three picks, but if there's a quarterback of second round value that fits your scheme, those three picks should be more than enough to position the team to get a second tier target.

And yeah, a 5 and a 7 for McNabb's contract is a bargain. It's not that friendly of a deal to the team that is acquiring it, unlike Haynesworth's. Which is why this hasn't gone through yet.

How much did Jacksonville give us to move up 6 spots in the first? A 2nd and what else? Maybe if we threw in our 3rd and Oakland's 4th. Either way all this trading of our players for picks will only give us more ammo in next year's draft, which is a good thing.

Just the two.

Even if we were able to move up from 10 to 7, we still couldn't position ourselves to get a quarterback unless he was falling, and we already saw the falling QB scenario play out with Gabbert, and that we passed on him because taking him would have been counterproductive to rebuilding. Even though the value and need were more than there at no. 10.

No one in their right mind is going to take all those mid to low round picks and move up in the first round to take one of the top QB's next year.

Even if we threw enough of them in? As long as the value matched up, or even if we threw a player in to sweeten the deal, there's no reason it couldn't happen. Doubtful but with all the crazy moves that happen in the NFL is it not possible altogether? I'm not saying we'd give them a 5th and a 7th to move up in the first, but it would certainly be reasonable to think they could make up part of the pot.
