This doesn't make much sense? If we only swapped 5th rounders then we got him for virtually nothing?

Confirmed: Redskins send their 5th round pick (#132 overall) to Rams for DE Adam Carriker and Rams 5th round pick from Eagles (#163 overall)

Ok got it...thanks! Didn't realize the Rams had a late 5th to trade. Seems like a great trade for the skins.

So the price for Carriker was moving down not quite 30 spots in the 5th round. If he turns out to be the kind of 3-4 DE that we think he is, that is a huge steal by ShanAllen.

He's coming off season ending shoulder surgery, isn't a true DT, and doesn't really fit STL's scheme.

If he's healthy, he's a great fit at 3-4 DE, and an absolute steal for what we gave up.

Just confirmed, I think that was definitely a great move by the Skins!

A solid depth pickup. Daniels can't play forever.

Yes, Adam Schefter reported that we got Carriker for swapping 5th rounders with the Rams (the 5th rounder that they got from Philly).

Great deal for the Skins!

Did anyone out there seriously think that Shanahan was brought in here to "rebuild"?

Rebuilding doesn't exist in the NFL. That is a euphimism that teams like Buffalo and Tampa Bay use to say that they have given up and they are just going to collect TV revenue.

i thought this team was in shambles, i'm just surprised they think we have enough talent on our roster to make a few moves and be a contender. i mean i know zorn wasn't the greatest coach ever i just didn't realize the guy was a freaking moron, and maybe ol bug eyes got it right when he said we had a playoff roster. regaurdless the next few years should be really interesting. and did i menton we f-ing made out like bandits with this trade! we dropped what 25 picks to pick up a former first rounder with a cheap contract.

This team was competitive in almost every game even with the most dysfunctional offensive system in the league and o-lineman off the trash heap.

I think this trade was a steal too. We didn't make trades like this with Vinny.

I don't think the team was ever in shambles, I just think we had an overachieving offense with very little actual talent, and an underachieving defense with a plethora of talent it couldn't use/didn't understand.

With that said, our solutions on offense throughout this offseason have appeared to be some combination of the formula (Mike Shanahan's hubris + the 4th overall pick) = wins!! No research I've ever done suggests that is going to work, but both Shanahan's seem quite convinced that it will. Of course, I would expect nothing less.
