Redskins trade down for three picks


The Redskins have traded their 21st overall pick as well as third- and fifth-rounders (Nos 84 and 154) to Atlanta.


In return, the Redskins got two of the Falcons' second-round picks (No. 34 overall and No. 48 overall ) and a fourth-round pick (No. 103 overall). All in all a pretty good trade for the Redskins.


The Falcons used the pick to reach for USC offensive tackle Sam Baker.

I'd say a great deal for the Skins. There were no sure things available at 21, and getting two second round picks gives them a chance to address several needs instead of rolling the dice on someone at 21.

Yeah, trading down was a sensible move. Shocking for The Vinny & Dano, actually.

But, they blew it with taking three receivers with the picks, while many quality linemen, which they need so vigorously, were available (on both sides of the ball).
