So you would convert a 1st rounder, who has played and earned franchise tag consideration, into a late pick a couple of years later?
I am curious, what do you think the Skins best and worst moves of the last 10 years was? Not trying to knock you, just curiosity. Also curious what your thought of the best and worst moves that don't involve the Skins at all.

1) It is inevitable that anyone who gets a big long term contract will be less determined... there are plenty of players with big contracts being cut due to lower production or injury
2) You did not see my follow up regarding trading Orakpo.
IF you can franchise him, and trade him I would I know he is worth more than a late round pick...I would take as high a pick as I can get.... as a last resort I would take a late pick instead of nothing
3) The list of Redskins mistakes over the last 10 years is to long to post here. A few examples:
Kevin Barnes as a 3rd round pick, anyone who saw him at MD knew that was a mistake.
McNabb trade
WRs Thomas, and Kelly draft choices.
Plenty of free-agent signings Fat Albert, J Morgan,T Jackson, Jamal Brown.
Recent draft choices, trading up for LeRebius ?, small RBs Thompson and Jameson, OLB Jenkins ?
Good picks P. Thomas, Jordan, and Cousins
