How do you know that the Pats are going to pick Landry?
Since offensive and defensive success is predicated on line play, you can't honestly think the Redskins defense would be better off taking a rookie safety over two defensive linemen. If you do, you need one of Al Koken's virtual physicals.
Why do the Eagles only draft linemen with their first round picks year in and year out? Because it makes sense.

Well first off if you would pay attention they are not first round talent, they are second round talent, so it would be stupid to take them in the forst round, but of coarse that is are MO we over pay for talent.
Second if you would pay attention the article refering to this trade said they would probaly move up to take Landry to take over for Harrison.
But does it really matter who they move up and take? If they do move up it's because they see more value with 1 player than with 2!
Please don't compare our personel department with the eagles, as they will actually draft a player that belongs in the first round. But part of the reason they draft lineman is because of there ability to draft other players later in the draft, example Westbrook, we give up the farm for Portis, they take Westbrook later in the draft and he becomes every bit as valuable if not more to them for minimal $, then Portis is for us at 52 million. That is why they can draft lineman, we are not that savvy.
So in closing by all means draft these 2 guys just like we had to give up a #2 this draft for Rocky. Having a need and properly filling it are 2 totally differnet things.
