I would love Samuels for Gallery straight up, but anything more doesn't make sense.

That
should be the case. It would be truly assinine of the FO to allow themselves to be talked into sacrificing Samuels AND their #5 pick to acquire a replacement for Samuels with the #2 pick.
As others have said, if the Skins are able to acquire Gallery, but retain the #5 pick, then I'm all for it. But as Canuck said, if the Skins have to deal anything more than Samuels for Gallery straight up, then it's a bad deal on the Skins' part. It would be further evidence of how the Skins' irresponsible cap management has had a destructive effect on the roster.
Of course, all of this is likely moot if the Giants are able to pull off a trade with the Chargers to move up to the #1 spot.
