Yeah nobody is going to trade a 2nd rounder for Gardner. 3rd rounder is the best we'll possibly get, while a 4th rounder would probably be considered fair. I mean think about it, the Colts are starting to think about trading Edgerrin James for a 2nd rounder since they are having trouble finding someone who would give up a #1.

A trade down would be nice in my opinion, but I see absolutely no need to draft a WR at any point. If we get one, great. But if we don't, I'm perfectly happy with Moss, Patten, Jacobs, and Thrash. Plus, Gibbs thinks McCants may be able to get involved as a red zone target like he was two years ago. I think Jacobs is due to break out, that's why I'm comfortable with what we have.

A CB is a bigger need. Depending on what happens with Courtney Brown, a DE would be nice. But I'd really love to see them trade down and grab TE Heath Miller. The Skins have no decent blocking tight end, they wiffed on Walter Rasby last year and I'm convinced that the lack of good blocking at TE was a big reason Portis had such a low yards per carry figure. Miller can really block well, plus he's another serious receiving threat with speed to threaten the safeties down the middle. I like the idea of having really speedy wideouts to go deep, Miller to help pave the way for Portis, Miller stretching the field down the middle, and Cooley settling into zones as a safety valve for Ramsey. You'd have all kinds of dimensions built into the offensive attack, I think the field would open up rather well.

I have no idea if the Skins are looking at Miller or not, but I think he'd be a nice addition.
