On the issue of throwing away picks, or rather making moves that as of now look pretty bad, i,e. McNabb, I'm more concerned w/the possibility that Allen & Shan's job is being impacted by Snyder. I'm not theorizing once again that Snyder is "meddling" per se, but I think it would be realistic & plausible that upon their hiring the danny told Allen & Shan that he would step back but he felt the team could be competitive if a good qb was acquired. So, they made that happen.
Now that it's obvious that this team needs so much more, 'rebuilding' can begin. In a counterintuitive way, that 1 trade may have been necessary to truly change things. Look at it as a last-ditch attempt to win now, the new regime had to see if they could do it.
It didn't work out, regardless of who's responsible, and now it's time to move on. I give Shanahan credit at least for not being stuck on that trade & other draft picks like DT. He's made it clear that he's going to put the best guys out there regardless of draft status, salary, etc.
