Do we have anyone we can off-load for Picks.

There are a couple deals that could come up near or on draft day. Just like last year w/the briggs for Rocky & #6 pick that never happened. I could see the tuna offering the #1 for our #21 + a player (actually Rocky might draw some interest if he's healing well).

The problem is that we have a rep for trading up & not trading back to get more picks. With the draft chart points that the nfl has, most teams seem to value their picks more too. At least we are at a place in the draft at #21 where some teams will trade their 2nd round pick to move up if they like a player a lot. It would be sweet to see the Skins get an extra pick or two, even if it's for the following year.

That would be awesome if they could trade down - but like you said most teams covet picks and don't like to trade up. Plus there are a lot of teams that have owners that don't like to fork out massive signing bonuses, so finding any takers to trade down with is all the more difficult - I think a lot of us forget that Dan Synder and Jerry Jones are the rare cases of an owner willing to spend anything to win - if you go to places like Minnesota and other small market cities you'll find owners that either can't or are unwilling to spend the cash to make deals work.
