I'm okay with trading down to ten, as long as the Skins get Udeze. But in the long run, I think it's important for the Skins to take a special player like Sean Taylor or Kellen Winslow when they have the opportunity. I think there will be players like Udeze, Smith, Harris et al available in the first round of any draft. I also doubt the Skins will be in position to draft 5th overall again for a very long time (at least I hope so), so it would be a shame to miss out on players of Taylor and Winslow's caliber.

While the defense certainly needs a pass rusher, and taking Taylor or Winslow might not fix our defense this year, I think it's best for the long-term view to get one of those players, and go after the best pass rusher available after the June 1st cuts, or wait till next year. This is not a make or break year, anyway...
