How far does Aaron Curry have to fall before you would trade up for him?

If he came down to around 10th I'd contemplate it. Move up by trading our first and maybe a young guy we have, take their 10th-ish and maybe pick up a late 3rd or somewhere in the 4th

I agree, if the Skins are going to move up it should be in the 8-10 range. The thing is, by the chart, you are talking about giving up pick #80 just to move that far (and at 10 maybe getting a late round pick back). I don't know what "young player" the Skins are going to dangle that would entice a team much (and not hurt the Redskins) and certainly don't see a player netting the Skins a move up and a 3rd or 4th. I guess the best case scenario would be Jax, GB, or SF seeing value in Golston and allowing the Skins to sub him for the 3rd (and maybe throw in a late pick) in order to move up. That seems kind of generous though. If someone would do #13, Golston, and maybe a 7th to move up I guess I could stomach it. Frankly, though, the only players I'd be happy to see the team move up for are Oher and Orakpo. Both might be worth the price to jump Buffalo. Of course, if the Skins start trading up with Jacksonville it is probably to get Sanchez because Seattle passed on him.

Theres absolutely no scenario in which i would trade up to get Curry and theres no way I'd even consider taking him if he fell to 13. (If he fell to 13, we'd have atleast 10 teams wanting to trade into our spot). As I said in another post yesterday, of our three primary needs (LB/DE/OT), LB is the one we are strongest at now and we have the "easy fix" of getting even stronger at the position by resigning Marcus Washington, who has softened his stance and is willing to come back for the vet minimum.

Drafting Curry would mean our starting RT would be either Jansen or Heyer and our starting LDE would be Wynn and Daniels. I don't know about you, but i'd be pretty satisfied with a LB corp consisting of Mcintosh/Thomas, Fletcher, and Blades/Washington. OT, DE, and even G/C are a greater priority at this point. This draft is incredibly deep at LB and, while Curry is a great talent, I think we'll be able to find a solid starter in the 3rd, or even 5th round.

Fair points, but I thought Heyer was on the verge of something special? Why not let him start at RT and watch him improve?

I hope you're right about that BHA. Where did you see this? C'mon man, don't leave me hanging.

Yeah I said young player but honestly couldn't come up with one. My original plan was to put a name up there but I just couldn't think of someone that someone would give up a 3rd for that was worth about that. Kinda sucks but there aren't many players on our team that others would love to have.. and the ones we do have are worth more than a 3rd, that's for sure.

I definitely wouldn't give up a 1st and a 3rd just to move up 3 or 4 spots though, I can't see that type of value being given for it. Not to say it couldn't happen of course, I just wouldn't value it that way.

I agree wholeheartedly. I wouldn't want to give up that much to move up. Hold on to your hat if Sanchez is still there at #8 though.
