Rocky trade is a possibility

The voice of reason. And imagine that what Shanahan says publicly (I'm not trying to trade anyone but Jason Campbell) actually jives with common sense.

Campbell also has the most trade value with the least value to us. The only one who might have more trade value is Landry, and any team looking for Landry is probably searching for a "buy low" option anyway.

Rocky is viable trade bait. Thing is we need picks, meaning more lbs to draft. WE are not deep at LB for the 3-4, as I think everyone here agrees with this. Rocky is average at the very best. Yeah, you could only get say a 3rd-5th rounder for him or maybe a straight up trade with a 3-4 LB if we are lucky. Fact is we are going to draft a LB anyway, might as well add another one via trade. We are very thin in most areas of our roster, not to mention overall talent. Taking a 4th round LB for Rocky isn't that bad of a deal.

Just because the previous regime left you with no picks, doesn't mean it makes any sense to trade away starters for more picks.

You bite the bullet, make your four picks, and move on to next season keeping your full complement of picks intact for 2011.

Well, we already took a page from previous regimes and shipped away a 2nd this year and a 3rd or 4th next year for a highly paid 30 something veteran. Not that McNabb was a bad move, just saying.

Exactly! I mean if we trade down, to get picks, I'm 100% for it. Thats what I'm hoping, I want more picks as much as the next guy.

I want to trade Campbell. I'm a huge Jason Campbell fan, but I think if we can get a 4th or better for him, we should trade him.

If they think Haynesworth is a cancer, and they can get something of value for him (2nd or better) than I guess I'll understand... but it makes no sense to trade these guys just to have a few extra picks on Saturday. Honestly, after the 3rd round, I really huge expect guys to maybe make the roster and hope for a couple gems somewhere along the way.

I agree with the "don't trade just to get picks". It would be nice, but really, most of the players we are talking about can start for us or play a significant role. Maybe they only have one year left us, but so what? One less need to fill this year.

Other than Campbell, draft picks for players only makes sense if its a steal by us. Something tells me, in this particular draft, no one is overpaying for average NFL starter which, except for AH, is what we are offering.

Trust me, I am all about throwing lots of darts at the board but not by gutting the roster of reliable starters. If Rocky, Laron, Moss and Carlos are all gone next year with no compensation, so be it. If there is even a season in 2011, it is likely that: 1) We will have at least 6 picks in the draft; and 2) There will be a better class of UFA's out there.

Nobody is worth hardly anything this year. With the exception of Marshall there were really no trades that involved the player's actual worth.. well, McNabb might fit into that mold as well. I don't think we get higher than a 6th or 7th for Rocky.

[CRedskinsRule]

What's just as bad, next year should have a glut of UFA's if CBA stuff doesn't radically alter it, so trade values will be seriously low again. Strange days in the NFL.

I think Landry can do VERY well back at SS, or even at LB if needed after his bulk is complete.

FS is not his position due to his coverage inefficiencies, but he could be a real gamechanger playing closer to the LOS. As long as he keeps his attitude in check, which I believe Shanny will do...he'll be fine for us.

I'd throw last year away for many of our players. It was tough to stay motivated in such a broken system and situation.
