I would trade the #6 for a later first, 2nd, and maybe 5th through 7th, what ever we could get. There are quality players out there to be had.

#56Fanatic, I've thought about the idea you posted about trading the #6 pick, and I think that it may be a good idea, but we should wait until after the combine to decide. I think they shold take Branch with the 6th pick if he's still available, and then Gaines Adams if Branch is gone. But, I want whoever judges talent on our team to be confident that these guys are absolute studs, guys they are sure, although I guess you can never be absolutely sure, that can come in and make a difference. If not, I say trade the pick, and try to build some depth. I'd rather trade the pick and get a few good guys, then use the 6th pick on some big name guy, and have him turn out like Mario Williams. I just want to make sure we use that pick in a way that will help our team the most.

2. The linebacking has to get at least 100% better than it was this year. They need to get a middle linebacker who can actually play middle linebacker without the luxury of a huge DT or two in front of him to keep every blocker on the planet off him. And unless Rocky Boy uses the off-season to figure out what the hell he's supposed to be doing in that defense, they need to find an outside linebacker too because neither Holdman nor Rocky Boy were productive last year. And before anyone talks about Rocky's "potential" let me remind everyone that "potential" means he hasn't done jack-sh*t yet.

I personally thought Rocky looked good this year when he was in the game. He made a lot of big hits on special teams and in the two games that he started he played well. Against St. Louis he had 10 tackles. Against the Giants, he had 7. ESPN.com - NFL - Roger McIntosh - Washington Redskins - Player Card
When you say he hasn't done jack shit, I disagree, ten tackles in his first start is not jack shit. He also made a huge play in the game against the Rams when he ran onto the field late in a 3rd and short and popped Stephen Jackson to stop him from getting the first down. Him and Golston are gonna me money next year.
