Re: The downside to trading down.

If indeed it is a fact there is no player of need worthy of what a #6 pick will command, then the question becomes; what can we possibly expect by trading down? The Redskins have a track record of not drafting well in later rounds, coupled with their seemingly lack of desire to develop young players of lesser talent. My concern with trading down is the quality of talent, and the length of time it will take to develop them. I would hope for at least one impact player with the ability to start as opposed to two or three developmental projects knowing the teams desire for proven players. A team should not have to wait two or three years to reap the benefits of such a high draft position. This team need to concentrate on improving it's defense "now", and should draft accordingly because it hasn't done enough thus far to make a marked improvement.
