This isn't the year that we need to go after that one player that can push us over the top if it means sacrificing the chance to build more depth in post ions that desperately need it (OL, DL, CB). Chad is a great receiver and i would love to have him in the "Maroon & Black". If it were just the 21st, i would pull the trigger, but a 1st and a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd is too much

The conditional is based on Chad and
the Redskins reaching certain performance levels. If they have to go to a Super Bowl to make that 3 a 1, then I don't have a problem giving up next year's first round pick if Chad and The Skins make it all the way to the Super Bowl next year. I will admit that I'm biased, I love Chad Johnson, he's probably my favorite receiver in the game, but I think, objectively looking at it, a 1 and next year's 3 isn't too much to give up. If the Skins weren't picking at 21, I'd be against it, but I don't trust anyone out of this draft outside of the Longs, Dorsey, Ellis, or McFadden to step right in and make an impact anytime soon. That said, Chad could and that could potentially make the difference between the playoffs and a losing season.
Also, I'm not a fan of drafting a guy in round 1 and making him sit unless he plays QB.
