It would decrease the Redskins rookie pool allotment, but not by a significant margin. A first round pick carries heavy weight in the rookie pool allotment calculation, but replacing one pick with two (say a 2nd and a 3rd or something) makes the net change insignificant. I don't think the cap would be a motivating factor in a trade down from 13. If they make such a trade, the motivating factor would be to simply acquire more players and build depth.
