Unless Suh and McCoy go #1 and #2, I don't foresee TB trading down because they really need an anchor for their DL and the first team (other than the Redskins) that might trade with them to get Bradford is Cleveland at #7. KC and Seattle both need QB's but KC somehow doesn't seem to think they do and Seattle made a pathetic trade for Charlie Whitehurst, a #3 QB who wasn't even good in college.

Anyway, Suh and McCoy are rated far above the other DL in the draft and they both would be gone by #7, so I don't think that TB would risk losing one of them if one of them is still on the board when TB drafts.

If St. Louis trades for McNabb and Suh and McCoy go #1 and #2, then TB just might trade down but we'll probably need to wait until they are on the clock on draft day to find that out.

Mike Holmgren is on record as saying that he doesn't like to take a QB in the first round of the draft, for what that's worth. But if Suh and McCoy are already gone when TB drafts, then TB might trade down with Buffalo if Cleveland isn't interested.

My point is that if the Skins want Bradford, a trade of McNabb to St. Louis would not ensure that they would be able to draft him. If the McNabb trade happens, then the Skins would still need to trade up with TB if they want to make sure they get Bradford.
