After being out of town for a week with Mrs. backrow, (35th Anniversary) I just could not understand how we piled up all the quality (?) in the late rounds. Hence (don't you love a sentence starting with hence?) the following breakdown. I'm providing the link and the parts pertaining to the B&G!
Trade tracker: Seahawks get Washington, White
1. Sunday, April 4
Eagles ship McNabb to Washington for second-rounder
Eagles receive:
» Second-round pick (No. 37):
Nate Allen
» 2011 third- or fourth-round pick
Redskins receive:
» Quarterback Donovan McNabb
Analysis: The trade of McNabb to the Redskins netted a high second-round pick, which the Eagles used to get Nate Allen. The Cowboys' selection of Dez Bryant may have forced the Eagles' hand here to add depth to the defensive secondary.
2. Tuesday, April 20
Rams ship Carriker, a former first-round pick, to Redskins
Rams receive:
» Fifth-round pick (No. 135):
Traded to Falcons
» Seventh-round pick (No. 211):
Marquis Johnson
Redskins receive:
» Defensive tackle Adam Carriker
» Fifth-round pick (No. 163):
Traded to Dolphins
» Seventh-round pick (No. 208):
Traded to Patriots
Analysis: Carriker, a 13th overall pick in the 2007 NFL Draft, has started in 25 games in three years and missed the entire 2009 season due to a shoulder injury. In Washington, Carriker will be reunited with Redskins defensive coordinator Jim Haslett, a former Rams coach. More ...

3. Dolphins move in to snag Georgia safety
Dolphins receive:
» Fifth-round pick (No. 163):
Reshad Jones
Redskins receive:
» Sixth-round pick (No. 174):
Dennis Morris
» Seventh-round pick (No. 219):
Terrence Austin
Analysis: The Dolphins continue to upgrade their secondary, this time with a player who had 11 career interceptions in college and earned a reputation as an explosive hitter. The Cowboys countered by selecting a tight end 11 picks later.
(
Backrow's edit: I think the writer meant Redskins, not cow-not-quite-men!)
4. Redskins trade Campbell to Raiders
Raiders receive:
» Quarterback Jason Campbell
Redskins receive:
» 2012 fourth-round pick
Analysis: With Donovan McNabb now the starting quarterback in Washington, Campbell became expendable. The Raiders, meanwhile, were looking for an upgrade at quarterback after former No. 1 overall pick JaMarcus Russell was benched last season. More ...
5. Patriots move to top of seventh round
Patriots receive:
» Seventh-round pick (No. 208):
Thomas Welch
Redskins receive:
» Seventh-round pick (No. 229):
Erik Cook
» Seventh-round pick (No. 231):
Selvish Capers
Analysis: The Patriots further bolstered their depth along the offensive line with Welch, a tight end-turned-tackle. The Redskins hope they have done the same with the two picks they received from the Patriots, adding a center (Cook) and tackle (Capers) to their roster.
