And even that suggestion is only meant to answer the question "what is he worth to us" not "should we actually want to acquire him".

If you consider that the Redskins are a non-contender in 2011, then obviously, no, trading picks for players is a bad strategy. Hence why I didn't like the Hightower trade as much as others.
