I understand the need for picks. Look at the Pats, they somehow draft people very well and have close to 10-12 picks every year for the draft. Majority of there picks they have are really centered in the third and fourth round, which they have done well with, not to mention drafting Brady in the 6th round. The following website is a statistical analysis of success by position on by round they were drafted (the article is an analysis from 1988-2009).

With all the trades the Redskins made, it irritates me that they have such a multitude of picks in rounds 5-7, where almost no success is possible in any position. It makes me question what Shanny and Brucey have up there sleeves. Not to mention that the Redskins are 30 million under the cap. Seems like with the new team caps they would spend some amount to attain an impact player.
