It always make sense to trade down but this team needs some impact players. We can't afford to leave the next Aldon Smith or JJ Watt on board to acquire career back ups.

career back ups ? The Redskins need 4 DBs, 4 OL, 2 DL, 2 LBs, and more - good draft picks will start

Do you think we're going to get all of that in just one draft? Do you think we're going to get half of that is one draft? I don't think we are. As I said, it makes sense to trade back, however, leaving a future star on the board should not be an option. If it's a guy at five that we believe can be a dominate force on one of our fronts I say draft him. I don't think you leave a future star on the board for an extra 4th of 5th round pick. I'm not saying those picks are not important because they are. This team needs a huge upgrade of talent and I believe it's going to take a few drafts before we can get there.

In the 2014 draft, 3 of the top 4 (in the rookie of the year voting) were not top 10 picks A top 5 pick is no guarantee of an impact player - in fact several are major busts. The Redskins have made plenty of mistakes drafting "career back ups", however there is a chance the new staff will make better picks..... and they need as many picks as they can get. They need 5+ contributors from the draft, as well as a solid 5 free-agents. Then they will have a chance for a decent year, and a promising future.

I think you're completely missing the point once again. I'm not saying we have to draft a guy in the top five or the top ten to get an impact player. What I am saying that if we see a guy at five that SM believes will be the next Aldon Smith or JJ Watt we should draft him.

I understand completely, my point is there are plenty of definite impact players like Jamarcus Russell.... if SM uses the #5 pick he better be right - he will probably be offered 3 or 4 high picks for it

If you understood my point why are you still talking about it? I'm for trading back, but I'm not for leaving superstars on the board for the sake of trading back. That was my point.

This guy is a local and a Skins fan where (round ) would you draft him ?

WalterFootball.com: 2015 NFL Draft: Cornerback Rankings

Ronald Darby*, CB, Florida State
Height: 5-11. Weight: 195.
Projected 40 Time: 4.45.
Projected Round (2015): 1-3.
12/15/14: Darby has 37 tackles with four passes broken up this year and has been a solid contributor on special teams as well. He played well against Oklahoma State in the season opener, but had a mixed outing against Clemson. Darby has been a reliable cover corner for the Seminoles. He has good speed and athleticism to run with receivers to prevent separation. Darby also is put together well so receivers can't push him around. His receivers rarely ever get open.

8/27/14: Darby impressed in 2012 with eight passes broken up, 22 tackles and a forced fumble. He had four passes broken up and two interceptions in 2013, but only 14 tackles. With Lamarcus Joyner in the NFL, Darby could take over nickel corner duties for the Seminoles. He has some natural cover-corner skills.

Darby had a part in the Jameis Winston rape investigation. Winston wasn't charged, but Darby was said to be a witness. Darby could have been punished for underage drinking and recording someone without their consent, but the school decided not to punish any of the three players involved.

I would prefer his teammate PJ Williams
