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.

It's obvious that if there's a "superstar" on the board you don't trade back. But you hardly ever know. No one knew about Watt or everyone would've been trying to trade up to #1 or #2.
