What the 6th Pick is worth.....

I agree with much of what you said. Building through the draft is what we need to return to. Trading away over half our picks has hurt us.

What I think many fans and people at Redskins park hold on to is the memory of Lavar and Samuals being picked in the first round, making an impact, and becoming probowl coggs. Who have we picked up outside of the first round who impacts us? Cooley, definetely, Golston, maybe.

The one player that they should look to to understand your point is Dockery. He was not a high pick, and has been able to make an impact in the last couple of years.

Trading Portis should be evaluated, but I'm not sure I'd go there. I think he comes back next year big for us. He is a player who plays hard and cares about winning even after the big payday.

Also, drafting QB's is like drafting WR's out of college. Hit or miss, 30% chance of success. I don't think you trade much to go after guys like that. Think about the Rivers for Manning trade. Just take the best available guy who you think would fit.
