The downside to trading down.

Basically I have no problem with any trade down (providing we have a trade partner) that will render us a player (regardless of position) that will make the roster and contribute this year. I'm not for trading for players we'll have to wait years for them to be ready to play. That would be fine for a team with limited needs, but if the Redskins want to do better than 5-11 this year, we need players that can step in and contribute right away. I've said before, this team is almost set, there's not going to be many additions, therefore the additions we do make must be for quality contributors "now".
