Yeah, I've got to say that I was surprised that the Redskins did not give up some of next year's picks to secure additional picks this year. I was happy they didn't as I still do not see the logic of trading a 1st for a 2nd this year or a 2nd next year for a 3rd this year.

But, it's kind of hard to swallow that the team gave up this year's 2nd rounder for a guy that they were about to replace with Lance Briggs. That second rounder could have snagged S Eric Weddle, OG Justin Blalock, OG Tony Ugoh, DE LaMarr Woodley, MLB David Harris, FB/RB Brian Leonard, OC Ryan Kalil, DE Quentin Moses, or MLB Buster Davis. Maybe Rocky will be a stud, but their attempt to replace him doesn't inspire confidence. It's similarly hard to swallow that we lost the opportunity to draft guys like CB Marcus McCauley, DT Tank Tyler, S Aaron Rouse, CB Daymeion Hughes, and DT Quinn Pitcock because we traded for Duckett.

With the FO taking a stand on Rocky not being part of the deal for Briggs, I see that as a sign that the Briggs trade talks might have more to do with how unsure they are of Marcus coming back from his major hip surgery than Rocky's ability to be one of the starting lbs.
