Willis picks Seahawks over SKINS

[gully]

This trade down scenario with detroit (13 for 20, 33) has merit and deserves further discussion.

The smart and safe move for DET is to pick Monroe (or Jason Smith) #1 at OT. Excellent OTs are exceptionally rare. I think Monroe will be the pick.

followed by picks #2-12: blah, insert results from crystal ball here. The only important thing is that Stafford *not* get picked in this group. Looking over the first 12 teams, San Francisco at #10 might be the only team where Stafford would make sense, and for purposes of this trade, I hope they go with someone else.

This is where and why the skins can trade #13 for #20, #33: Stafford probably won't make it past the jets at #17. And DET makes this trade to ensure they get Stafford at a much better slot - they almost can't miss with picking Monroe at #1, but Stafford ... who knows? #1 demands way too much guaranteed money. #13 is just right.

They pull the trigger, and we get #20 and #33.

Redskins select Mack at #20 - some say it's a reach, but we can all see the trend in the NFL toward the 3-4, with massive freaks of nature at NT. The skins also don't want Haynesworth accidently killing Campbell in practice by running of Rabach.

In the event of an injury to Dockery or Thomas, Mack moves to G and Rabach moves to C again.

#33: Redskins select Eben Britton to play RT. And I'm spent.
