I guess you could say that the Eagles were smart in acquiring an extra 1st last year by trading back with Carolina, but I think they gave up too much to get Peters and will now have to give him a massive contract. Doesn't look all that brilliant from where I sit. I would be pissed if the Skins made a move like that.

Now, on the "how does this impact the Redskins" side, it does increase greatly the chances that Buffalo goes OT at #11 and increases the likelihood that none of the top four guys falls to #13.

Maybe. I would bet the farm Monroe and the 2 Smith's are gone by then, so basically Buffalo can take Oher or maybe Britton as a reach. Not sure either of those guys would be immediate starters for us. I mean if Jansen really works his ass off as he's said and then comes in determined there are very few guys who will beat him...keeping him healthy for a full season is a whole nuther question. I believe we need to acquire more OL talent before the season, however it's shaping out there will be limited impact talent available in the draft for us. Still, guys like Levi Jones are likely to be availabe by the end of the month. I'd take him over Peters and it'll cost us way less (nothing in draft picks).

...we're gonna be ok so long as the FO doesn't f the puppy and waste the draft on another QB project
