In my opinion, the skins would be ROYALLY screwed over in that trade. Since we don't know the exact position of the 2nd round pick we would be receiving or the position of the skins picks in 2011, its really hard to nail down how much either of those picks are worth. But just as an example, lets say both picks were in the middle of their respective rounds. Here's how your trade would look in the draft value chart:

Redskins give up:

1) Jason Campbell

2) 2011 3rd rounder, valued as a 2010 2nd rounder (midgrade), 48th overall - 420 pts.

3) 2010 4th rounder - 100 pts.

Redskins get:
2010 2nd rounder, 48th overall - 420 pts

So basically, for the trade to be "fair," you think Jason Campbell would be worth NEGATIVE 100 points on the draft value chart.

Lets make a more realistic scenario for us

1) We traded with the Rams, who have the first pick in the 2nd round,
2) the Skins end 2010 in the middle of the pack, and end up with the 16th pick in each round of the 2011 draft. For trading purposes, our 2011 3rd rounder is the equivalent to the last pick in the 2nd round of this years draft, your trade works out this way:

Redskins give up:
1) Jason Campbell
2) 2011 3rd round pick, valued at 2010 2nd round pick, 48th overall, 420 points.
3) 2010 4th round pick - 100 pts

Redskins get:
Rams 2010 2nd round pick, 33rd overall, 580 points

In that "realistic" scenario, youre essentially saying that Jason Campbell, generally agreed to be somewhere between the 15th and 25th best QB in the league, is worth only 60 points on the draft value chart. the 21st pick in the 4th round of the draft (117th overall) is worth 60 points. In a year where there's not a single free agent QB worth mentioning. Do you really think Campbell is that horrible of a QB? Its even worse than what Sage Rosenfelds was traded for.

I'm not a Campbell fan by any means, but he's easily worth a low 2nd rounder - high 3rd rounder.
