If the season ended today Washington would pick 5th, and Cleveland would pick 6th!! (2004 Sean Taylor).

no one. there is no way in hell we trade a top 10 pick down in the first round unless we get the real short end of the stick i have been sayin it for a while but most people on here seem to think all we have to do is say we want to trade picks and someone will come running

I could not said it any better than you did.

Trading down at that point is going to be very tough. It would be easier to trade our 2nd round pick down for more picks

if clausen or bradford is there when we pick, we will have trade partners. if they are both gone, then there will be some issues, imo.

I think they have 4 like us, but I still think they pick ahead of us

If you really think about it, we should root for KC to win this weekend. I'm not gonna root against the skins, but if they lose and KC wins, We would pick at #4.

In the 2009 Draft Cleveland traded its first-round selection (5th overall, used to select Mark Sanchez) to the Jets for the Jets' first- and second-round selections (17th overall, traded to Tampa Bay, who selected Josh Freeman; and 52nd overall, used to select David Veikune), Kenyon Coleman, Brett Ratliff, and Abram Elam.[source 1].

A trade is possible.

i would think that with the salary cap going away, the rookie craziness, as far as the money, would come to an end? is this correct to think this way?

Unless a miracle happens, there won't be a change in the way rookies are paid in 2010 because there won't be a new CBA in place. However, it would seem that a rookie pay scale is part of the current bargaining and such a scale might make it into any CBA which will go into effect in 2011 or 2012.

According to this unofficial site, the Redskins currently have a weaker strength of schedule and thus would pick ahead of the Browns:

Who says we win this weekend since San Diego will probably be playing second stringers? I could see this happening, not that I want us to win, cause we're only hurting ourselves now at this point if we win games cause our draft pick will be worse

I been saying this for weeks finally someone else agreeing, I never understood why everyone wanted us to beat the Saints and every team after that, we are playing nothing now, what? pride! BS, I would play any starters, just assure they wont do anything this late and tear something, I say play all 3rd stingers, bring up others and see what we got, like a pre-season game....... Tank this bitch, I rather pick 4th and get a great player than pick 11th or 12th, and get somebody we dont wont........

Landry was the 6th overall pick compared to Orakpo being selected at 13.
