Well at least we have a good first-rounder! Wait we might not!

Ok i haven't heard anyone talk about this angle on the T.J. Duckect trade.
I hate to bring more bad news to this nightmare season but here it goes.
from Greatbluedraft report it explains that if our first round picks are signifficantly different than Denver we would exchange them check it out.
Great Blue North Draft Report if the season ended we would be like pick 5-6 and they are at about 28. Id say thats signifficant. If this happens I think whoever is in charge of player management needs to be fired. Even if it doesnt they need to be fired for stupidity. Denver must be laughing at us soo hard right now!

Denver will receive compensation from Washington as their part of a deal in which the Broncos sent WR Ashley Lelie to Atlanta and the Falcons sent RB T.J. Duckett to Washington. Depending on how the Broncos and Redskins finish in the final standings, the two teams could exchange first-round picks outright if Denver has a significantly lower pick than the Redskins; the teams could flip-flop their first-rounders and the Broncos get a fourth-rounder in 2008; the teams flip-flop their first-rounders and the Broncos get a third- rounder next year; or the Broncos get a third-rounder in 2007 and a fourth-rounder in 2008.

If by lower they mean "later", then Washington is going to end up with a basically useless first round pick, but it's hard to tell from the wording of the article. If by lower they mean lower draft number, that could work in Washington's favor.

I'm thoroughly confused about this.

Am I in a time-warp? Isn't this issue like 6 months old?

[GiantsSuck703]

Heres what happens:
If we end up with a pick that is anywhere near denvers pick we exchange, for instance, if we ended up with the 21st pick and denver had the 29th we would exchange to make up for the duckett deal, we owe denver 260 points on the draft value chart, since we most likely will end up with a top 5 pick or top 10 pick we will not exchange picks because it will go way over the value we owe them, so most likely the difference will be made up with our 5th round pick in 07' and our 3rd in 08', so dont worry about exchanging picks with denver in the first round, there is absolutely no chance this will happen.

If we are the 7th pick or better in the 3rd round, that is all we have to give them

[vaoutlaws2006]

Our front office is a joke. Even if its only a 3rd round pick it wasnt worth it. The trade for TJ shows how panic stricken Danny and Vinny were when portis got hurt. We need to pursue a full time general manager. These thing might not happen with this much regularity if we had proven a Gm. The Danny proved how little he knew about personnel decisions in 2000 and Vinny and Gibbs proved how little they know about personnel decisions this season. If you look at the teams that are consistent in the NFL they dont have big free agent spending sprees and dont trade away draft picks.

The thing is, getting a backup for Portis turned out to be smart since he ended up being hurt the whole season. Not playing that studly backup is what I don't understand (I'm the first person to point out that we should be playing TJ right?)

[vaoutlaws2006]

did we really need a backup at the expense of a possible 3rd round pick? Correct me if i am wrong but i think we were deep enough at rb without Tj....rock, mike and ladell...i think that was sufficient...but the real truth about tj is we signed him just to keep him from a divison rival...another example of our poor front office team.

[onlydarksets]

Sellers isn't a RB, and Rock is, at best, serviceable. Given CP's injury, Duckett is a good move.

Yeah, and keeping him from Philly certainly paid off handsomely, didn't it?!?! I'd rather have the draft pick, even now with Portis injured. That third round pick could end up being a starting DT for example. Even though Portis is now out for the season and TJ could play more (but doesn't seem to be for whatever reason) this is still a dumbass trade.
