TEAM - 2007 PICKS

Cards - 5
Broncos - 4 (after trades, fewer picks than the Skins!)
Jets - 4 (same as Denver)
Chargers - 6
Redskins - 5

The difference is that all those other teams were able to keep their high round picks (1-4). The Jets traded some of theirs away to move up in order to get Ravis.

If you're going to trade picks away, it's always better to get rid of the later rounds rather than selections in the first three or four.

Certainly you can't be arguing that the Skins should be able to escape criticism for screwing themselves in the draft. When we give up what most consider the best way to build your team for what frequently turn out to be free agent busts, do you honestly expect us not to get called on it?

NY, the Broncos, and the Chargers have all had way more success than the Redskins recently. As long as we keep losing, you might as well brace yourself.
