They traded the pick to the Bears along with their other #1 to move up to draft Dewayne Robertson.. The Bears turned around and sent that pick to the Pats for Ty Warren.. Neither player (nor team) really benefited from that deal..

Jerome McDougal, Troy Palomalu and Dallas Clark are the only players of impact that were drafted after the 13th pick the Redskins would have had.

On Coles, if he wants to leave then kick rocks, get the hell out.. I would prefer the Redskins try to restructure his contract and make a trade so they can get something for him rather than let him just walk for no return..

To replace him then I'd like to see them go after Derrick Mason and draft Mike Williams to put with Jacobs and Thrash and hopefully McCants to form a formidable WR corps.. Without better playcalling (which Breaux, Bugel and Gibbs all admitted needed to be improved) and QB play it doesn't matter who is on the field..
