The irony is Washington's original pick was #6. And Dallas ended up picking 6th.

It seems to me that you are implying the redskins were daft and did a very dumb move while the cowboys used acumen to move up skillfully and get the player they wanted.

I think it's comparing way too different situations. Redskins had to compete with another team that had a very big war chest to spend on draft picks for a highly coveted player at the most important position. Supply and Demand.
