Bump for clarification: It's not their 5th (as in the first pick in that round), it's a 5th they got from Philly (as in closer to the bottom of the round)

but we still have a pick in the 5th?

Thanks, NYCSkinsfan.

Where was he last year? Injured? On the bench?

Cody Glenn is rare... put in real perspective all 32 teams will have passed on these players 4 times and some teams even will have passed on these guys 5 times. While only 13 teams passed on Carriker once when he was drafted.

This doesn't make much sense? If we only swapped 5th rounders then we got him for virtually nothing?

Just confirmed, I think that was definitely a great move by the Skins!

Confirmed: Redskins send their 5th round pick (#132 overall) to Rams for DE Adam Carriker and Rams 5th round pick from Eagles (#163 overall)

Conflicting reports reported.

Adam Carriker

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the Redskins have acquired DT Adam Carriker from the Rams.
Reports differ on the return. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch says the Rams will receive a fifth-round pick while Scout.com's Adam Caplan reports the Rams will send the fifth-rounder they acquired from Philly to the Redskins. Former Rams coach Jim Haslett has been pushing to be reunited with Carriker since he got the Skins' coordinator job a couple of months ago. The addition of the former No. 13 overall pick makes it much more likely that Albert Haynesworth will be dealt in the next few days.

Interesting final statement...

A solid depth pickup. Daniels can't play forever.

Its not like years past when we traded 3rd and 4th round picks for TJ Ducket and Brandon Lloyd. Its not like 2008 when we traded a 2nd and 6th for Jason Taylor. We're not just pissing away our picks. Would I like to acquire more picks - hell yes. But if we dont, i'm satisfied that we traded our picks for players who will fit our system and who project to be starters in 2010, 2011, and 2012, at the least.

The only think i'm upset about is using a 3rd rounder on Jarmon. If we had kept the 4-3, it would have been a great move. however, in retrospect, its a completely wasted pick. Jarmon really doesnt fit anywhere in a 3-4 scheme... I can't beleive we're moving him to OLB.

I hope you are right. It's definitely the best perspective.

And some people were saying package Godzilla in a trade for Carriker... LOL What a joke.

That is why we are on a message board speculating and Shanahan and Allen are paid to do what they do.

I see this as a sign that Phat Albert stays. THE FUTURE IS NOW!

That would be a steal, how much is left on his contract, we've got to be sending AH to them after the draft. DON'T TRADE AH, DON'T TRADE AH DON'T TRADE AH.
