Just food for thought. The skins were rumored to be willing to give up the #9 pick.. for Phillip Buchanon and the Raiders 2nd
Here is the thing though.. the Skins just traded for the #25 pick and are looking to add a QB.
And Alex Smith or Aaron Rogers could very well fall to #13.
What if.. we offered #13, Buchanon, and #73 for #9 and #25?
here is some values for you
Raiders #38 = 520
Skins #9 = 1350
Skins #25 = 720
Tex #13 = 1150
Tex #73 = 225
Tex #47 = 430
Tex #78 = 200
The original trade.. Buchanon and #38 for #9, Put Buchs worth at 830 (or #20 in draft)
We gave them #47 and #78 which = 630.
Now.. if we gave #13 and #73 (1375) for #9 and #25 (2070) that would put Buchs worth at 695. Less than the Skins were originally going to pay, and more than we got for him.
At #9 and #25 we could grab:
Merriman and Clayton?
Rolle and Pollack?
Rogers and Pollack?
Rogers and Clayton?
Williamson and Pollack?
etc..etc..etc..
We would have no other first day picks.. but it could net us 2 starters.
The good news is, if Smith or Rogers is available at #9 (the Redskins pick).. chances are the Lions, Cowboys, and Chargers are not going to draft him... which would make this a desirable deal for the Skins if they wanted to grab Buchanan and Smith/Rogers... and get an extra 3rd to boot.
The drawbacks of this deal for us.. is that no one we get will be as proven a commodity as Buchanan.. and we would be losing ANOTHER draft pick (since we traded buch and need to replace him.. we need another good CB)
if ya think about it though.. our entire first day draft (prior to buch trade) was worth 2005.. the Skins two first day picks are worth 2070.. and this is a draft that isnt very deep talent wise.. so getting another pick in the first is probably worth more than the 3 other 1st day picks.
