Skins acquire Broncos 1st round pick

[cooleyhigh]

Just saw it on SC. Broncos get a 3rd this year and I believe the skins #1 next season ehh... needs some clarification but Wash. may be looking to package picks and move up?

Hmm, if this is true the that might throw a wrinkle into the mocks and projections. Who are they moving up for? A QB?

This makes sense for the Broncos, they'll likely get a better pick next year and an additional 3rd this year, which is great.

For the Redskins, unless they had a deal prepared to move up with that pick, why they would pull the trigger before sometime mid-first round on draft day makes little sense. But they could also use that pick to grab a CB and look elsewhere with their top choice if they keep it, so this could shake boards up a bit.

I would guess WR.

If thats the case, the Cleveland and Miami are jumping for joy. They now have another possible team looking to trade up so they will get more for their 2nd/3rd pick

The Redskins have completed a trade with the Denver Broncos that brings them the 25th overall pick in this weekend's NFL draft. The trade gives the team two picks in the first round (No. 9 and No. 25) on Saturday.

In return for Denver's 25th pick, the Redskins have given the Broncos' this year's third-round pick (76th overall) and the Redskins first- and fourth-round selections in the 2006 draft.

The Redskins' list of selections for the April 23-24 draft now consists of the 9th and 25th pick in the first round; a fourth-round pick (112 overall); a sixth-round pick (183 overall); and a seventh round pick (222 overall).

An additional 4th rounder as well? They better have a player they are really high on and land him...

wow... seems like alot to give up for only the #25 overall...

looks like the skins take a DE with the broncos pick...

[mtryanks12]

I could see the reskins selecting a DE with the #25 overall pick. There are a ton of DE's expected to go in the first and seconds rounds, and I'm sure the skins can get their hands on a quality DE, like Erasmus james, who IMO would be available by their pick.

I'll be honest. I don't like the trade. But at least it does make this draft more exciting...We better finish lower than the 25th pick next year!
