    Washington Trying To Trade Up To Get B. Edwards

    J.Glazer is reporting that Washington has contacted four teams, including the 49ers, in an effort to trade up to get Braylon Edwards, WR of Michigan, in the draft.

    With two picks in the first round, the 'Skins have the wherewithal to make such a trade, but, if this is indeed true, the price for Edwards would be very steep since they already traded their first rounder in 2006 to get the second pick that they have in this year's first round.

    This year's draft is shaping up to be quite a "swap-meet"--which might increase TD's chances of making a deal for the Bills.
    Those who do not learn from the past are doomed to repeat it. And, thus it was that they surrendered their freedom; not with a bang, but without even a whimper.

      Wash will do something drastic and it will blow up in their face. I'd like to see the Bills make a trade...just not with Clements. Trading TH to the draft rich Eagles looks like a good option to me.

        Total Access had an interesting take on the skins trade. They feel they acquired the additional pick to trade with another team for a player. Pat Kirwan was the anaylst on and he feels like Team A said you want _____ we want this. And they went out and got their end of the bargain we will see how it all works out in a little more than 48hours.
        I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
        "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
        You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
        It was all         true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
        He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can         mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

          Translation.......Bills said you want Nate Clements and we want to get ahead of Pittsburg in round 1 to select Matt Jones

                  I would!! We have a premier corner, which demands top dollar in todays NFL, if we trade him we need to get Rolle or Pac-Man to fill in. Personally I prefer Rolle. TD should take nothing less than the #9 but only if the top 2 corners are still on the board.

                    You guys are crazy for wanting to trade Nate for an unproven draft pick.

                      It seems like the team that Washington is possibly talking to about a trade, would have taken what washington gave up for the 25th pick, over the 25th pick itself.

                      The #9 pick, 2nd round pick, 1st round pick (possibly a high pick in a better draft) and a 4th round pick sounds better than the #9 pick and #25 pick

                        There is no way we are getting a first round pick so lets just get it out of our heads.

                        TD was not at all active in FA this off season and it is probably because he is looking to resign Clements to a long term deal this coming off season.

                          The poster with the funniest name is also smart! What the hell do we want to give up a premiere DB-KR for an unproven rookie for. We can franchise him next year unless he agrees before then. Some players need to be paid what they are worth (NC), some get paid what they are not worth (JJ).

                          This is not a farm club where we develop players and then dump them when they hit their stride. Trading Clements for less than a first and second would be dumb.
