Yeah, I know, but read the damn thing anyway. :D

It is very possible. Gibbs would love to have either Edwards or Williams, and the Bears, Fins, 49ers and Browns would all love to trade down.

Expect the phones to light up....

'SKINS PREPPING FOR MOVE TO TOP?

A league source tells us that the Washington Redskins plan to parlay their Tuesday acquisition of the 25th overall pick in the draft, from the Broncos, into an effort to move into the top four picks, in an effort to snare receiver Braylon Edwards.

It remains to be seen whether a package of No. 9 and No. 25 will be enough to make the move up to one of the top four picks. Recently, the Vikings would neither confirm nor deny our report that the team was thinking about using No. 7 and No. 18 as ammo for a jump to the first, second, or third pick in the draft, likewise in an effort to nab Edwards.

As to the Redskins, they gave up a third-round choice in 2005 plus a first-round and fourth-round selection in 2006 for the Broncos 25th overall selection.

Earlier on Tuesday, 'Skins exec Vinny Cerrato denied reports that the team might trade the No. 9 pick to the Raiders for disgruntled cornerback Philip Buchanon, a former first-rounder from Miami.

Although we're not inclined to take any official team statements at face value this time of year, we can't imagine why the 'Skins would want to acquire yet another former player from the "U," given their recent experiences with receiver Santana Moss and safety Sean Taylor.

And before anyone akses us why the 'Skins don't make a play for Buchanon's teammate, Charles Woodson, remember this -- Woodson is represented by the Poston brothers, and the first order of business for Dan Snyder and company would be to sign Woodson to a long-term deal. Given the still-lingering LaVar Arrington dispute (pitting the Postons against the 'Skins), the chances of Woodson wearing a helmet with the profile of Injun Joe are slim and none.

Regarding the 'Skins-Broncos trade, we previously had reported -- twice -- that the Broncos were desperate to bail out of round one this year. And we never imagined that a deal would be accomplished prior to draft day, when a team would have made a move with a specific target in mind, a la the Bills and J.P. Losman a year ago.

The fact that the 'Skins would make the move four days before the draft, then, suggests to us that the move might have been step one in a two-part effort to land at the high end of the draft order

They also have on the block I assume Rod Gardner to trade to maybe recoup another middle round draft pick

They need a corner -right now them right in front of us at 25 is something I do not like because of that

Going by the famous draft pick value chart, #9 & #25 WOULD be enough to trade up to the #4 overall. Be interesting to see if they make the move.

As for the Vikes, #7 & #18 would be more than enough to make the jump to #3, going by the value chart.

I'd love to see the Skins trade up to #4 and then have the Vikes jump up to #3 and take whomever the Skins had targeted...never happen, but... :evil:

:shock: Did anyone inform the Redskins and the Vikings that Braylon Edwards is not Randy Moss? That's insane. If you're a Vikes fan, you must want to puke hearing this. Basically, You'd have traded Randy Moss AND your #1 pick for Braylon Edwards and Nap Harris. Awful.

If you're a Skins fan, let's just allow everyone to point and laugh at you. Basically, what the Skins will have done is trade Lav Coles, Rod Gardner AND two first round picks for Santana Moss and Braylon Edwards. Awful, awful, awful.
