Just saw this - it's nothing we haven't already seen, but they seem to think we'll stand pat with the #5.
"Washington Redskins
Day 1 Picks: 5th overall (first round).
First Round Priorities:
# Miami DS Sean Taylor
# Oklahoma DT Tommie Harris
# Miami TE Kellen Winslow
First Round Outlook/Trade Scenarios:
While it will be very tempting to trade down in order to get some of their picks back, it makes no sense for the Redskins to trade out of this spot when they could have their choice of three standouts -- TE Kellen Winslow, DS Sean Taylor and Oklahoma DT Tommie Harris -- at their top three positions of need.
After Round 1:
The Redskins have traded away their second-, third-, fourth-, sixth- and seventh-round picks. They did get a sixth-round pick back in a trade with the Bears, leaving Washington with just three picks in the entire 2004 draft -- Nos. 5, 139 and 180."
Also, they address the Samuels rumor in the space about the Raiders:
" The most recent rumor had the Raiders trading from pick No. 2 to No. 5 with the Redskins for OT Chris Samuels. The Raiders would love to do it, because they would get a pro bowl starting left tackle and still be able to draft Roy Williams, but there's no way that the Redskins will do this deal.
The Raiders are likely to get some Larry Fitzgerald rumors started in order to strike fear in the Cardinals to get them to swap picks, but we don't think Dennis Green and the Cardinals will budge.
We are, in fact, hearing an awful lot of rumors about Gallery, but it begs the question of whether or not they are trying to get the Browns to bite in order to trade up. Right now the Browns are in love with Gallery, but from what we hear they will not trade up this high for him. "
