Cerrato: "We'd love to trade back and get extra picks, but..."

Per the Official Site:

"[An elite player] has to be available at six for somebody to want to trade up," Cerrato said during an interview with Redskins.com TV's Larry Michael this week. "They'll want to see how [the draft] unfolds. So we may get a lot of calls, or we may get no calls. Starting with the fourth pick, teams will probably call us and let us know.

"I anticipate that there won't be a lot of calls. I think we'll be picking six. We'd love to trade back and get extra picks, but I think we'll be picking six."

That's a bases-covered quote from Vinny, though I adamantly intend to get excited over it nonetheless. It does mean that the Redskins likely won't have a deal in the works to trade down prior to the actual Draft, though there's nothing unusual about that. Without a fair read of how the top of the field is playing out, teams won't know where they want or need to move. Please feel free to speculate how the Matt Schaub to Houston trade impacts our draft.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

I'm not sure...
the trade affects it at all.  The Falcons are probably picking the same player at #8 as they were at #10 (some form of DB, probably a S... maybe LaRon Landry from LSU).  And the Texans are still probably picking OT Levi Brown out of PSU.

This also counts out the Texans from moving up, though I never really expected them to.  MIN has no need to move up unless they feel some team wants a player at #6 that they want at #7.  Like I've said from the beginning of my speculation on the draft and the prospect of trading down, the Skins would need a player like Adrian Peterson or Brady Quinn to fall to #6 AND some other team in the 9-20 range to fall in love with that player enough to give up the price that a #6 pick warrants.  That's quite a few scenarios that have to play out just right for the team to even have the opportunity ti trade down.  The worst thing they could do is trade down and not get the value for the position.

So, if anything, the Schaub deal proves that no one is really wanting to move up in the draft and sacrifice the number of picks it would take to do so.

Maybe Vinny got one right...

Or maybe...
Atlanta accumulated that #2 pick so they could trade up!

Don't you dare crush my dreams, TexSkins.

Think of it as...
me preparing you for the worst.  That way, when the team trades down like we both think they should, you can say "I told you so."
