Schefter: Adam Carriker traded to the Redskins (Skins swap 5th and 7th round picks with STL)

[styx491]

Sooooo we gave up a couple of spots in the 5th and aquired a potential bookend DE for the next several years who FITS our system.

I LOVE THIS.

[Superbowl Mohawk]

Sweet!!! Hail!

[zCommander]

i LLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVVVVVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE this move. hes a 24/25 year old STARTER. who has been playin out of position i Stl. hes a natural 3-4 defensive end. this is a great move.

But isn't funny after 3 pages some are still saying we gave up a draft pick to get a former 1st rounder. And that it was a dumb move. I beg to differ.

Sounds to me Shanny wants to win this year and has said screw it to rebuilding. As long as we come out the gate swinging I wouldn't mind.

[skinsfan190]

yes we still have a 5th rounder. We swapped 5ths with them. Now this is a great deal.

[nookiebear]

Wow. Great work by the FO. We got a player for literally bugger all!

That's pretty good then. At least we still have a 5th and a player that can potentially contribute immediately.

Good so we essentially moved down in the 5th round to get a player who was playing out of position. Rams message board I think realized his talent and the fact he was playing out of position:

On the Redskins message boards (ExtremeSkins), they are saying it's a fifth rounder. Still waiting to hear from Schefter though to confirm this. It's sad because Carriker played out of position with us and I can actually see him doing well in a 3-4 that the Redskins employ. Oh well, another mistake by the old regime out the door.

[jimster]

very low risk deal - swapping 5th's?

[Skins199021]

wow great trade then

[Travdaskin]

1st, 4th, 7th. Carriker for a 5th is cool. Carter, Campbell, and Rocky are all candidates to get the pick back. Haynesworth can also get the team picks if need be. No big deal IMHO. No pick is a guarantee, if you see a player who has done something in the NFL that you like get him for the right price. That's what was done.

[TheismannQuote]

So we moved down 28 spots in the 5th round to get a starter....

I'm down with that

We should have been doing this all along!

Eeesh. Dood was picked 13th overall in 2007. Ted Ginn was picked 9th overall in 2007. He garnered less than Ginn.

[Rodriggo]

I'd say the white part doesn't matter. Jared Allen kicks ish around for sure.

"Jared Allen!, Jared Allen!, that's they one!"

I would add Kampman but....that's....about....it.

[Commander PK]

This is how it's done Skins fans. Real professionals running the show. Swapping picks in the FIFTH round? Are you kidding me. That's a steal

[THE HAMMER'IN HOG]

Can't go wrong with that deal, giving up nothing more than some draft spots in the 5th? No complaining allowed!

[postong]

WOWWW...AMAZING move!

[KDawg]

As long as we come out the gate swinging I wouldn't mind.

As long as it's not the swinging gate

[Iced Coffee]

at first i was iffy because of our lack of picks..

but after the news of swapped picks and picking him up.. wel that is great news to me. :helmet:

[ressecup1987]

So basically we went down 30 spots in the 5th for this guy. Good trade imo.

[mdpell]

This is the first move in the history of my Redskins fanhood were I can say that most assuredly got the best deal in a trade.

[JaimeDeCurry]

Wow, they must really have not wanted that dude. Glad we literally gave up nothing for him.

[Travdaskin]

yes we still have a 5th rounder. We swapped 5ths with them. Now this is a great deal.

niceeeeeeeee

[jfriedenthal]

Wow.... What a steal!

[BigMike21]

Well I hope he is good....I remember thinking I wanted to maybe draft him back then.

Adam Carriker-DL-Redskins Apr. 20 - 3:20 pm et

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the Redskins have acquired DT Adam Carriker from the Rams.

The Rams will also send over the fifth-rounder they acquired from Philly in return for the Redskins' fifth rounder. Carriker is essentially being dealt for a swap of fifth-round picks. The Rams wanted to shed salary, or else they're convinced Carriker will never stay healthy. Former Rams coach Jim Haslett has been pushing to be reunited with Carriker since he got the Skins' coordinator job a couple of months ago. The addition of the former No. 13 overall pick makes it much more likely that Albert Haynesworth will be dealt in the next few days.
