was the armanti edwards trade the worst in franchise history?

anyone who thinks it's anything other than sean gilbert should be banned.

Didn't one of those two Sean Gilbert picks turn out to be the 2nd or 3rd pick overall?

Sean Gilbert trade was terrible, but we got 4 seasons out of him and he had a decent '98 season with 53 tackles and 6 sacks. Players that came close to that productivity this season have been praised as Pro Bowl-caliber by the Huddle.

Armanti Edwards will never have the productivity that Sean Gilbert had. We gave up more for Gilbert, but at least there was SOMETHING there. Armanti Edwards will never sniff the field as an every-down player at either receiver or quarterback. So it's not as cut-and-dry as you think with Gilbert vs. Edwards.

Some players we could have taken in 1999 if we had kept that pick: Ricky Williams, Torry Holt, Champ Bailey, Daunte Culpepper, Jevon Kearse. Some we could have taken in 2000 if we had kept our pick: John Abraham, Shaun Alexander.

One of the picks was the one the Redskins used to trade Ricky Williams to Ditka for his entire draft. The other one ended up being Shaun Ellis twelfth overall. So yeah, that sucked.

[R0CKnR0LLA]

1999 5th overall, which the Skins traded for the Saints entire draft that year and a 1st and 3rd in 2000

2000 12th overall

Could be, but I'll wait to pass judgment until he's played out his rookie contract. Let's get an offensive minded coach that can utilize AE and allow the kid to see the damn field to start.

Agree. Would like to see what a better coach can do with him before we judge his draft value.

We gave up two first round picks and paid him a lot of cash. For Edwards, we gave up a second. Two first rounders means more than one second round even if Armanti never plays another down imo. And I don't agree that its a certainity he will never see the field. With better pass oriented coaching, he might. He certainly has the speed.

[Sam Mills Fan]

It's not just a "second". We gave up a 33rd overall pick (which analysts keep saying more and more is treated like a 1st rounder) for a mid-3rd round pick.

Yeah, but the two picks we gave up WERE first rounders. Very high ones at that. Also we didn't have to pay him 46 million dollars. I don't see how you can think this is close.

[Fiz]

giving up the 33rd overall pick is better than giving up 2 first round picks because the incredibly bad to mediocre player we received in return was physically present on the field at times.

you're the most boring troll on this site and that speaks volumes.
