Let the wheeling and dealing begin! The first trade of draft week has occured, with the Washington Redskins trading with the Denver Broncos in order to get the #25 overall pick in the draft (1st round) in addition to the #9 overall pick that Washington already has. According to ESPN.com's Len Pasquarelli, this trade was done for one reason, and one reason only - so Washington can draft Jason Campbell in the 1st round with the #25 pick. With both Ronnie Brown and Carnell Williams still currently projected as Top 5 draft picks, and Carlos Rogers expected to go to the New Orleans Saints (16 overall) or Cincinnati Bengals (17 overall), Washington's move makes it a near certainty that 4 Auburn players will be 1st-round draft picks in the NFL Draft this Saturday-Sunday.
