How a Redskins trade down from 21 could work

It's not enough for Scot McCloughan to want extra draft picks. He must find a trade down partner and the desirable prospects available for temptation.

We can probably all agree that the mind of Redskins general manager Scot McCloughan is thinking about how much he would love to drop down in the upcoming NFL Draft if not multiple times. That doesn't mean Washington needs to move off of the 21st overall selection, though obviously that selection offers McCloughan the best chance at a large haul. If he indeed wants 12 selections, moving down if not out of the first round would be helpful.
