From Len P's column:
In the three-team trade in which Washington acquired former Atlanta tailback and first-round draft pick T.J. Duckett, the Redskins surrendered at least a third-round pick in 2007 and a fourth-round choice in 2008. The stakes, based on where the Redskins finish in the standings, actuallycould be a bit higher. But in three contests, Duckett has dressed for only one game. The Washington tailbacks have logged 70 carries and he has accounted for only five of them. Wide receiver Santana Moss has as many carries and fellow wideout Antwaan Randle El has only one fewer. Duckett is eligible for unrestricted free agency next spring and, desperate to get to a franchise where he has an opportunity to contribute, it's all but a given that he is gone. Which means that, unless Duckett suddenly makes an unanticipated ascent up the depth chart, the Redskins, who seem to have absolutely no use for the draft at all, will have squandered two middle-round picks and have nothing to show for it.
