    The Redskins could have addressed a need by drafting Clemson defensive end Phillip Merling in the first round. But Merling recently underwent sports hernia surgery, which made them wary. Instead, he went No. 32 overall to Miami. If Merling proves to be great, the Redskins' decision to trade down and hoard receivers looks like bad value. If he's a relative bust, it looks like great value.
