Henry trade to AZ could be detrimental to Skins

The long rumored now probable trade of Henry from Buffalo to AZ for LJ Shelton could have a huge effect on the Washington Redskins. Arizona picks #8 and has long been thought to take one of the top 3 RBS, however with the trade it is now more likely they will pick CB then before.
Why does this effect washington you ask? Well I am glad you did. Many people have said on here that we should pick one of four players Edwards, Williams, Rolle or Pac Man. Well with this trade the nightmare scenario I have talked about where none are available becomes an increasing possibility. Here is how I see it:

CHI takes Braylon Edwards at #4
TN takes Adam “Pac-Man” Jones at #6
MN takes Mike Williams at #7
AZ takes Antrell Rolle at #8

This is bad on so many levels. I know many of you will just say “well just trade down then". But why would anyone trade up to #9? Sure a quality RB will be there, probably Cedric Benson out of Texas, But I don’t know a team that is going to give up alot to trade up to that spot when RB is so deep in this draft. In fact Cedric could drop a LONNG way. No other team was thought to be targeting a running back in the first round. He may get picked up by Detroit at 10 but that is not a lock and away he could plummet.
