<p>The Redskins have finalized their trade with the St. Louis Rams, and it <a href="http://twitter.com/RedskinsInsider/status/22550057304">actually</a> ended up being two trades. In one trade, they sent tight end/fullback Dennis Morris to the Rams for a conditional draft pick. In another, they sent a different conditional draft pick to the Rams for defensive end/linebacker Hall Davis. </p>

<p>We may soon know what kind of compensation the Redskins will receive in return for tight end/fullback Dennis Morris. The Redskins are reportedly evaluating the merits of receiving defensive end/linebacker Hall Davis from the Rams in the trade, <a href="http://twitter.com/MikeJonesTBD/status/22543358226">according</a> to TBD's Mike Jones. </p>
<p>This does not mean they have finalized the trade, but we at least have an idea of where the Redskins are leaning.</p>
<p>Davis was St. Louis' fifth-round pick (149 overall) this year. He played his college ball at Louisiana-Lafayette and was projected by many to go as high as the fourth round in the draft. <a href="http://www.turfshowtimes.com/2010/4/24/1441577/rams-add-hall-davis-with-149th-pick">Here's</a> more on him from SB Nation's Rams blog Turf Show Times.</p>
<p>When asked about the trade, Redskins coach Mike Shanahan said it doesn't make sense to keep a rookie, <a href="http://twitter.com/Rich_Campbell/status/22542543074">suggesting</a> that "the worst thing people do is keep a draft pick just to keep a draft pick."</p>

<p>The <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/teams/washington-redskins" class="sbn-auto-link">Redskins</a> already have <span>Chris Cooley</span> and <span>Fred Davis</span>, but they could use a blocking tight end to replace the departed <span>Todd Yoder</span>. Evidently, that person will not be rookie <span>Dennis Morris</span>.</p>
<p>Why? Morris, the team's sixth-round pick this year, has been traded to the <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/teams/st-louis-rams" class="sbn-auto-link">St. Louis Rams</a>, <a href="http://twitter.com/john_keim/status/22540333784">according</a> to John Keim of the Washington Examiner. Coach Mike Shanahan confirmed the move today, <a href="http://twitter.com/Russellmania09/statuses/22542211461">saying</a> Morris wasn't going to make the team anyway.</p>
<p>It remains unclear what the Redskins will receive in the trade.</p>
