The Redskins widely are believed to be interested in moving up from the twelfth thirteenth overall spot in the draft in the hopes of getting in position to select quarterback Mark Sanchez. But owner Daniel Snyder said Friday that his team won’t be trading its first-round pick in 2010 in order to make it happen. “We’re not going to be trading next year’s one,” Snyder said. “We’ve already said that several times. “We’re really not as a franchise comfortable trading first-round draft picks. I don’t think it’s a wise move to keep trading that pick. It’s always a little bit risky.” The Redskins did not exercise a first-round pick in 2008, 2006, or 2003. Last year, they reportedly offered a package worth up to two first-round picks to the Bengals for receiver Chad Johnson.
