Stupid Redskins are stupid.

 

[JDot]

Wow!!

And they are saying a 2 too. Good lord the Rams hit gold.

 

[MP-Logick]

Huge haul...but if RG3 pans out it'll be worth it. Better to build around your franchise QB then not have one at all.

Schefter has it as 3 firsts and a second.

Daniel Snyder has never met a draft pick he didn't want to trade away. Maybe he will trade the #2 pick for Carson Palmer. Then he will complete the circle in turning three #1 picks into a washed up former great player.

I honestly can't think of any player I've ever seen in the draft worth that much to me. I wouldn't give up that much for a 24 year old Tom Brady.

we now know the skins are out of the peyton sweepstakes! Damn, rams are set!

 

[VrabelMayeWin]

Have to see if they're consecutive - also if the Skins sign a big time WR as they've talked about the #1s could be fairly low if RGIII comes through. With Helu and a good defense they could be good. Soon.

Let's also see how another team handles the BB method of loaded draft ammunition.

Or RG3 could be a bust and the Rams got three top ten picks and a top 40 pick for a guy who never played a down in football.

You make that trade every time. The problem here is that RGIII is almost certainly no Tom Brady.

Of course he could. But if they get him a WR he has very low bust potential. Personally I think he will be a total stud in the Shanahan offense.

 

[Gator Mike]

Two firsts and a 2nd to move up four spots?

I'd be PISSED if I were a Redskins fan.

 

[bucky]

RG3 seems like a perfect fit for Shanny's scheme. However, last time Shanny thought he got a franchise QB, he ended up losing his job.

 

[Deus Irae]

If Bradford is legitimate, Washington doesn't get ahead of their AFC rivals, and St. Louis can convert on these picks, that Rams team could be scary in a couple of years.

 

[blackglass3]

Dan Snyder just had to suffer through two years of watching Rex Grossman as his most productive QB...can't blame him for trying to hit gold with Griffin.

 

[Crazy Patriot Guy]

Well let's say we lost those picks starting in 2001. We'd be without Seymour, Light, Graham and Warren. If the trade was made in 2002, we'd be without Graham, Branch, Warren and Wilfork. That's some damn good football players that were key parts of our decade of dominance. Brady is one of the best ever but that's a big part of the core gone.

SANCHEZ EXTENDED!?!?

wtf is going on tonite.
