What is RG3 worth to us?

The Skins have to remember we are only 4 picks away from the Lambs, we can't give up to much to trade up, they want our picks just as much as we want their pick.

Problem with that is that Jacksonsville or Cleveland would be more than happy to leap frog the Skins and get RG3.

Well to be clear, a trade wouldn't happen between Miami and Cleveland before draft day, when the Browns are on the clock.

That is, unless Joe Gibbs is running your team. :doh:

God it's moves like this that made me hate Gibbs 2.0 :spank:

Let's say we don't get RGIII but draft Trent Richardson.

Trent Richardson
Roy Helu
Evan Royster

Good group and while I love Roy Helu he isn't Trent Richardson but will Shanny ever draft a RB 1st round? Even though Richardson could have a Adrian Peterson type rookie impact.


I've said it before, if we draft a RB in this upcoming draft with the two good backs we currently have, I'm driving to DC and slapping the shit out of Shanahan. (both of them)

I hear you and feel the same way but Trent Richardson isn't just "any" running back prospect.

We could get a gold mine for a team wanting to trade up. Shanahan has proved that you can plug in any RB in his system and they be productive. This is a QB driven league now. If our guy is off the board and Richardson is still up there, I would love to be able to trade down for a team wanting him.

And despite being the best available player after the top five, there's people who truly believe that when it comes down to it, Richardson is going to make it all the way to no. 17 when the Bengals pick.

If that's even a remotely accurate assessment of the situation, the Redskins won't be able to get anything for Richardson at no. 6, because any team that wants him can also go to 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, or 13 to get him.

The Redskins should take him though if he's the top offensive playmaker on their board, position be damned. Still, if they trade up to third, none of this is an issue because they can grab Griffin (in all likelihood) or Blackmon/Kalil in a worst case.

The Portis-Bailey trade was horrible for us, I said it when it happened.. You just don't trade a True Shutdown Corner for a RB

He will be there but if you can't trade down I say draft him of course he's plan C but out of all the guys we are linked to skill position wise: Blackmon, Claiborne, RGIII, Richardson. He's the only one I see being there in every scenario.

The 2nd rounder attached to it made it worse but what does that have to do with anything??

I don't think Shanny can survive if he did such a thing, and looking at his drafting history, I don't expect him to draft a RB at that spot. I think he would go QB/CB/OL/WR before he went with RB, regardless of how good that RB rated.
