Yet Another QB Rumors Thread (Volume 9)

Maybe it won't come down to next year's picks. Perhaps this year's 6th overall and 2nd round pick will be enough to move four spaces to 2nd overall in the draft. I can live with drafting RG3 2nd overall, and not drafting again until the third round. Besides, trading up to only the 3rd overall pick is risky. Although I believe Cleveland won't make a play to move up to #2 in the draft, it still gives them a position to pick in front of us and moving up to 3rd overall would be for nothing. It's better to move up to #2 to ensure we get the player we so desperately need.
Minimum deal would be 1,2,3 this year, and 1st next year. Maybe even a player or more picks.

how bout we trade this years 1st and 3rd, next years 1st, and jim haslett.

Well Haslett would fufill the veteran requirement of the Eli Standard, but I don't know, he's a little underweight to go back to Linebacker. Maybe we can pass him off as a safety.

I agree I really don't want to trade to #3 to get RG3 but if its perceived we are willing too do so lowers the value of the Rams pick. I am just saying we need for the smoke grenade to finish going off before we rush through. Can that backfire, sure, but how much more would we loose having to assume the worst of all possible scenarios by making a deal now.

I would not do that. Thats the rams dictating their initial offer, starting point. The rams have to move alil to the middle imo.

Id offer this years 1st, 3rd and 4th plus next years 2nd with the goal of eventually agreeing to this years 1st, 2nd and 3rd or this years 1st, 2nd, 5th and next years 2nd.

I'd offer this years 1st,3rd and next years 1st. Thats it..

And even that is generous.

Supposedly, that is already the offer we made. If that does not work for you, start looking at Matt Flynn, Kyle Orton, and Payton Manning. If thats your best offer, the question becomes how much would you pay for these guys and in what order. I've got a feeling, the guy that would play for Washington out of this bunch, is Kyle Orton. You decide. The way I see it, we canfill all our big holes in free agency, with our cap room. Hopefully, we dont give a player that we need, like Orakpo. If its a player, I hope its Cooley and or Santana Moss, but that wishfull thinking.

And even that is generous.


I'd be willing to give it for Luck but I'm not as high on Griffin as some are around here. I think he's a really good player and athlete but I don't love his throwing motion and he somewhat reminds me of VY except he's a WAY better teammate and person.. On the field I just see similarities to Young.

I couldn't agree more. Some of the best QB's in the history of the NFL have been pocket passers, Brady, Manning as examples in modern NFL.
