Redskins agree to trade for No.2 overall pick in 2012 Draft

Sorry you're not gonna make it

Well geez matty the art could have been worth seeing...why not give him that 11th post then inflict ban ?! :cool-smil

Just to be clear everyone...

The last 2 guys picked 6th in the 2nd Round were:
Ryan Williams - RB - Arizona
TJ Ward - S - Cleveland

Future Hall of Famers, right?

Also... how about these All-Pros selected in the top 10 of the 1st round from 2008 & 2009?:
'09 - Tyson Jackson - 1,3 - KC
'09 - Aaron Curry - 1,4 - Seattle (since traded due to lack of productivity)
'08 - Vernon Gholston - 1,6 - NYJ
'08 - Derrick Harvey - 1,8 - Jax (they released him in 2011)

.... Point is... why does everyone have to talk about the 3 picks we gave up as automatic All-Pro Hall of Fame talent??

Is there a good chance we gave up 3 NFL regulars?? Maybe... But sheesh. How come it seems like everyone forgets that 1st & 2nd round picks are not "locks"... until they are talking about RGIII himself? It irritates me... just saying.

No, but I bet you are. As soon as I heard about the trade, I set about convincing myself of the "glass half full" mentality, which was fairly easy. I'd rather they pull a big gamble like this than settle for a combo of a retread like Orton and a second rate rookie like Cousins.

No doubt about that. I was stoked from the beginning for the player that we got and the ones we didn't get.

But the Griffin gamble to me is not "big" - it's "enormous," even "historic." It makes the Eli Manning trade look small.

I say the Browns, because the fan base is pointing the finger directly at management for letting RG3 basically slip away, even though they had more firepower (more picks and Better picks) than we did.

If they continue losing, I see alot of the fanbase getting fed up with that squad, if they arent already.

MAYBE, but the Rams were basically betting on the Redskins to continue to suck versus getting the Browns late round pick. The Skins 2nd rounder isn't vastly different from that second 1st rounder of the Browns.

I saw it, it wasn't worth it

Rams have zero pressure.
They didnt need to draft a QB this year and moved to the sixth pick where they will get a blue chip player of their choice.
Its nothing but win win for them.

Precisely. In order for the Rams to "lose" in this trade RGIII must win a SB w/ the Redskins and Bradford never win them the big one. If both teams never reach the big game Rams come out ahead simply because they garnered substantial youth from the trade.

So if in 2015 they are coming off of a 5-11 season and 2 of their first rounders are busts that's still a win? What responsibility or even expectation do they have to turn this 'bounty' into a contender?

Since its spread out over three years I doubt they will feel any pressure for quite a while.

I actually just found out that RG3's number 1 deep threat, Kendall Wright ran a 4.61 at the combine at 5'10. I can only imagine what this guy could do with someone like Vincent Jackson.

4.6 in the 40 is a bit slow in my opinion. Griffin, without a doubt, will be able to get the ball down field to receivers with speed.

Yeah I second that.
