good stuff, but there is Don Banks stating 3 first rounders for the 2nd spot. Usually not a big fan of Banks, kinda a reason why. I expect a journalist to know its not 3 first round picks.
It kinda is. A first round pick this year, a first round pick next year, and a first round pick the year after that = 3 first rounders. Sure the 2nd overall pick cancels this years' first out, but we still had to give it up in the deal. He's not talking about net picks lost, he's talking about the parameters of the deal.
Fact, we gave up 3 first rounders and a 2nd rounder in exchange for the 2nd overall.

It's not?
Its two first rounders, a second, and a swap of 1st rounders this year. St Louis is not gaining 3 first rounders and we are not losing 3 first rounders. Thats the way I see it.

You are correct that it is two first rounders and a second rounder NET.
But most literally, we are giving them 3 first rounders and a second, they are giving us a first. Paperwork filed with the league will show us giving up 3 firsts.

I won't be. I think the athlete/Superman comparison is played out. I'll probably go for the jersey instead.

Anyone else watching McNugget on ESPN First Take. He comes off quite bitter imo. He said Skins misused him.... So im guessing Minnesota misused him as well lol. He also said RG3 is a bad fit for Washington..

I agree with McNabb. How could Shanahan possibly make use of an extremely intelligent, strong armed, track star?
