What are you referring to in terms of price because I just read an article on ESPN yesterday saying that they're looking for a deal similar to what the Chargers got for Eli (2 first, a third, and an old vet) aka the Eli Standard.

I've heard the 1st this year..no big deal cause you're just swaping picks. But a 2nd and 3rd this year and a 1st next year. Plus a starter... let's say Orakpo? Just waaaaay too steep of a price. That's 3 potential starters and a starter for one guy.

The Washington Redskins have apparently identified Robert Griffin III as the player they want in the 2012 NFL Draft and, according to the Washington Post, are willing to part with two first-round picks, as well as other picks, in order to get him. With Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck projected to go No. 1, the St. Louis Rams likely control the fate of Griffin and they've expressed a willingness to trade out of the position for a haul similar to the one the San Diego Chargers netted in 2004.

Two 1st, a 3rd, and a vet. Relax now. This is business. The Allen will be smart.

I don't like what I'm hearing but we'll see what happens.

I say pull the trigger, we need difference makers. depth can come and go on any average off season. We need to start building around a difference maker like RGIII. I'm not saying the other QB's won't be good, but will they be difference makers?

If I'm Allen and Shanahan...I'm drafting this guy, build the team more with the kept draft picks and making the playoffs in 2013. End of discussion.

I'm telling you all the final trade will probably be

2012 1st
2012 2nd
2012 4th
2013 1st
2013 3rd

It's going to be a lot. Unlike the Manning for Rivers trade, there was only 1 team interested, the Giants. This year we have at least 3, Us, Cleveland, and Miami. = Price goes up.

That's robbery. Let someone else overpay.

People say Cleveland and Miami are interested, but nobody is mentioning they might fill those holes in FA. I've heard Cleveland wants to hold onto its' picks and likes Matt Flynn too. Oh what to believe?!!

Black QB's have to prove they're smart enough to play the position just as White players in the skilled positions have to prove they're athletic enough. That's just the world we live in.

I think that is the world you live in, in the real world they are all being measured equally to see if they will be a success in the NFL no matter their color.
