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

skinster · 03-09-2012, 10:43 PM

You gotta be kidding me.....4 high picks for one player including 3 1sts? WTF!?!??!???!?!?!??!?!?!?!??!?!?!? I wanted RGIII incredibly badly, but there is NO WAY any player is worth 3 1sts and a 2nd, and there is no way any team offered anywhere close to that. Ditka looks brilliant in comparison for getting Ricky Williams.

Any chance we at least recoup some picks, like a 3rd or something?

Well, we can always not sign any free agents!

Everyone needs to realize it's 2 1sts and 2nd. We swapped 1st rounders, so when you say we gave up a 1st rounder, it was for a 1st rounder, so that's essentially actually a net gain, since that swap represents four slots at the top of the 1st round.

So 2 1sts and a 2nd. I don't love that it's the 2nd this year and not the 3rd, but hey, if he ends up a top NFL QB, then who cares really? Gotta give to get.

Well, I for one was planning on using this year's 6th overall pick.

Instead of using the 6th, you move up four slots and use the 2nd.

I would give 3 1st rounders for Luck and no one else, no disrespect to RGIII.

We both agreed on this and still do, BUT... What if Indy takes RGIII? Think it could happen?

Good post Scud. In the end it's all about the bottom line (in your post.) If he turns out to be an elite qb, nobody will care about the price we paid to get him.

And on a side note, it definitely feels good to have the qb position taken care of, hopefully for the next decade minimum.
