The chart is just a guideline, what teams are actually willing to pay determines the price.

Plus it's already been reported that they're looking for similar comp as the Chargers in the Eli Manning trade. Two 1st a 3rd, a 5th, and a veteran (probably part of the reason the Skins are saying no to giving up a 2nd round pick). They are shooting for three 1st but without multiple high pick bidders like the Browns and Dolphins that goes out the window. Besides Allen and Shanahan have been great negotiators for quite a while now. They'll get a fair trade for that pick.

Which is my point. Could it come down maybe, maybe not. Most teams in the past have stuck to the chart. The Browns are trying to get more then the chart and we balked. The big question is will they lower their standards and be willing to take below the chart? or simply draft the player they wanted and move on.

Peyton Manning: Redskins poised for a hard sell to superstar QB - The Insider - The Washington Post

It's all speculation, but I think the Redskins should pass on Manning. I understand he's the best free agent in NFL history, but this team has to draft their own. Unless they intend to draft a rookie quarterback like Tannehill, Foles, or Weeden to back up Manning, then signing Manning wouldn't make much sense. Grossman and Beck are not good enough to even be back ups. Jonathan Crompton might be another option at QB but we don't know much about him yet. So, maybe they can draft a QB and develop him.

I'm a bit confused by your post

I guess what he's trying to say is that the Redskins should draft RGIII, he just went the way of China to get to that point.

Basically, I was saying that Manning is an aging veteran who is not a long term solution. He'd be a Redskin maybe until Shanahan's contract is up. Drafting RG3 would be much better. Because of the risk involved with Manning, GM Bruce Allen and head coach Mike Shanahan should pass on him. If they do sign him, then they should draft a Tannehill, Weeden, or Foles to learn from Manning and develop. Since Grossman doesn't have a contract and Crompton and Beck does, I'd favor Crompton backing up Manning since Beck isn't a quality back up let alone a quality starter. I hope I'm understood now.

Yes, I missed the word "unless" in your original post which is key to your post

So from that read SS, I get the sense that we are Manning 1st then RG3?

Well I think it's a product of timing also. This afternoon Manning will be free game for anyone.

Doesn't make sense to sit and wait and then what happens, the Cardinals get get Manning, the Dolphins get Flynn, Browns agree to a deal with the Rams for RG3 and we get....Colt McCoy!!!!!

Seriously though, I don't know that one is 100% preferred over the other
