Now the Rams need to pick wisely...

Skins fans, enjoy watching RGIII running those classic Shanahan bootleg p/a passes - that's going to be a very nice fit.

Da-Phins · 03-09-2012, 09:59 PM

Wow thats a hell of a trade for the Rams.

scottyboy · 03-09-2012, 10:01 PM

dammit, now I can't love RG3. this is rather disappointing

Scotty D · 03-09-2012, 10:01 PM

Now you have Vick, Romo, Eli and RG III in one division.

WMD · 03-09-2012, 10:02 PM

Wwwwwwwoooooooooowwwwwwww

It's a huge amount to give up for an unknown, this is the type of decision that can potentially cripple a franchise for half a decade.

I hate when they say they traded 3 #1 picks because they basically swapped picks this year and only traded 2 #1's

Or it makes them great because they have balls to make risky moves.

Who knows who the Rams will take now... Blackmon if he falls there, Fletcher Cox a possibility?

Even if RGIII pans out, Washington isn't exactly stocked with talent, and now they just gave up their best tools to build a team around him.

Let's hope for the 'Skins sake it works out a little bit better.

I think Claiborne and Blackmon will go in the 4th and 5th picks (in either order). At that point I think the Rams would either look at Reiff or one of the DT (Poe or Cox)

Per Schefter: Trade will not change Redskins plans in pursuing Peyton Manning. Intend to talk with and try to sign him, even if considered a longshot.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!

J-Mike88 · 03-09-2012, 10:12 PM

Next up...... Peyton to Arizona.
Flynn to Miami.
Kolb to Cleveland.

TheFinisher · 03-09-2012, 10:14 PM

I love the trade, 2 1sts and a 2nd is worth it if he pans out.

Two. They only have one first this year.

BaLLiN · 03-09-2012, 10:15 PM

Risky, bold, and I think ultimately good move by the redskins. RG3 is a very good fit for that style of offense, and its not like they don't have pieces in place. They have a stable of good runningbacks, a very good TE, LT, and three pretty good receivers.

As for the defense, they are pretty underrated. They beat the Giants twice last year, and with a gameplan like they had it wasn't surprising that they came out on top. RG3 adds another dimension to that offense, and the two firsts in next years and the year after that aren't now. Getting RG3 now and developing him while they have the roster they have now is a smart move.

VernonLawson89 · 03-09-2012, 10:16 PM

Skins got raped

Hurricanes25 · 03-09-2012, 10:16 PM

I hope RG3 works out for them. If he becomes a bust, the 'Skins will be set back for a long ass time.

kalbears13 · 03-09-2012, 10:17 PM

Well I'm glad the Browns didn't put all their eggs in that basket...

vidae · 03-09-2012, 10:18 PM

This is the last time I can look upon this fondly. I have to delete the URL now. Someone hold me. :(

freebirdsrams02 · 03-09-2012, 10:22 PM

Great trade for the Rams.

Shane P. Hallam · 03-09-2012, 10:22 PM

Isn't this what we expected? Losing 2 firsts and a second isn't that bad IMO. Worth a shot

Hurricanes25 · 03-09-2012, 10:23 PM

And if Bradford doesn't work out for the Rams, they'll have plenty of picks to use to replace him...

WMD · 03-09-2012, 10:24 PM

I like it for both sides. It's a ton to give up and a huge risk but the Redskins did what they had to in order to get the guy they want. All they have to do is nail this pick and it'll be worth it.

The Rams now have the ammo to pretty much get anyone they want over the next couple of years. They can keep the picks and build their team or make whatever deals they want.. but they have to do something with these extra picks or Washington wins the trade.
