And they'll likely be a poor enough team to get a high enough pick to draft a good prospect. Or they could trade up using some of their many high draft picks.

And the Redskins deal for RG3 is more costly than the Ditka deal for Ricky Williams. Says all you need to know

They will only have 1 st this year, but 2 2nds.

39ish mil in FA money, best believe they will.

Face it, Shanahan went all in. If he busts, Shanahan wont be around to mess with not having 1sts.

So does this give Shanahan more time with the skins?

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.

Yeah, please look at the Eli Manning trade. A franchise quarterback is worth a lot. The Redskins have been pretty bad for awhile now, and looked very promising last season. Taking a risk on RGIII is something that could really help the franchise turn the corner.

Funny if they do sign Payton and then pass on rgiii.

dunagan15 · 03-09-2012, 10:30 PM

This is just ammo so the Rams can trade Bradford and their next 4 first rounders for Luck. Come on guys gotta read thru the lines!

Would you have traded 3 1sts and a 2nd for Eli? If you answer yes Im calling BS.

They gave up at least four players for one player. You can look at it however you want.
It's stupid to count RGIII as both a player and a pick

SeanTaylorRIP · 03-09-2012, 10:31 PM

When was the last time Skins fans had a QB to be excited about? I know its a hell of a risk, but if we land the franchise QB who i feel RGIII will be in a perfect system it's well worth it. We just went through a Grossman and Beck season so F it im down. And we did gain some decent depth with our deep draft last year. We need weapons for RG3 ASAP though, hopefully he can attract some free agents, definitely need to retain Fred Davis, he will be RG3's best friend.

Shoulda kept Colt Brennan. You woulda never been in this situation.

I hope RGII tells the skins that his son will not play for the redskins and wants to get traded.

Doesn't matter, hard to do anything without a franchise QB.

Me personally? probably not. But Ernie Acorsi compared him to John Elway, so I am not so sure I would put it past him. The draft value has changed, top picks aren't killer to a franchise because of rookie payscale.

armageddon · 03-09-2012, 10:35 PM

Good luck Redskins, I think RG3 is going to be the real deal. But please suck the next 2 years so your #1's will be top 10. Fair ?

My two favorite teams just became the Rams and whoever plays the Redskins. WTF? I ate an apple today and the Rams made a good move....IT IS COMING AH THE APOCOLYPSE!

Well technically that would be a lot more than 2 teams.

It's 2 firsts and a 2nd, they traded up from #6 to #2 that doesn't count as losing a first round pick.

They gave up 3 1sts and got a 1st back in return.

bearsfan_51 · 03-09-2012, 10:43 PM

I still don't understand that logic at all, but whatever. They gave up 3 1st round picks to get 1 first round pick. You can't say they didn't give up one of their picks when they did, they just got one back. They still traded it, it's not like it didn't happen.

This trade still isn't as crazy as the Carson Palmer trade, however.

He was clarifying where someone said the Rams would have 2 1st round picks in 3 years, when in reality they will only have 1 this year and 2 in each of the next 2

Imagine how much the Rams could get on draft day for someone trading up for Tannehill.

They could be loaded over the next few drafts...

dannyz · 03-09-2012, 10:46 PM

The Redskins made a really risky move, If RGIII turns into a Franchise QB then the they will look like the Smartest Team ever but if he turns into a Bust then the Redskins just blew the fist half of this Decade. The Rams need to learn from the Redskins past with the Ricky Williams trade and turn themselves into a Dynasty.

I want to watch the NFL network right now. I can't find a stream.

Nothing :|. No one will EVER trade UP for Tannehill, maybe trade down or back into the 1st. But no one with a brain would trade all the way up to 6 for Ryan Tannehill.
