I'm told by people within Redskins they are prepared to offer picks 1,2 and 3 this year, at least a 1 next year to move up to get RG3 at 2
If the Redskins give up there first 3 picks this year & next year's #1 all I have to say is lolskins

How good is a QB without an offensive line and WR’s to throw to?
Defensive player of the year for 2011 is...
Wild_Eagle!
Yes, Wild_Eagle's infamous reputation did help him get this award. But he shows that he walks the talk that he serves...with his keyboard. Wild_Eagle protects the motherland (BGN) from the evils of noobs, douche-bags, and other assholes. Although he may be crude and unnecessary, all great defenders draws the yellow flag from time to time.

this would literally cripple them as a franchise if this doesnt work
thats two number ones, I won’t even trade that for Brady plus at least a 2nd and 3rd. Griffin had one great year and has never thrown a timed route in this life. They have tons of holes and dont have a WR (Baylor had good ones), a great offensive line (Baylor had a good one), or all that great of a defense (Baylor was ok). I would be completely cool with this. There isn’t enough in FA that could solve their issues.
Trevor Laws: "Thank Giants for kicking to (Desean)."
Mike Vick: "Why would they kick to Desean?"
Matt Dodge: "Snap too high!"
NJ Eagle: "Fly Eagles Fly!!!"
Even if it does work
it may well damage the franchise – see Michael Vick in Atlanta – Vick may have made the Falcons a playoff team, but they were seriously flawed
Um just to let you know
Baylor didn’t have good receivers they had one wright (That’s one NFL caliber WR vs being on a pro team with multiple) Baylor also didn’t have a good OL they gave up constant pressure and he was sacked an extreme amount of times while still being great at decision making and not turning the ball over, finally Baylor’s defense was the worst of any bowl team.
His situation in Washington would be much better.

All I was saying
Is they can improve their team in free agency, I know they have a history of missing on free agents, but I think a player like Rg3 can help lift a franchise like cam did last year, give up the picks and then add a Vincent Jackson and a Carl nicks in free agency

If we got a MLB and OLB in Free Agency then either signed another WR or resign Desean
then I’d be ok with us trading up to #2 because we would atleast have patched up our biggest hole.

Exactly what I thought
when I read this. I hope they’re that dumb. RGIII will have “David Carr” syndrome and be ruined by the end of his rookie year.
Eagles go 8-8 or 9-7 in 2012/2013 season. 2/17/12
No way Eagles draft a LB in the first round 2012.
We will see if Spags was in the right place at the right time in the Gmens SB run. Or was that the fluke year and he really is just mediocre.

Stupid
You might consider that sort of move for Andrew Luck if you’ve got a strong roster and just had a bad season but not for RG3
think about the last 2 drafts for the Eagles. Would you give up the Eagles picked in those spots for RG3?
Prediction: the 3-4 will be out of style in two years.
So no, I will not shut up about stupidity.
by bdawk4ever on Dec 11, 2011 1:39 PM EST
no
because I’d have taken different players at the spots.
The move up for Graham in 2011 foolish. I’d have stayed where I was and drafted Jared Odrick and then stop still in R2 and taken Sean Lee
In 2011, I think Watkins would have been where we were drafting in R2. I’d have taken Johnathon Baldwin in R1 providing that big Red Zone target and drafted Quinton Carver in R3.
But thats me

Please do it Redskins.
You will finally have a good QB.
You just won’t have anyone else to put around him. Great strategy.
Ed Snider is a crotchety old fuck.
That is all.
they could sign any number of the stack FA wrs.. they have davis and helu and if healthy a decent ol
They have a great defense to boot. so the skins with a real qb is scary.

this almost makes sense if you don’t think there are going to be any good QB’s in the next draft. Obviously getting Manning makes you much better in the short run, but by the team you get enough talent on the team to win it will be too late for him. At least this way RG3 will have his best years in Washington.
It’s not the smartest thing to do, but I don’t think it’s overly retarded.

Something I thought of that probably won't matter
What if the Rams are in love with Justin Blackmon but are afraid he won’t make it to #6? Would they take a little less from Cleveland(since I don’t think they’d give up this much) to move to #4 instead of taking all of this from the Skins?

Very possible.
However you need to realize that the Viking could snag him our Kalil up at 3.

honestly, if I was the Rams, I'd consider staying
if you love Matt Kalil like I do (I think he will be a perennial Pro Bowler). The next best tackle is Reily Reiff and he can barely lift 20 times at the combine. The same thought for the Vikes. I love Blackmon but think he’ll fall because of his measurements.

It's never too much to pay for a Franchise QB, period
If the land RG3 (who just reportedly ran a 4.38) they will have gotten the better end of the deal, if you can get what you think is an Elite QB to lead your team for a Decade 4 picks doesn’t mean anything specially if you were going to draft a (B.Graham or Watkins) with those said picks. RG3 is the best Dual threat QB I think I have ever seen. Hope he does well in the NFL.
Idc how good a QB is, if he has nothing around him, he's not going to do well
Trevor Laws: "Thank Giants for kicking to (Desean)."
Mike Vick: "Why would they kick to Desean?"

So the Skins have nothing now?
And who says just because you have picks in every round means you’re going to get a good player? There are about 10-15 good to great players at every postion in the NFL with the rest being average to below average, and that many players get picked in every draft for every postion so chances are you are not going to get an elite player, which means it doesnt matter where you pick or how you get the players its all still a crap shoot. You can go get players other than the draft, you can even trade future picks so getting players is never a problem, its getting the players you WANT thats hard and if RG3 is the QB they want then they should go get him, simple as that. The most important position is QB, you can have a team full of all pro’s but unless you have a capable QB then your team will not do well. The Redskins led this divison for part of the year so to say that they have “Nothing” is a little untrue, specially when we only finished with 8 wins. Draft picks mean nothing before a players name is sat next to them, nothing, they are like Pawns in chess useless unless one turns into a Queen or something else.
I agree that if you want someone that bad then it is worth it
but from perspective they have a ton of holes. And honestly, I think this will be the Shanahan’s last season in Washington.

its too much if RG3 is merely adequate
and a franchise killer if RG3 is a bust
its also too much if RG3 is good
remember Atlanta lost the Michael Vick trade badly
See also New Orleans with Ricky Willams
Those were both Pro Bowl level players and the teams still suffered badly
remember Atlanta lost the Michael Vick trade badly
I disagree, they had more playoff success than the chargers whom they made the trade with and Mike vick was at one point almost unstoppable, they needed WR’s for mike. Just because you have picks doesn’t mean you are going to get players. There are teams every year that have terrible draft classes.
The Chargers made the AFC Championship game
at least once
Also keep in mind that the primary player who the Chargers received, LaDanian Tomlison was also pretty much unstoppable at one point.
Also LT is a sure Hall of Famer – Michael Vick could be if he leads the Eagles to a Super Bowl or two in the next couple of years, but probably isn’t.
one could point out that giving up so many draft picks
for one player is why Atlanta was unable to receive any draft picks.
Well all those picks Chargers got sure didnt help them out
they sucked balls for most of LT’s Career.
Steep price but desperate need
But it makes a hell a lot more sense than the Manning talks about the Skins trying to acquire. Skins desperately need a starting QB they can build around for the next 3-4 years at least. Only 2 in the draft this year fit that bill – Luck and RGIII. Problem is that with the early combine results the price tag on RGIII went up a bit.
Here is the a list of Skins’ QB starts the past 2 decades since they last won a SB in ’91:
2011: Grossman (13 GS, 5-8)
2010: McNabb (13 GS, 5-8)
2009: Campbell (16 GS, 4-12)
2008: Campbell (16 GS, 8-8)
2007: Campbell (13 GS, 6-7)
2006: Brunell (9 GS, 3-6)
2005: Brunell (15 GS, 9-6)
2004: Brunell (9 GS, 3-6)
2003: Ramsey (11 GS, 4-7)
2002: Matthews (7 GS, 3-4)
2001: Banks (14 GS, 8-6)
2000: B. Johnson (11 GS, 7-4)
1999: B. Johnson (16 GS, 10-6)
1998: T. Green (14 GS, 6-8)
1997: Frerotte (13 GS, 6-6-1)
1996: Frerotte (15 GS, 9-6)
1995: Frerotte (11 GS, 3-8)
1994: Shuler (8 GS, 1-7)
1993: Rypien (10 GS, 3-7)
1992: Rypien (16 GS, 9-7)
1991: Rypien (16 GS, 14-2)
1990: Rypien (10 GS, 7-3)
Closest thing they had to a franchise QB was Rypien and he had really just that magical season in ‘91 where the Skins were pretty much unstoppable with the Posse (G. Clark, Monk, and R. Sanders) and one of the best o-lines ever which featured a few of the Hogs’ holdovers including Bostic & Jacoby.
Since then they have had 4 guys who were supposed to be ‘franchise’ QBs washout with varying degrees of success (Shuler, Frerotte, Ramsey, Campbell) and a bunch of veteran stop-gaps in between. Only 2 of those veterans really came them decent production (Brunell, Johnson) and only for a single year each. Brunell was running on fumes in his time in DC with his legs pretty much shot.
If they can get a legit QB to build around for the next several years, they need to serious consider it even if the price tag is large. They have floundered mightily the last 20+ years because their QB play have generally raised from mediocre to piss-poor.
They should
Even is the price seems crazy… Their team is quite OK, if you forget the QB. With RG3, they’re going to be really strong, and the division is going to be crazy. I hope the Browns get him…

Snyder
Is just a massive a$$hole. Not even debatable. It is utterly amazing the amount of times he has been criticized by former Redskins’ greats, DC and national media, and a litany of others. Hell even the WSJ and other outlets have pretty much ripped him relentlessly the last few years. Snyder seems to have backed off a little bit since ’09 after he fired Cerrato and finally installed a legit general GM in Allen. Also seems to have taken a lower press profile which is a smarter thing too. In a town as partisan as DC, it is always amazing how much unity you can find in hatred of Snyder.
Why I am glad Lurie is the Eagles’ owner. Generally seems like a decent guy who stays out of the way letting the football people run the show and spending bucks. What a owner should do.
I highly doubt Eskin has sources within the Redskins
who would reveal such infomration, unless they were using him as a pawn.
It’s not that complicated anyway. Either they get Manning or Flynn March 13, or they get in a bidding war with Cleveland and Miami (if they don’t get Manning/Flynn) for a shot at RGIII.
Still waiting for the Eagles to Bring it Home for Jerome.
Why not?
QB is the most important position in football. If they have the ability to get a franchise QB, they should go all out and get him. You’re talking about sacrificing 1.5 drafts, but you’ll have a franchise QB for the next 10 years. I would do it.

That's probably true
Us or the Raiders, and they haven’t had nearly the stability with their guys.
Philly has always loved the guys too. Peete wasn’t real popular, and Cunningham started to lose the fan base at the end, but otherwise those guys have been universally embraced and accepted.
Would be great to win a title with Vick.

And last 14 yrs
Only spans two QB’s (Vick, McNabb) so that shouldn’t “Always seem” to be black… Plus Kolb spent time as our starter as did Jeff Garcia, but ya “Always Black”.
I bet the Eagles have the most starts by black quarterbacks in the entire NFL history.Most starts by the SAME black QB probably, Most starts of Black QB’s entirely im not so sure about, there have been alot of Black qb’s that played in the NFL that weren’t as good as the Eagles players so other teams could of had two or three black qb’s in a span of 5-10 years when we only had Mcnabb or Cunningham for long streches..

If you think RG3 is the type of franchise QB that can take you to the Super Bowl, than you sell the farm and don’t think twice….Do you think the Giants regret trading the 2004 3rd overall pick, Phillip Rivers, 2004 3rd rounder, and 2005 1st & 5th rounders all for Eli Manning? I think not.
I love Clearwater...the trees are the right height
Surprised to see so many people thinking that would be dumb for the Skins. Bottom line is that if you don’t have a QB, it doesn’t matter who you draft with those other picks. If you think RG3 is one of those rare talents that comes around once in a long while (and maybe they do), you go get him.
Gotta give up something to get something. As an Eagles fan, I’d be more than happy to watch the Skins continue to slog along with a terrible QB for the next decade. RG3 scares me. He really does. I think he could be worth the cost.
by JimmyK on Feb 26, 2012 8:01 PM EST via mobile reply actions
I think he's a special talent
but not worth two 1’s, a 2 and a 3 and would probably have to add a player or two as well. I like RG3 and he has scary potential so I wouldnt want him to go to the Skins, but if they give up all that stuff, I think it could be costly over the next 3-4 years.

Only if he sucks. If he becomes a Top 5 QB in the NFL, it’s worth whatever you have to give up.
But even if he becomes a 6 to 10 QB
the LOLskins are likely to lose on that trade.
And if he is merely a good/medicore NFL starter – 10-15 range, its a major loss
And if below average to bad 16-25 range, its a disaster
If he’s a bust 26-32 range, its a Daniel Snyder LOLskin level disaster.
RG3 better stick with the law school plans – he can be the next Heath Shuler.
I agree with this line of thinking
Once you have a QB, especially one that dynamic, everything else falls in place.
And Shanahan has done enough work to that roster that really QB is the only hole that needs that major, major investment. They could use WR and OL and secondary players, but they’re not so empty there that they can’t compete. Right now, at QB, they are.
Still waiting for the Eagles to Bring it Home for Jerome.
I really like him. Somebody will go Ricky Williams for this guy, and they’ll get panned for it. But I think he might just turn out to be worth it.

Agree
If you think that you can get your franchise QB then I think that it is worth taking the risk. If I were them and I drafted RG3 then my next area of focus would be OL. Protect my investment. Worry about upgrading who he is throwing to later.
Go Eagles!
They aren't giving up that much!!
It’s being misunderstood – they are willing to offer any of the teams with top 3 picks two #1 picks (this yr and next). They aren’t giving up this yrs #2 or 3.
I’d trade both next yrs #1 and one of our #2s. We would be set for years with RGIII!

Redskins are rolling the dice, as they often do. Keep this in mind, too (having spent many years around DC): games sell out, but it doesn’t mean people actually fill the seats. Many DC businesses buy ticket blocks and give them out to clients and/or employees for perks (might even be tax deductible expense, I’m not sure). But if people are blah about the team, nobody will use even free tickets. Luxury boxes don’t get filled up, people find better things to do. RG3 is a marketing tool for Snyder, if the Redskins land him.
