Shocking to me as well, but I like the move. The Broncos and Seahawks have done what the Redskins should have been doing, and hedged their bets at the quarterback position with players who have future value combined with their players that have present value (Orton/Hasselbeck/Campbell...although Hasselbeck may just have perceived value from prior successes, the kind that Campbell lacks). Now the Broncos and Seahawks can both get out of the first round without taking a quarterback, if they are so inclined.
The Redskins can too, but the Grossman signing seems to indicate other plans. Although, I'm not sure a move of any consequence is going to follow. If the day one starter is not Campbell, it's going to end up being someone not on the roster right now. And without reaching for a QB at No. 4, it's going to be somewhat unconventional.
