I was hoping they'd take Heath Miller, Roddy White, or a defensive end or linebacker. Anything but a quarterback with that pick. No matter who they took, though, it would be hard for them to prove worthy of two first-rounders, a 3rd and a 4th. Bad, bad draft management in my opinion.
That's my biggest concern with this move. I'm all for having depth at the QB position and leveraging yourself and being prepared in case Ramsey doesn't pan out or he does but chooses not to stay anyway.

But I'm not crazy about how much we gave up for him. I'm sure Campbell can be a very good starting QB in this league. But if you give up 4 draft picks, including two first rounders, for someone that guy better be the next Brett Favre.

If the Skins really felt they needed a QB for the future, why not just hold onto that #3 pick and take someone like Kyle Orton?
