GM: Conserves picks and builds roster through young, cheap talent while filling few holes with free agency.
Fans: OMG WE NEED TO BLOW THOSE PICKS ON THIS GUY!! We can build the team with loss of talent in free agency.
The irony of it all is mind boggling. It's almost like watching politicians at work. Flip flopping to hell, and have no issues with the way business is ran until it doesn't suit them. I'm just commenting on the situation, not saying one way or another in regards to RGIII or any other move. Merely a observation.

OMG you hit the nail on the head. Pretty much what I noticed as well. Everyone complained about Cerrato an his FA antics and kept saying we should be more like the Patriots and Steelers by building through the draft. Now that the team is building through the draft it's been nothing but "let's throw as many picks at the Rams to see when they will say stop just for RGIII, and we can use up all that CAP cushion we got to get WR's and OL to help out RGIII.
Next...
Dirt, there is more then one scripted way to build a team. You also can get your OL, grab your WR's and RB's, and after you have everything in place then go out and get your QB so he's not taking a beating, like Ramsey did, and his learning curve will be less with all the help around him already knowing what they should be doing. Both ways are just as proven as the other.
