Redskins agree to trade for No.2 overall pick in 2012 Draft

[mooby]

After a night to sleep on it, I'm definitely on board with this trade. The price was high, but that was because the Rams got what they wanted which was a bidding war between two teams that drove the price up. In the end if Cleveland got the deal and gave up what we did, yet were the team to beat for the next decade in the AFC North, would any of us give a shit what they gave up?

Do any of us give a shit what the Giants gave up to get Eli Manning? Sometimes you gotta take big risks to get big rewards. Shanny is hedging his future on this kid, something tells me they are going to do every possible thing to help him succeed. If RG3 becomes a Pro Bowl qb for the next decade and we're in the playoffs every year I doubt only but a select few people will care what we gave up.

Also, has anyone bothered to watch tape of this kid, or read up on him? He seems like a safe prospect. He can make all the throws, he's got a good head on his shoulders, he adds another dimension with his ability to run, he's very smart, he had an excellent upbringing by military parents, he graduated from college in 3 years, etc. I really do think we're set up for the long run at qb with him. And if he turns out to be everything we ask of him than who cares what the compensation was?
