Bruce Allen is George Allen's son whose motto was "the future is now" and was known for mortgaging the Redskins future with old over the hill players for #1 picks (during the 70's the Redskins didn't have a #1pick for years thanks to George) . The difference in this case is that they went for a young player, yes they overspent but the potential is there for super stardom. We shall see if this was a good trade or a really bad trade in a year or 2.
