The Redskins are well positioned to be able to draft the best of the rest.

I see the logic to this however it's (always) difficult to determine if/when another team will trade up. I could easily see Carolina, St. Louis and/or Minn looking for a trade down scenario...

What?? Skinsfan, you take textese to a whole new level!

I know I'm late to this thread, but Griffin is pretty comparable to Barkley, especially after yesterday's performance.

I watched bits a pieces of his for the 3rd time this season. Now, exactly why is he considered a good prospect? Zero impressed with this guy every time i watch, sure is athletic and mobile. He not close to Jones, RG3, Barkley, Luck, or even Foles or Weeden. IMO when looking to compare him, he is more in the class of Moore when you start talking about "hey should the skins get a second QB prospect in the 3-4 round", Tannehill fits there, which is great, but Id be very disappointed if we didnt get one of the top 4 and settled for more of a project type.

This guy has been nothing short of spectacular this year. His combination of athleticism, arm strength, and accuracy makes him a top prospect in my eyes. Luck is getting all the hype and praise while guys like RG3, Barkley, and Foles are getting overlooked. This is how I think RG3 messures up.

5= elite
4= above average
3= average
2= below average
1= poor

Arm Strength: I think RG3 has a well above average arm strength, but not elite arm strength. He has more than enough arm strength to make every single NFL throw.

Grade 4

Accuracy: One of the things that makes RG3 so intriguing is his unbelievable accuracy definitely on the deep ball. This guy has excellent ball placement in the pocket and on the run.

Grade 5

Mechanics: The perfect over-the-top throwing motion RG3 displays is great. He has a quick release to go along with his perfect throwing motion. My only knock on his mechanic is that he sometimes throw the ball off his back foot when doesn't have too. Also his footwork not so good at times. With a little work and good coach this part of his game can be elite.

Grade 3

Pocket Presences: RG3 has a pretty good grasp of sensing pressure. He takes some sacks. However, he usually gets rid of the before taking the sack.

Grade 4

Athleticism: RG3 semifinalist at the Olympic Trials in the 400 hurdles following high school. He has shown the ability to elude would be sacks and turn them into big gains. He's very dangerous in the open field. There are few players that has his speed and elusiveness at qb.

Grade 5

Intangiblies: RG3 is a real character guy. He's an excellent student. He's proven to be a true leader on the field and in the locker room. He's a great competitor.

Grade 5

Summary: Robert Griffin is the most exciting prospects that I have seen in many years. It's rare to find a qb with his athleticism that has great passing ability as well. At the next level I believe he will give many defense fits with his arm and his legs. I think he's the best fit for what we do offensively.

Overall= 5

Landry44 i agree with you. And even though i think Luck is the number 1, if we had the number one i would have a very hard time passing this guy up for anyone, even Luck.

Not sure about that, but I remember in the OU game he was getting rocked early and HARD. By the second half his o line was giving him all day.

I gotta admit that im not really familiar with RGIII. I thought i heard somewhere that he wouldnt look all that impressive behind a lesser oline.

My 2012 QB prospect-----Free Agent Brian Brohm

[GTripp0012]

Brohm would be like signing John Beck all over again, with one key difference: he's young enough where there is actual upside to the move if he plays well.

But the Redskins would be dumb in that direction. Would have been nice to have him in this season though.

I wonder how Matt Flynn will pan out in free agency...

The free agency class is insane as well. Campbell, Henne, Flynn, Hanie, Alex Smith, Kyle Orton, Vince Young. And then even the guys who profile as backups would have made good options this year: Dan Orlovsky, Rex Grossman, Brady Quinn, Drew Stanton.

Added to the draft class, I think there's enough supply for every team to be two-deep in terms of promising players at QB. In other words, if we don't open up training camp with two guys who are better options in Week 1 than the two guys we have now, we didn't do a good job.

I don't think this years QBs are as great as some think.. Luck Barkley Nd RG3 but the rest are guys I wouldn't take in the 1st

[SmootSmack]

Redskins scouted Dominique Davis a couple of times this year so far

[KI Skins Fan]

I think that both Barkley and Landry would be smart to enter the draft. I truly don't understand how any player who would probably be picked in the Top 10 in the draft would stay in school. I know that some players can get insurance against injury but I think that if I were that player's parent I would advise him to come out and get the money while he can. It's just too risky to stay in school when there is so much money at stake.
