What is RG3 worth to us?

NC, what if we drafted Trent Richardson in the first round, then used our 2nd rounder on Nick Foles and somehow acquired an additional 2nd rounder and drafted Mohamed Sanu or Dwight Jones. Would you still be upset???

I would never make it to the 2nd round because I would have already slit my wrists once he drafted Richardson.


RBs are a dime a dozen in the NFL these days. I really don't think a RB is warranted in the top 10 these days since many squads like the two back running systems. I would rather them go OL over RB at the #6. It would be different if I didn't think Helu and Royster could produce.

True but he is the best RB prospect since AP, and while he is NOT my first choice I wouldn't be too pissed if we got him.

Seems they say that every year about some guy. That said, I think our RBs are more than capable of being play makers as Helu has shown this year. Not to mention with Hightower (if healthy)coming back and Royster? Simply no need to upgrade the last position that needs upgrades.

Here is how I would rank our positions by need right now:

1) QB
2) S/CB
3) OL
4) WR
5) ILB
6) NT/DL
7) RB
8) OLB
(2,3,4 could all be interchanged in terms of needing to be honest)

If we have a big time CB or OL on the board, then we should draft either one of those spots if we can't move up or decide not to spend a high pick on a QB like Tannehill or Noles. Picking Richardson is a luxury pick. One we can't afford due to needing talent at many positions, and RB not being one of those positions.

This is pretty funny -

Mr. Griffin Goes to Washington

Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III heads to Washington Wednesday at the invitation of the president and first lady.

WACO (January 31, 2012)--Heisman Trophy Robert Griffin III heads to Washington, D.C. on Wednesday at the invitation of President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle.

On Thursday Griffin will lead a prayer at the National Prayer Breakfast at the Hilton Washington International hotel.

Earlier this month, Griffin decided to pass on his final season of eligibility at Baylor to enter the NFL draft.

On Jan. 16, he flew to Arizona accompanied by his mother and fiancée to begin five weeks of intensive training at a sports performance facility.

The three will fly to Washington Wednesday where they’ll be joined by Griffin’s father who remained in Copperas Cove while his son trains.

From Washington, Griffin III heads to Indianapolis where he will take part in Super Bowl media events.

He hasn’t decided whether to attend the game Sunday, his parents said.

Mark Ingram went late in the 1st rd to the Saints , so who is the better pro running back?

Richardson. He was the better back at Bama. Richardson is the better prospect.

I really like RG3 a lot and I think that if he falls to us at 6, it would be a match made in heaven. I am not a fan of trading anything to move up to get him though. He needs time to develop and may not be best suited to start from day one and to move up and trade draft picks would only add pressure on him and not add talent around him.

I say part he falls to us, if not draft OT or CB that we really should be drafting anyway..

I also believe the Colts have made their minds up already to move forward without Peyton. The owner cleaned house and has his new coaching staff ready to start the Andrew Luck era. As far as the Redskins QB situation if Peyton is healthy we need to take a long look at him. The big question is which team would Peyton prefer to play for and how much would it cost to sign him. I rather take a healthy Peyton than give up multiple draft picks for RGIII who has never taken a NFL snap. The odds are RGIII will never be as good as Peyton Manning. The problem for us is we pick a #6 spot in the draft and only 2 QB's are worthy of a top 5 pick. We all know Luck is off the board at pick #1 so thus leaving only RGIII to at least 4 teams ( Browns, Redskins, Dolphins,Seahawks) looking for a franchise QB. The Rams will use every trick in the book to get 1 of those teams to bid against each other to raise the stock in the #2 pick. I think we have to many areas of need to give up so many picks to move up to pick#2. its a huge risk.

How about this if the Browns pick RGIII , would the Redskins be interested in giving up a 2nd or 3rd for Colt McCoy? I would try to get him for a 3rd pick and we could use a later rd pick on maybe Russell Wilson to compete for the starting job. We could use our 1st rd pick on a O-lineman, CB, or trade back for more picks.

Saw RG this morning on the M&M show. Nice kid. Handled himself very well.

The most impressive thing about the kid is he's consistently been about the team and not "me". He's wasn't just blowing smoke this morning when he said he'd do anything to help a team. Paraphasing - I'll sit behind a QB and learn, I'll start, I'll do whatever they want me to do.
