And with the 6th pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, the redskins select...........

[EARTHQUAKE2689]

Robert Griffin the III, Quarterback, Baylor OR Justin Blackmon Wide Receiver, Oklahoma State.

As this has evolved, I think I prefer the Blackmon pick over Griffin.

Elite Receivers help you get into the playoffs. Elite QB's help you go all the way. Granted if they decide Matt Flynn is their guy I'll root like hell for them to get Blackmon but RGIII will have a bigger impact on this team then any receiver in the league, including the likes of Fitzgerald, Megatron, and Andre Johnson.

What you say makes good sense to me; maybe I'm being short sighted but I want some of that immediate improvement. I want some credibility back and since QB's tend to be a dice roll, I think Blackmon is more of a sure thing that could produce a more significant impact.

FYI my local sports talk radio reported yesterday that Flynn is headed to Cleveland in some kind of sign and trade deal for three of the Browns draft picks.

Flynn is a unrestricted free agent. There would only be a signing, no picks involved.


Glad to hear you are doing well with your bought. Keep on fighting the good fight.

I don't think they have the cap room, and wouldn't that guarantee him the average of the top 5 paid QBs in the league? They still have to sign Finley. Stranger things have happened really so we'll have to wait and see.

Yep. Didn't see any elite receivers on the Patriots 3 super bowl teams and wouldn't consider Plax or Santonio Holmes elite either. Wouldn't even consider The Colts WRs elite when they won it. Manning has made his WRs look better than they are. Just don't like the idea of burning the #6 overall pick on a WR unless they're in the mold of megatron or Andre Johnson. Would like to see some size line up on the outside for us. I'd take Jefferey later on. Even AJ Green is 6'4.
