What is RG3 worth to us?

We could get a gold mine for a team wanting to trade up. Shanahan has proved that you can plug in any RB in his system and they be productive. This is a QB driven league now. If our guy is off the board and Richardson is still up there, I would love to be able to trade down for a team wanting him.

If someone's going to trade a crap load of picks to trade up for Richardson, they actually have to 1) love Richardson, and 2) believe enough teams love Richardson enough where he won't make it where they pick.

And despite being the best available player after the top five, there's people who truly believe that when it comes down to it, Richardson is going to make it all the way to no. 17 when the Bengals pick.

If that's even a remotely accurate assessment of the situation, the Redskins won't be able to get anything for Richardson at no. 6, because any team that wants him can also go to 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, or 13 to get him.

The Redskins should take him though if he's the top offensive playmaker on their board, position be damned. Still, if they trade up to third, none of this is an issue because they can grab Griffin (in all likelihood) or Blackmon/Kalil in a worst case.

He will be there but if you can't trade down I say draft him of course he's plan C but out of all the guys we are linked to skill position wise: Blackmon, Claiborne, RGIII, Richardson. He's the only one I see being there in every scenario.

I don't think Shanny can survive if he did such a thing, and looking at his drafting history, I don't expect him to draft a RB at that spot. I think he would go QB/CB/OL/WR before he went with RB, regardless of how good that RB rated.

I know but I see the draft going like this right now:

Colts- Luck
Rams- Blackmon
Vikings- Kalil
Browns- RGIII
Bucs- Claiborne
Redskins- Richardson?, Martin?, (doubt it), Kirkpatrick?, (not likely)

From a playmaking standpoint he makes sense from a need standpoint not so much.

Playmaking is the need, right.

Richardson would bring it in an unconventional form, but I would apply 'beggars can't be choosers' here.

Very true.
