Depends on what those other picks turn out to be.

In your scenario you have the better QB, but the team might be stronger overall with RT and the picks.

That's just it...I don't care...you can make both of the other picks as good as you want them to be and I will still take the elite QB. This is a QB league now...the teams that win consistently have the best QB's. Every team in the league is flawed in this era of free agency...you can work around everything except the QB position.

Sorry but an elite QB doesn't solve all of our woes. Giving up 2-3 starters, 2-3 potential pro bowl quality starters, is a big price to pay. If MS decides it's worth the gamble I'll get behind it, but there's more than one way to approach this.

I read that but, reaching that far for any player offsets the value as well. If they value draft picks, keep them and draft without reaching so far. To argue your point why not consider drafting RG3 versus Weeden or Foles or Wilson and the other selections they'll have without having to trade away plus the added picks that could be picked up if the Skins decide to trade down? Now the value is put on the the talent and skill gap...

I would agree that Tannehill at 6 may be a bit high. I don't necessarily agree that the skill gap between RG3 and RT is significant. But that's just my opinion

That's what it boils down to...your scenario makes perfect sense as long as you believe there is no significant gap between the QB's. There's just no way to sell that plan to someone who is convinced there is a gap.

That was a respectful way to put it. I should try that.

The redskins looked like a mediocre or average team when fully healthy and turned into a below average team after taking some hits with injuries. The injury bug is going to happen every year, so what if we draft RGIII but then lose a starting WR, couple OL and a TE? IT would be nice to have some quality depth.

At first, I was all for drafting RGIII, but sometimes I get to thinking about the cost & I wonder if it is worth it.

It only seems like this because we have a massive hole at qb, which just so happens to be the most important position on the field. Damn I hope we solve that problem this year so we don't have to put up with it again next year.
