Bruce Allen: Redskins fell in love with two players in this draft | ProFootballTalk

Quote:

Redskins General Manager Bruce Allen says the logic behind the huge trade to move up four spots in this year’s NFL draft is simple: There are two great players in this draft and neither of them will still be on the board at No. 6, but one of them will be on the board at No. 2.

Obviously, the two players Allen is referring to are Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III, and with the Colts almost certain to draft Luck, the Redskins will get Griffin. Allen says the Redskins are thrilled with that.

“We fell in love with two players in the draft and one of those players will be a great Redskin,” Allen said.

Allen said getting the trade done prior to free agency was important because it allows the Redskins to start putting together their team around the rookie quarterback they’ll add next month.

Apparently BA didn't follow Greg Blache's advise of not falling in love with rookies. LOL.

But, but Bruce Allen has no say in who gets added to the team.

I love this trade (see tag line). No amount of contrarian shade throwing will kill my buzz! Sweet QB bliss!

I hope this works out because the Skins are irrelevant now and they will really completely be nowheresville for at least a decade more if this move flops.

I am really hoping the Colts get brain-lock and take RGIII so the Skins are able to draft a pro style QB in Luck.

do i think we overpaid? yes. do i think it was necessary? yes...

Give me 1 SB appearance and this trade will never be questioned

yes, we overpaid, but either you think the trade will work out or you think it won't. all the yeah buts sounds like reserving future "i told you so" fence sitting.

I didn't like the QBs last year (draft/on the team), I though beck was a wasted pick, and i don't like barkley as much as rgiii or luck, so i'm fine with it. maybe it turns out to be a huge mistake, but i think the floor potential on this isn't that low and the ceiling is very very high.

we took a chance, and i'm hoping it works. and yes, i would have liked to pay less for rgiii, but if the choice is between the picks for him or taking the somewhat meh RT, i agree with our FO on this one.

Did I miss something? Beck was not a draft pick and I don't recall the team giving up a draft pick for him... did they? and you didn't like any of the QB's in the draft last yr? Newton? I'll be honest I didn't like him at the time but he supprised me. I like Dalton and he did better then I expected.

Why did the choice have to be between RGIII or a RT? I would have figured they would have taken the next best QB in the draft or WR.
