Redskins agree to trade for No.2 overall pick in 2012 Draft

[Paintrain]

I've got no issues with the trade.. Even with what we gave up, we STILL have 20 picks over the next 3 drafts. People are acting as if we gave up our entire drafts for the next 3 years. I'm not trying to poo-poo the value of a 1st round pick but we've had plenty of first rounders over the past 2 decades and haven't done crap. Plus, I'm considering Jenkins the equivalent of our 2nd round pick this year since he's going to be a rookie essentially.

One of the things I said at the beginning of the offseason is that I was tired of settling at the QB position, either with retread veterans or with second tier rookies. This move was pushing all the chips to the middle of the table and going for it.

The next week will shape the franchise for the next 5-7 years. We have to get first round value/production in free agency at some key positions.

For the naysayers who think that RGIII has to be a Hall of Famer or take us to a Super Bowl in the next 3 years, its gonna suck to be you either way. If he's great, then you were flat wrong about 'wasted picks' or 'overpaying' or whatever else. If he's a bust or mediocre then you get to gloat about your favorite team not succeeding. I'll just choose to be positive and enjoy the ride.

Good stuff, nice read.

Ok, my first ever post on the WP forums (yay!), and to commemorate it, I wanted to post the product of some late night photoshopping. Been wanting to put this together for a while now, and now that the trade has been made, I thought I'd finally do it. But first I apparently have to have 10 posts in the books, so here are a few quick ones before I can post the photo link...

I would recommend visiting other threads and making comments instead of doing this. Just a tip. Lots of stuff to comment on in here.
