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

Apparently, Todd McShay is saying that there is very little difference between RG3 and Ryan Tannehill. I hope he is wrong, but it makes you wonder: Did we have to spend all those draft picks if Tannehill would have provided us with the same quality of play?

Overall, I'm happy with the trade, but I'll have to remember to ask myself this in three-five years...

Let me say first that I am glad that we will get Griffin because he is the better QB.

That said, I don't think that the gap between Griffin and Tannehill is as big as some people think, which is why I was beating Tannehill's drum so much before the trade. IMO Tannehill is going to be very good. It will be interesting to see if Griffin will be two firsts and a second (the net of the trade) better than Tannehill.

If Mayock said that, I'd give it a little more thought.. McShay, eh... I've got a general bias against ESPN guys anyways (think they say more things for effect than accuracy) but too many scouts have major questions about Tannehill for me to think the gap is close. One scout I read recently compared Tannehill to Kyle Boller coming out. Great athlete, great tools, no idea how to actually play QB at the next level.
