Or traded picks for Jason Taylor for one year.

The 2nd rounder this year is what stings a little for me. We will still have drafts just not 1st rounders can still build a team in the draft with 2nd-7th rounders.

Glazer said the deal was done yesterday.

SOUL-SKINS · 03-09-2012, 11:45 PM

Again .... We r getting their first so it's basically two first rounders ..... Is it this years 2nd??

Now that it's official Robert Griffin III will be a Redskin, I'm very elated. I feel a since of satisfaction and I doubt seriously if RG3 will bust. He could make the pro bowl in his rookie season. But it's important that there's not an enormous amount of pressure on him. I just want to see him succeed.

We traded a king's ransom for him. There is huge pressure on him starting right now.

I hope RGIII is the next Jim Thorpe.

Yeah that's another downside to this. We really have to be careful about putting the franchise on his shoulders. Too much pressure and he might be the next David Carr.

But that's what seems to make him stand out from the rest- is him appearing to have the maturity to be able to handle that pressure, being a hardworker, and also a student of the game. That's what the qb busts didn't have even though they had all the talent in the world.

SFREDSKIN · 03-09-2012, 11:54 PM

We will have a made in Japan QB, RGIII was born in Japan.

jamf · 03-09-2012, 11:45 PM

We got 2 first rounders for Sean Gilbert and a whole draft for Ricky Williams and all we ended up with was 1 playoff win.

This is a passing league now and we had to do everything we can to get a Franchise QB.
Let's hope he is worth it.

RG3
Rex
Beck or Rookie late round undrafted QB (Austin Davis or Kellen moore)

I agree bring back Rex as backup and to help teach system to RG3.

Another good thing: This may be a sign that Snyder is willing to be patient with MS in the next three years.

So hopefully MS has been given a Mulligan for the wasted McNabb year.
