So does Gaffney give up his #10 to Mr. Griffin?

I like this one, "Hail To The Redskins" :

I'd like to know RGIII's thoughts currently.....

I may have to break out my Superman socks on draft day.

I don't know if some of you all have a twitter, but it is great for sports news, especially stuff like this


Grant Paulsen, Peter King, Mike Wise, John Keim, Chad Dukes, Anthony Armstrong, Carriker, Darnell Dockett are all giving their opinions rapidly on this trade..good stuff.

"If you are sh*tting on the #Redskins right now, you simply don't know the history of their struggles at QB. This is a great night."

Bravo to the #Redskins. Get your franchise QB. Let the @ddockett laugh all he wants. He has as many Super Bowl wins as I do.

Darnell Dockett trashed us btw

Heard the same stuff from the Chicago media when they traded for Cutler.

Three 1st round picks and a 2nd? I guess when you are competing against Cleveland, you had to roll the dice and pony up, but that is a shit ton of picks.

I'm not sure how I feel about this other than i'm happy for the QB rumour mill to be stopped.

Forget about "importance" of first round picks and consider reality. We swapped 1st round picks this year and gave up two more in the future plus a second. Only about 50% of 1st round picks work out and it drops from there. Just playing the odds, only two of the 4 picks we gave up would likely have worked out.

It was a steep price to pay, but IF Griffin works out, it's well worth it. If we win the next few years, those future picks will be even less valuable. IF griffin works out, who cares what we gave up?

That is what scares the crap out of me...to trade multiple first rounders away, you need to come up with a multiple pro bowl player in an impact position, not the hope of one.
