Still have the rest of our picks, plus certain players could be on the table

And why did you want Clausen here? LOL... I hope he does well to shut up some of the whiny fans up. You wanted RG III, and we have him (or luck). You didn't want Grossman Back or manning or beck or weeden. Make up your minds folks. George, Ramsey, Ferotte, Shuler etc. Ring a bell? I would actually have liked for them to not RG III, and gotten cousin/tanneyhill. Or Manning and for it not to work. I would really like to see your reaction them. The skins made a bold move. We just to wait to see how it plays out.

If RG III were white, fans would apporve this trade in a heartbeat. LOL

No need to dumb the thread down. Almost 90% already approve.

This move tells me that BA, MS, DS believe we can win now. Thats why we mortgaged our future.

Bruce Allen is George Allen's son whose motto was "the future is now" and was known for mortgaging the Redskins future with old over the hill players for #1 picks (during the 70's the Redskins didn't have a #1pick for years thanks to George) . The difference in this case is that they went for a young player, yes they overspent but the potential is there for super stardom. We shall see if this was a good trade or a really bad trade in a year or 2.

WOW. Thats all I have to say. I called this trade 4 months ago.

My question is though, if Washington gave THAT much up to get RGIII, why not go up one more for Luck? Would the price be that much more for one slot?

Either way, the Skins are getting (were obviously assuming) a GREAT quarterback, on paper that is.

Not that I think we care about getting Luck, but if we did the only way to do that would be to get to 2 and then trade to 1. The Colts need one of the 2 quarterbacks, so I don't think they would have traded down to 6 no matter what.

Why give up another for Luck if ya think Griffin is better or at least equal to Luck?

Hey so where's the "insider" that was convinced we were getting McCoy and Shipley?

Probably crying in his corn flakes this morning.
