2012 pick #2 (RGIII)

I wish they'd take that, but I doubt its enough.

Fine replace the 4th with 3rd or throw the 2013 3rd rounder too.

Too much. The spot (#2) might be worth it but RGIII is not.

No thank you. I'd rather trade back let the Rams figure how to screw someother team for their draft picks. We are in the middle of rebuilding also and we need more then just one player (QB) to get over the hump.

If that is all it took we'd be stupid to turn that down.

Looking at it from the Rams POV, it just doesn't give them enough good picks in this year's draft to compensate for losing the opportunity to draft Kalil or Blackmon. If I were in St. Louis' position, I'd insist on the Skins' #2 pick in 2012 or a top young player in a position of need as part of the deal. Also, why would a rebuilding team want Santana Moss?

If you want your proposed deal to work, you would need to substitute either Orakpo or TW for Moss. Basically, if the deal doesn't cause the Skins some pain, then it's probably not a good enough deal for the Rams.

We're not in a position to give up draft picks. We can get a QB with the picks we have. Cincy got Dalton in the 2nd round and made the playoffs and they have a better future than we do.

they will get 2 firsts at a MINIMUM with probably 2 two rounders and a 3rd rounder

this has gone from a LEGITIMATE SMOOTSMACK RUMOR THREAD OF AWESOMENESS to an EXTREMESKIN-ESQUE RIDICULOUS SPECULATION AND COMPLETELY UNREALISTIC TRADE SPECULATION THREAD OF SUCK.

So true!

It's SmootSmack's fault for not providing us with the instant gratification we crave and then taunting us about it.

We're the KINGS of the off season! Gas up Redskins One as soon at free agency starts!

Jeeez! I have to go away for a day and the thread explodes...

Let me try to clarify some things here:

1. Smootsmack's original posting about a "big-time rumor" does NOT match exactly with the "big-time rumor" that I have heard. They are similar but they are not the same. Frankly, the one he has heard makes a bit more sense to me than the one I keep hearing about - - but who says that everything involving the Washington Redskins has to make sense...?

2. With regard to timing, the rumor I have been hearing has been "hours away from announcement" about three different times in the past week. Yet, it never happened. My conclusion is that if it happens, it will happen in its own time and I am not going to have any real advance notice I can depend on. I do not know if Smootsmack's sources have a better sense of the timing here than my sources do.


Remember the old TV commercial where Orson Welles would intone:

We will sell no wine before its time.

The current state of affairs would seem to be:

We will make no announcements before thier time.

Patience...
