That is correct.

Basically, this is the coach/GM saying that if he's coaching for his job this year, he might as well take three drafts and put them into one.

The fundamental problem with this trade has nothing to do with Griffin, who profiles as a sensational player. It's that the Redskins still figure to be a pretty weak team in 2012. And then what? Essentially, they go as Griffin (or, I'll say it, Luck) goes and that really hurts the Redskins going forward.

Because if Griffin isn't Cam Newton in year one, there will be a large population of the NFL world that will view him as more of a gimmick than a true, by-the-book franchise quarterback.

I was hoping we wouldn't give up this year's 2nd rounder. It's like sweet and sour chicken. Don't know how to think about this yet....

Love how you summed this up. Very true. Glad to see us getting a qb but not happy about giving up the 2nd round pick.

And they took this year's #2? GD. We're gonna have to go hard in FA this year. Not sure I agree with that.

Also I want to know how the rumors went from us offering our first this year and next year, but not willing to give up our second this year, to us giving them our first and second this year as well as our 2 firsts for the next 2 years. How does that happen?

Sigh. It's like GTripp said, unless RG3 looks like the 2nd coming of Jesus in cleats the Rams will be the clear winner of this deal.

Couldn't three first and a second have gotten us Luck?

If the team that had the Luck pick also had Peyton Manning, then I have to imagine it would have.

Not only that, but Ryan Tannehill has to bust out of the league pretty quickly, or we would have been way better off with him at no. 6.

Yes. If Tannehill turns out to be very good, we will have been not just raped, but gang raped.

2 1st round picks. We still have the #2 this year.

Not according to the reports I'm seeing? Everything I'm seeing says we gave up our 1st and 2nd this year, plus our 1st in 2013 and 2014.

We are giving our #1 up this year for a higher pick. So, #6 for the #2.

It isn't as bad as it sounds when ya say two first round picks and a #2 as opposed too 3 first rounders and a #2.
