Redskins agree to trade for No.2 overall pick in 2012 Draft

[Drewsky27]

I wonder what jersey number he will have. It will sell alot of jerseys

I dont like this trade at all. I dont mind the 3 first but the 2nd is what kills it

Agreed. That ups the value of the compensation by like 40%.

Snyder has done it again, got the fans snagged on the hot sexy pick, hoping it will pan out. I think BA and Shanny are feeling the heat so they went against the plan to save their asses. I like RG III a lot, but 3 first rounders for a still unproven commodity at the NFL level is not wise.

I agree synder has not been the best owner, but the man spends money and wants the team to win. He doesn't do interviews on espn and talk in the papers all the time like jerry jones and he still get all this crap.

So is it offical that its 3 firsts and a 2nd? Or might be we be getting a later round pick(s) somewhere too?

I mean, I wanted RGIII, I'm happy we got him... think it's too much, no doubt...

I have seen some people say 2nd. Other say the 2nd isn't finalized yet. I hope like shit it's not....

In team sports one guy isn't going to make a huge difference, unless you have a decent supporting cast. This team is deficient in too many areas to win, even with RG III. That is why I think this might bite us in the ass. Yeah Manning, Brees, Favre, and Rodgers won SBs, but their respective teams were teeming with Pro Bowl talent, talent in which we do not have right now. If we had a raelly good O line and a solid Wr corp and a D that could at least hold a team below 21 points, this deal would have been fine, but the team is like swiss cheese with the gaping holes we have in true starting caliber players. It is a great way to keep Fedex packed though!

So Shanny now keeps his job for the remainder of his contract. Nice!

[Ruhskins]

I wonder if the Browns were offering their two #1s this year and their #1 next year.

[skinsfaninok]

skins are still interested in Manning

Yeah, no joke. We don't give up the bounty that we did to watch Griffin sit...even behind Manning.

[donofriose]

Fred Davis as tight end
Hankerson as reciever
possibly jackson as the other
good running game
finally a quarterback to provide leadership and ability
an underrated oline that needs depth because of injuries
a good pass rush with two possible premier pass rushers
only problem areas are safety, corner, we need another inside linebacker, and oline depth. if we draft well we could be a playoff contender for years to come.

I get sick of hearing how deficient this team is currently. Think about our games last year; If Grossman and Beck wasn't our QB we could've easily won probably 5 more games.

You must have missed a lot of drops by our receivers, or the terrible O line play due to starters being injured, etc. Fred Davis, Fletch, Kerrigan and Helu were our heroes last season, that was pretty much it. Hightower was fine till he got banged up, then he broke his leg. Just before he broke his leg he was only getting 2 ypg his last two games. Also, I think our starting O line isn't really all that hot. Throw in the probability of losing Landry and Fletch and well you have a lot of holes, especially if they trade Orakpo to try and get some picks back. Now we have to pray we find another Cooley gem or two in the mid to late rounds this season to actually make the 2-7 rounds worthwhile.
