2012 NFL Draft-QB Prospects (Chapter 5)

Mike: Right now it’s easy to be more intrigued by Griffin than anyone else. My preference: getting the best QB you can find is the option. If that means trading up for Griffin, then do it. Shanahan is not one to settle for a guy if he thinks he can land an elite player. There’s no guarantee with any player, but having to trade a couple picks for a guy I think can really play would not be a deterrent. To trade up high in the first round means you’re convinced the player will be elite. If you’re not convinced, don’t do it. There’s nothing the Redskins have needed more for a long time than a franchise QB. If that’s Griffin, get him and don’t hesitate.

Keim is excellent. Great perspective, seems to know his stuff.

Wait a year and draft Barkley

And be in the same predicament...

How about this guy right here. A home town kid. He'll be ready in a few years...

I know it's a highlight tape, but impressive for a guy nobody is talking about yet.

I see one concern is he does not taking any snaps from under center so this will hurt him when scouts look at the tape. He will be a late round project.

I guess he does not take any snaps from under center in his college offense. This will hurt his draft stock.

Wait a year and draft Barkley

Starting to sound like a pretty decent option. Imagine what the team would look like next year with 8-10 new draft picks and another round of free agency. Would be a great situation for someone like Barkley to walk into. Won't happen, but wouldn't be the end of the world.

Yeah, it would look like a team that was 0-16, to assure they get Barkley. It would be criminal not make a move to get a QB. I hear allot of we have to get my guy. I will be happy as long as we get one of the three guys that have been discussed. Matt Flynn, Payton Manning, or RG3. If not, I will be upset. Maybe there is a guy that makes sense, that we don't know about. But aside from that, they better get one of them.

for RGIII??? I'd do it.
I would do it if we could not get Flynn or Manning. I think the Redskins should be talking to the Rams now, and trying to get a trade done prior to free agency. I am not sure that is within the rules, but if they are going to rely on getting RG3, they better have that 2nd pick rapped up before free agency.

Yeah like maybe someone like Sam Bradford?

I think that will never happen, but trumps everything, other than a completely healthy Manning.
