I prefer RGIII if we don't give up more than the Giants did for Eli. Once you start throwing in more picks, especially second rounders, it's getting too high. Tannehill at 6 or trading down to try and get him before the Dolphins do is worth not giving up that many picks.
Re: Eddie Royal, we've got to lure him home. He went to high school at South Lakes in Reston.
Maybe the interest from other teams isn't as strong as they anticipated so they feel they have a real shot, or maybe they were bluffing earlier in not being interested?
Or maybe they don't feel good about their chances of getting Manning, so it's all in for RGIII?

Was telling the mods this morning, I still can't shake the feeling that something's up with this whole move up to RG3 thing.
I mean, for months I'm hearing yeah you know what we're only serious about moving up for Luck. Otherwise we'll take a QB in the first 2nd rounds (along with a free agent) and maybe add some picks. People who have been giving me solid info for a while. Now, almost overnight, these same people are saying "actually you know what, we are all in for RG3.
What suddenly changed?Face to face meeting?

Probably due the fact that the scouting department and Shanny got a chance to sit down with Griffin to really see how he ticks. I think he fits the mold of player Shanahan has been trying to draft since getting here. It could all be coincidence though...

One thing we know about Shanahan from past years is that he won't outright lie about his draft plans. But there will be one or two premeditated smokescreens every year that are leaked to sources.
The Eric Berry one on draft day 2010 was an excellent example of an intentional smokescreen.

I agree. He was flat out honest at last year's combine saying our number one need was a pass rusher and look who we picked up.
