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

Chief X_Phackter · 03-09-2012, 11:10 PM

One thing this deal does for us, getting it done now, is give us some leverage with courting potential free agents, especially a big time receiver.

Gotta figure out how to shore up the D and the O-line as well...not going to be easy.

But hey, chances are RG3 will be a good one for some time, but dang...can't get over the price. Hopefully this time next year I will be over it

True True True. I'll stop, its all the excitement of getting Mr. Griffin that has me acting like a kid again.

But you were not right. You did not predict 3 #1's and a #2. Smug without a cause are you.

but back to getting Mr. Griffin! We may have gotten our franchise QB!

And gloating like a prick is real mature?

I don't like what we gave up. But in reality no one truly knows how RGIII will be as an NFL QB or how the Rams picks will turn out for at least a season or two. As of this very second, the score is 0-0...stay tuned.

I'm embarrassed we root for the same team. Are you going to be rooting for the Redskins to lose games this year too?

And Veldheer's sack against came in a D-II playoff game. So he was was only right on that one on a technicality he wasn't aware of.

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....

That was actually specifically for you (the veldheer thing) cause that always stuck in the back of my mind and I was going to politely bring that up to you on a draft board but like I said I'm so amped right now I'm jumping around like a kid at christmas that we got griffin. Predicting the NFL is 50-50. I think we all can go on this board and point out the he's right/you're rights about so many subjects.

skinsfaninok · 03-09-2012, 11:15 PM

Dude Cult U called it I'll say that but lets get back to RGIII

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.

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. Someone else in this draft or in free agency is going to turn out to be a better QB and the team who didn't give everything up to get that QB will be more successful. Flynn, Tannehill, Weeden, Cousins, etc. Do we even know Cleveland was a threat? If they got Flynn, we would have been in the driver's seat. This seems like a move of the previous regime. Competing against themselves.

Glad we got RGIII! But will he be able to handle this Ricky Williams level pressure to perform, since so much was traded to get him?

Nah, we got our QB. I wanted us to lose for Luck. Hey, atleast with that we wouldn't be giving up 3 firsts! But I'm happy with Griffin. It is chemistry to. If we had tanked our season some glue guys like Fletch wouldnt have come back.

I'm just happy to have Griffin.
