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

[quote=redskinsman18;895308]Allow me to pose this question to everyone:

Would you trade our #2 overall pick to a team if they come over the top with even more draft picks than what we gave up? For example: Browns offer us this years 2 1st rounders, this years 2nd round pick, & 2013 1st and 2nd round picks.[/quote]

More importantly, would you do this deal if you found out Peyton would sign with us? Take all those picks, sign peyton and others in free agency, and use the Browns picks next year to get Barkley.

Love the humor. :)

2 first rounders + a 2nd rounder + 2013 1st and 2nd rounders?

Yes, I would make that trade.

I think you'd have to be crazy not to take that offer.

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

Watch HIGHLIGHT film of this guy (RG3) and you won't make that deal IMO. Meaning we would NOT trade back with cleveland to #4.

Will some of you feel better if we package our 3rd and 4th to move back up into the 2nd? We'd still have 4th, 5th, 6th and at least one 7th.

Is anyone else feeling the sticker shock of the Griffin deal wearing off and pure joy arising from having a stud QB?

[quote=SmootSmack;895310]Tannehill at #4 then?[/quote]

I'm thinking no. I think RG3 was worth risking letting go of McCoy or pissing him off drafting his perceived replacement. I'm not so sure if Tannehill is worth the gamble, when one could argue that McCoy is a couple supporting cast members of being a better than average QB. That's how I see it, anyways.

I know I am. This is the most hopeful I've felt in more than a decade.

If things somehow shook out that we could move up to get Mike Adams in the 2nd, I'd go for that.

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

Never had the sticker shock in the first place.

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

[quote=Lotus;895392]Is anyone else feeling the sticker shock of the Griffin deal wearing off and pure joy arising from having a stud QB?[/quote]I don't think this trade changes the fact that the Redskins have been on pace to compete for the NFC East title in 2013. It might lower their chances to remain compeitive in 2014, 2015 (it also could raise their chances), etc. But I always anticipated them coming away with a [B]very good[/B] high first round player in this year's draft, and it certainly looks like they are going to prove that anticipation correct.

I don't know if I ever had sticker shock because the team had never convinced me it knew what it was doing before. So I wasn't like WHOA WHERE DID THOSE CAJONES COME FROM?!?!?! It was consistent with what we had seen from the Redskins before.

My first emotion when word of the trade was joy, and then the joy faded when it became obvious that the Redskins didn't pull of a great deal or better their team or anything. They just cashed in their chips in what I would call a calculated, though impatient, manner.

Free agency was always going to define the quality of their offseason IMO. So I'm definitely still taking a wait and see approach to grading this offseason because we don't know how well they've set the team up for the future yet.

This is where I'm at. I was shocked at what it cost, but it cost what it cost. We have a qb. Finally. It's going to be very exciting If nothing else.

Also, I have no photoshop skills, so it'll be a while before I get banned.

I really hope that they snag at least one of the top tier wide receivers for RG3 to throw to. Bowe or Jackson would be nice. I'm hearing noise that Shanny really wants VJax. I wasn't really thrilled about it at first. However, I just heard a story about VJax. Apparently, on a recent flight, VJax helped a disabled veteran from his seat to the airplane bathroom, and before the guy got off the plane, he went out of his way to give him an autograph. If that represents his character, then I'd welcome him on this team.
