2012 Redskins Draft Day Thread: Round 1
 

I guess this is somewhat anticlimatic, but I do look forward to all the picks following RGIII. What an awesome day to be a Redskins fan. Perhaps the first franchise QB we've had since Sonny.


Ladies and gentlemen, with the number two pick in this year's NFL Draft, the Washington Redskins pick Baylor QB and Heisman Trophy Winner Robert Griffin III.

Boom shakalaka

I haven't been this excited for a drafted QB since Heath Shuler....I hope the result is not the same

re: 2012 Redskins Draft Day Thread: Round 1
 

RG3

The 3 stands for the amount of super bowl wins he gets in DC.

You weren't apart of that draft were you?

You can drop the word "Perhaps" in the above.

I believe that the last time the Redskins [B]DRAFTED[/B] a franchise QB, it would have been Sammy Baugh back in the 1930s.

Remember, they acquired Jurgensen in a trade with the Eagles for "Stormin' Norman" Snead.

Looking forward to Dallas drafting a bust.

re: 2012 Redskins Draft Day Thread: Round 1
 

Anyone else nervous??? I keep having a recurring nightmare:

"With the 2nd overall pick the Washington Redskins select Justin Blackmon"

I know I suffer from Post Cerratic Stress Disorder but can someone calm me down and tell me I'm crazy... please.

poll question of the day:

Is CrazyCanuck actually Crazy?

True that. But I didn't use the word "draft". Point remains though:)

Yeah I can see the Commish changing are pick based on the cap debate.

Why don't we already have a thread titled "With the Second Overall Pick The Redskins Select...Robert Griffin III"


No sense in waiting.

Because then you'd have a significant amount of egg on your face when you realize that this whole thing is a smokescreen to draft Ryan Tannehill...

Re: 2012 Redskins Draft Day Thread
 

Anticlimactic? No way, been waiting for this day since Rypien left!

I'm still pumped. Wore my Redskins tie into the office this morning. Usually save it for after wins on Mondays, but I broke it out in April this year!

My boss, a Ravens fan even commented on how exciting it is for RG3 to go to DC.



It's a great day.

Another punter or kicker tomorrow or Saturday too.


Their fans seem to want Barron but he won't be there for them to pick.

I second this. I wasn't as immersed when we drafted Howard or Shuler who I think are the only players remotely comparable so for me this is the biggest draft moment ever.

Re: 2012 Redskins Draft Day Thread: Round 1
 

Without a doubt this is the most excited I've ever been for a draft. And yet, I have to keep reminding myself, it's not just about having a franchise quarterback too. He plays a large part in the equation of winning Super Bowls, but he is not the be-all end-all of winning in the NFL. Which is why rounds 3-7 are just as important.

Smokescreen. :)

When the alarm went off this morning my first thought was, "It's Griffin Day." Much joy.

Summo sent me a couple yesterday... I'll put them up tonight or tomorrow.

Thinking about making them available to premium members only for a while. Membership has it's privileges. :)

Re: 2012 Redskins Draft Day Thread: Round 1
 

I'm excited right about now. This day took so loooonnnnnnnnggggg to come. The draft is finally here. The reason the Redskins had to give up two 1st round picks is because Matt Barkley decided to stay at USC. If he declared for the draft, the Redskins would have been able to pick him at 6th overall. But it didn't happen that way. I'd rather have Griffin III anyhow.

I still think it's to early to take a QB. Who's going to block for him? Not Matt Kalil. Who's going to run the ball for him? Not Trent Richardson. Whos going to catch his passes? Not Justin Blackmon. Who's going to get him the ball back? Not Morris Claiborne.

Am I the only one that sees the problem here?

Re: 2012 Redskins Draft Day Thread: Round 1
 

Tonight when the Skins make their pick, I will eat three red grapes to commemorate the occasion.

Then I might just pound a few brews to celebrate! Hail to the Redskins!!!

Thanks Matty, but SS tells me to never believe anything I read on PFT. :)

Re: 2012 Redskins Draft Day Thread: Round 1
 

I love this quote:

[quote=Grant Paulsen/RG3 via DC Sports Bog]
But they’re gonna treat me like a man, they’re gonna let me have input into the offense, they’re gonna try to do things to help me be successful. And that’s a great start. That’s what you want as a player. You want to go to a coach and he says look, we’re gonna mold this around you, we’re not gonna force anything upon you that you’re not good at. We’re gonna help you be successful. I like that....Great coaches do that. They mold their offense to their players.”
[/quote]

/but we paid too much! wahhhhh!

Re: 2012 Redskins Draft Day Thread: Round 1
 

I'm heading to OC right after I leave the office, so I really hope I make it there in time to see RGIII put on the Redskins hat for the first time! I'll be cutting it a little close, but if I don't stop for dinner I should be good to go.

was just discussing this with a friend and I brought up that Tannehill might've given me the feeling that we had another Shuler, not in comparison of QB skillsets, just production

I thiiiiiiiiiiiink we've got a good one here

Ha! One of my colleagues pokes his head in my office and says "Blackmon" and I chucked a pen at him...

Re: 2012 Redskins Draft Day Thread: Round 1
 

Hmmmm....the ESPN crawler is saying the Browns will obtain the 3rd pick.

Re: 2012 Redskins Draft Day Thread: Round 1
 

Richardson is unofficially a Brown. Trade up to Number 3.

Re: 2012 Redskins Draft Day Thread: Round 1
 

Anyone see Griffins interview with Suzy Kolber a few minutes ago?
He says he has a special "sock" surprise.

Re: 2012 Redskins Draft Day Thread: Round 1
 

We've pretty much known the pick would be RGIII (or Luck) so I was excited about the draft weeks ago...not so much anymore. What I'm excited for is the season!! It's going to be awesome watching the offense actually move the ball and put up points!!

HAIL TO THE REDSKINS!!
