Commanders Post at The Warpath - View Single Post - And with the 6th pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, the redskins select...........

The Redskins need to trade the 6th pick along with their 3rd and 4th rounders this year plus their 1st and 2nd next year to get the second pick from the Rams and RG3. This is a lot, but it sounds like a lot more than it really is. The Skins would still have their 2nd rounder this year, plus a 4th, 5th, 6th and (possibly) 2 7th round picks. So they will still have 7 picks this year and the 3rd round will be the only round the Skins are not drafting in. This situation does not sound like the "morgaging the future" argument many people have about trading up. Now, I know the first and second next year sounds really steep but the Redskins can make up for that loss by bringing in 2 top starters through Free Agency in the next 2 offseasons. Considering they are almost 50 million under the cap, this can be done. If the Redskins try and make this deal SOON it might be too good for the Rams to pass up and the Browns might not have the opportunity to beat it. I don't think the Browns will pay that much just to move up 2 spots. Maybe I'm looking at it through cloudy eyes because I want RG3 to become a Redskin so bad but I think if the Skins pull the trigger with this deal early, it can get done.
