2014 draft prospects Early edition

[GTripp0012]

The depth of this draft is why its almost always a bad idea to trade three first round picks for any one player. Griffin is the best player on this roster, but even acknowledging that, he's probably not better than what will be available at no. 2 (Clowney/Bridgewater/et al). And the Redskins are now down a pick in a potentially franchise changing draft.

RG3 is going to develop and no one is going to regret the trade that was made for him, but that deal is a reminder that you can't build a strong franchise on the backs of bad ideas.
