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

[Luxorreb]

This is a great trade. Although I'm still not totally convinced that Irsay takes Luck. Either way we have a franchise QB. I know a 1st for 1st, 2nd, 1st, 1st seems like a lot. But it's really not if we consistently play .500 ball. Sure we need other areas. All teams do. Even the Pats or Packers. I'm excited to see Luck or more probably RG3 in Burgundy and Gold! Go Redskins! Thanks for making my offseason always exciting!!!

That's gotta be most ridiculous idea I've ever heard.

I read many of the post on the RGIII trade for our 1st-2012,1st-2013,1st-2014, and 2nd-2012. Look the 2012 1st rd pick we moved up 4 spots and the Rams moved down 4 spots, so we gave them our 2012-2nd. I would have rather gave them a lower pick say our 4th or 3rd 2012 pick. So really we gave up (2) 1st rd picks (2013-2014) and 2012 2nd rd pick. Is it to much? Maybe but we have never had a franchise QB that we drafted. Ramsey and Campbell are the last 2 QB's we have taken in the 1st round. I would rather have RGIII 6-2, 220 lb, 4.41 speed who has a rocket of a arm and is very smart. He is not a knucklehead who will get into off the field incidents or fail a drug test. He is the new breed of QB that you need to keep defensive Cordinators up all night. Im riding with RGIII and Redskins Nation to keep this thing fixed. Many of you were not even around when we were winning Super Bowls. So what if we lose a few bandwagon fans, we don't need you cause your dead weight. HTTR

Ross Tucker with the best tweet of the night lol


Ross Tucker ‏ @RossTuckerNFL
No such thing as giving up too much for truly elite QB. If he's not, everyone's getting fired anyway so who cares?

[EARTHQUAKE2689]

Ross Tucker. Brilliant. Who gives a damn what we gave up right now. We have our QB of the future. On to free agency.

everyone (except warriorzpath) was saying peyton, rg3, or bust... well peyton said no, so guess what? we got the other guy. it's really that simple. and yeah, the price sucks, but if he wins superbowls, no ones going to say anything about it besides how stupid the rams were to pass on him... and if he sucks, everyone's fired and it's the same old crappy season that we're all used to anyways.

That's pretty much how I feel. If this team is going to lose games, at least trick me into thinking you're actually trying to win them in the first place. I was pretty pissed going into last season with Grossman and Beck; this offseason I badly wanted Robert Griffin III, I can't complain now. I'm actually ecstatic now. At least we're taking a chance on winning as opposed to trotting out the same garbage quarterbacks we did last year. Seriously, I had absolutely no faith in Beck or Grossman putting together enough wins to get into the playoffs and...shocker they didn't. I'm actually energized as a fan again because I want to see how this kid works out. Damn this Kool-Aid tastes good...lol.

Look, I'm not crazy about what we gave up, but no one will be talking me off of any ledges either. It might be a tough pill to swallow, but I can do it because I think there are only 2 franchise quarterbacks in this draft and now we're getting one of them. This is the first time in a long time I've felt like the Skins are in a good spot at QB. For me, that's worth the price.

Didn't know what thread to put this in didn't want to start another.

New draft board:

Round 3- Harrison Smith S, Mitchell Schwartz OT ,Alameda Ta'aamu NT
Round 4-, Nate Potter OT, Brandon Brooks OG, , Lardarius Green TE, Aaron Henry S
Round 4- Chris Rainey SP, Terrance Ganaway RB/FB,
Round 5-Devier Posey and BPA,

Now let's get him some help at WR, this is a great trade for us idc what we gave up he's a future star QB and now we have a face finally

[QUOTE=Gtothearry;894714]That would've been nice.

I'm hearing the Browns attempted to match our offer but we already had an agreement in place with the Rams. So, the Rams didn't renig on the deal after it was in place.[/QUOTE

Class move

Would it be a class move if we traded the number 2 pick to the browns for their slightly better offer???

[redsk1]

It's not 3 1st rounders, we're swapping 1's this year, so we would be giving up 2 first rounders.

Yea, a lot of people seem to be misquoting this trade. The media is portraying it as 3 first rounders though.

Two first rounders and a second round pick. I was hoping I would wake up this morning to hear the 2nd round pick being mentioned wasn't included but no luck with that.
