I was more in favor of trading back like we did for Kerrigan in order to net more picks. That seemed to work very well, and seems more like a way to continue to re-load like the Patriots.
Gotta trust Shan-Allen!

The Redskins have gone since 1985 without a true franchise QB. It was completely necessary for the Redskins front office to pay whatever price it took in order to get a franchise quarterback. We could have had one in the 2005 draft, but Joe Gibbs thought so much of Jason Campbell that he overlooked Aaron Rodgers. If the Redskins can get a strong and athletic RT in the draft to go along with T. Williams, K. Lichtensteiger, Montgomery, and Chester, then the offensive line could flourish into being one of the best in the NFL. Speaking of Griffin III staying healthy, I hope he gains another 15 pounds or so before training camp starts. He's going to get hit a lot by a lot of 245-260 pound linebackers. Griffin III is a slender 223 pounds now so lets hope that he can withstand the hits that an NFL QB takes.
