Redskins acquire 2nd Overall Pick, presumably RGIII

This trade is going to be scrutinized for years to come. Those draft picks could net a couple of stars for the Rams. The better that they do, the more pressure there will be on Griffin.

I really hope this works out for the Rams because lord knows if RG 3 reaches his ceiling they will be remembered for keeping Bradford over RG 3. Rams need offensive line help as well as receivers. I think it's a mistake taking Claiborne considering they can't score worth a lick.

As Rafael knows form Twitter last night, I love the move. Beyond the field this is a major win for Washington. They have desperately been trying to have a face of the franchise, a charismatic leader, a franchise QB and star you can build around. Dan Snyder is tired of being the first thing you think of when you hear the team name. It's a very long overdue cultural and paradigm shift. It helps that RG3 is a bright, funny, media-savvy black man, all of which will play very well in DC.

It also buys Shanahan time. 2012 was set up as a make-or-break year but this move buys then at least two more seasons.

Even if it fails, at least they tried, they went down swinging. As a fan I respect that and appreciate that. As a Cleveland native I'm acutely sensitive that my hometown would never do something like this and that's why that city hasn't won a title in any sport in 50 years.

I don't know, the Redskins are always swinging. Since Daniel Snyder got there he's been constantly attempting to make the big splash move, and doesn't have much to show for it. If he's not right on this it's going to set the Redskins back for a while.

I love this for Washington. They desperately needs to win, and Snyder deserves a winner, so I hope it works out for him.

John Elway and Barry Sanders are truly the only two players that I ever considered myself a fan of, now I intend on supporting RGIII, so I hope he ends up having a hall of fame career.

little danny snyder deserves dick

will be interesting to see how this plays out in a few years on Top 10 Busts or Top 10 Draft trades on the nfl network.
