Rams trade #2 pick to Redskins

[Naiirb]

The Dolphins had better offer Peyton Manning more money, because their Plan B has now evaporated.

Jay Glazer of FOX Sports reports that the Rams and the Redskins have agreed to terms on a deal that will send the second overall pick in the 2012 draft to Washington. The Redskins undoubtedly will pick quarterback Robert Griffin III. (Or, at the very worst, Andrew Luck.)

Glazer says that the team will swap first-round picks in 2012, with St. Louis taking the No. 6 pick. The Rams also get two future first-round picks and additional selections, one of which is believed to be a second-rounder.

The trade can’t be finalized until the new league year begins on Tuesday at 4:00 p.m. ET.

Glad RG3 didn't end up in Cleveland personally. He's going to be a great fit with Shanahan and gets to play in a huge market now.

God that sucks!!! That means that RG3 will end up as a ****ing Redskin!!


God, I hate that team.

[Brisco_County]

Wow! They sold the farm on that one.

[TexanSam]

Wow. Two future first round picks and at least one second. Quite a haul by the Rams.

Washington will suck for years.

Incredible that #Rams get two future 1st-round picks & a 2nd-rounder for moving down 4 slots in the draft. I mean, just think about that.

Wtf? Why couldn't we get a deal like that what when we were drafting top 5? I know, the new rookie pay scale makes it feasible but it still sucks.

[badboy]

hopefully that eliminates Cleveland selecting Wright.

[Dutchrudder]

Sweet. I'm happy, as it means the Browns will not waste 3 1sts on that guy. I like RG3 a lot, but sending that many picks for him isn't worth it for the Browns. Justin Blackmon will be a Cleveland Brown

Well the Rams will be dangerous in a couple of years if they have any luck drafting the next couple of years. Damn the Rams are going to have a ton of 1st round draft picks. Welcome to the playoffs.

Well if you're a fan of RG3 then you should be happy for him... He's going to be a BEAST in that system (assuming DanO has enough patience). That guy is going to be unstoppable on roll outs and naked boots. I'm glad he's going to the NFC as well.

If RG3 is as awesome as everyone expects, the best part is we get to watch him beat up on the Cowgirls twice every year

Yep but those are not 2012 picks. They get better over the years.

The Rams do not need a QB and RG3 is going to be a franchise QB.

[mussop]

Good, he will show what a difference it makes having a mobile QB in this system. He is going to be a superstar. Wouldn't it be funny if Indy decided to take RG111?

I just hate the Skins man. Hate their uni's, their owner, and everything about that franchise. Always have.

I really like RG3 and he's one of the best QB's I've ever seen heading into the draft. People like to make all of these comparisons to different running QB's with him because he's fast and mainly because he's black so he gets compared to guys like Vick and Cam Newton, but to me he is more like a much faster version of Aaron Rodgers with slightly less of an arm. Over all he is a much better prospect than what Rodgers was when Rodgers entered the draft.

Wow! Fisher is off to a good start.

RG3 reminds me of Steve Young. Too bad for him the Skins don't have Jerry Rice.

I make that deal all day long if I'm ..... the Redskins.

RGIII is a star on/off the field -- great guy.

1 Miami Long, Jake OT
2 St. Louis Long, Chris DE
3 Atlanta Ryan, Matt QB
4 Oakland McFadden, Darren RB
5 Kansas City Dorsey, Glenn DT
6 NY Jets Gholston, Vernon DE
7 New Orleans Ellis, Sedrick DT

9 Cincinnati Rivers, Keith LB
10 New England Mayo, Jerod OLB
11 Buffalo McKelvin, Leodis CB
12 Denver Clady, Ryan OT
13 Carolina Stewart, Jonathan RB
14 Chicago Williams, Chris OT
15 Kansas City Albert, Branden OG
16 Arizona Rodgers-Cromartie, Dominique CB
17 Detroit Cherilus, Gosder OT
18 Baltimore Flacco, Joe QB
19 Carolina Otah, Jeff OT
20 Tampa Bay Talib, Aqib CB
21 Atlanta Baker, Sam OT
22 Dallas Jones, Felix RB
23 Pittsburgh Mendenhall, Rashard RB
24 Tennessee Johnson, Chris RB

Not if Griffin does what I think he will do.

Those 1st rders will be low picks. If the scouting dept does their jobs and with Snyders willingness to spend in FA the Redskins should be a good team.

Quick: when is the last time the Redskins had a great QB?
