PrintYesterday we saw mgaines4, GM of the Colts, select Andrew Luck. The second pick was traded to the Redskins (a deal swung by Charlie Pankey, the Rams GM, and our own Brick Top who is representing the Redskins) and it's now two-for-two on quarterbacks.

Robert Griffin, QB, Baylor |

Pick Grade:
A

"I'm picking RG3. Why? [the Redskins] need a QB badly."
 |
Brick Top kept it short and sweet with his reasoning for drafting Robert Griffin. It's pretty obvious that the Redskins need a QB. It's also obvious that Shanahan would like to keep his job, something that would be very tough to do if they stuck with Rex Grossman.
The Redskins gave up a lot to move up here (which is why I graded the pick is an A rather than a A+), but Griffin is an amazing prospect. He has a great arm, has great accuracy and lest you forget, he can run the hell out of the ball. However, I think the biggest two things you need to look at are his progression throughout the years he has played, along with his intelligence. Those attributes are what separate him from other prospects and that is the reason why the Redskins moved up.
What do you think about the pick? Sound off in the comments, you know the drill! (Check out the schedule, as you might be surprised who is picking next...)

put blackmon...
i would be exstatic! lol watching everyone here losing there freakin minds!
So what did the Redskins give us in return?
Anything less than a 1st, 2nd,4th and a 1st next year is a loss in my mind.

Well then you guys lost
I came with a low offer of my 1st and 2nd this year and a 2nd next year. He took it much to my surprise. I was willing to up the offer a little bit.

Sorry I thought this was a two round draft.
Not to claim the Rookie Card too loudly hear but I agreed to the Trade not out of desperation but in the understanding that we are only doing the first two rounds. So Next years pick is all just for discussion. I don’t think the Rams move with this offer in real draft. Which is probably why they end up picking Second and the Viking get the move.

You got a better deal from Washington in this mock, than you would get from the Browns. In the real draft don’t expect too much for an offer to move up by Cleveland either.
A bargain is something you don't need at a price you can't resist....
If I agreed with you we'd both be wrong!
My mother never saw the irony in calling me a son-of-a-bitch!
Once you start agreeing with TDSH, you know that you're wrong.
Why is surprising that I traded up for the Vikings pick? It's not like I am dumb or anything... Besides, jswirb told me to! He says I can be a Guru too!! lol

HA! Little does anyone know, I have found the greatest receiver of all time...
He’s 7’2" tall, 272 lbs, and runs a 2.7 second 40 yard dash (he only has to take like 5 steps!). He’s never dropped a pass in his life, and in his senior year, he caught 304 passes for 6644 receiving yards.
Being the student of the game that I am, I found him at the University of Phoenix on their online football team. Can I find a sleeper or what! You Mock draft guys have taught me well! :-)

In regards to the Rams, this pick gets an F
1, 2 this year and a 2 next year? If the Skins brought that deal to the table and we took it, we lose. Hell, if the Browns or Fins are in the market, they could easily top that.
Bare minimum (IMO) is a combination of 4 picks. 1, 2 this year and 1, 3 next year would get me interested, but a 1, 2, 4 this year and a 1, 3 next year would probably have me willing to pull the trigger.
Let’s face it, if the skins come out of this free agency period still desperate, they need this move more than any of the other 31 teams in the league. Their QB position has been a wasteland for years. The last promising QB they had was Jason Campbell who was the definition of league average. I just don’t see how the Skins don’t make the move and aren’t desperate with it either if all things remain the same.
The Rams won't get that kind of deal from anybody
Moving up 2, 4 or 7 slots isn’t worth 4 picks.

still a terrible trade for the rams
if that’s the best offer we could get we might as well have taken Kalil.
I was trying to be involved in this :(

Contact the Packer owner and offer a trade for the Falcons? Or you could help me draft for the Broncos? We have the #3 overall pick now
