Default Redskins get trade raped

They give up three 1st-round draft picks and a 2nd round pick in order to move up four whole spots.

The Rams move back from #2 overall to #6 overall.

Considering that the Skins are in the same division as the Eagles, Giants, and Cowboys...it's a pretty safe bet those two other 1st round picks will be high ones as well.

Fisher backed himself into another great situation. He's got 3 draft picks in the top 40 this year. Two 1st rounders (both will probably be top 10 overall picks) in next years draft ... and two more 1st rounders the year after that.

Not to mention...former #1 overall pick Sam Bradford was excellent as a rookie and has only played for two years.

Rams were in great position having a franchise QB and the Number 2 pick. I am sure they received offers of 2 Ones and a 2 for the pick.

The Rams are going to be freaking awesome.

Chris Long is one of the best pass rushers in the entire game. They took an excellent pash rusher in the 1st round last year in Robert Quinn.

Chris Long had 13 sacks and Quinn had 5 sacks and 3 blocked punts.

They did that despite the fact that the Rams top 4 cornerbacks were on injured reserve and the fact that the Rams had a terrible run defense and were always behind in games.

Give Chris Long and Quinn a healthy secondary, a competent offense that forces teams to have to pass and score, and a run defense that isn't brutal ... and both of these guys are easily capable of 15 to 20 sacks.

There was one point last year where Chris Long had 13 sacks and the Rams entire offensive unit had only scored 12 touchdowns.

Having great young pass rushers does no one any good when the corners can't cover, the defense can't stop the run, and the offense can't score, and teams just want to grind the clock out with runs and quick passes.

I don't want to mush Griffin III and the Redskins but this is awfully early to do this trade. A lot can go wrong before now and the draft.

Snyder will never get it, you have to develope your draft picks and free agents in the salary cap age. Even if Griffin is great the Redskins will struggle for the next five years.

response to Manning rejection. Big gamble!

Maybe I am crazy but I don't think this is a bad trade IF you are convinced that RG3 is the next coming.

A somewhat washed up mediocrity like Carson Palmer commanded two first round picks. Look at what the bears traded for cutler.

I am of the opinion that QB is the most important position on the field by far and if you see "the guy" you do whatever it takes to get him. If RG3 IS what they think, it ends up a steal. If not, they should blame the talent evaluator and not the negotiator.

I think RG is the real deal.
