ESPN: Robert Griffin III is a Washington Redskin (Merged-- The Everything RG3 Thread- Mocks,News, Rumors etc MET)

They better hurry up and involve Landry in this trade & get it done.

He's bound to look like this by March 13th.

[martytheman]

It's looking that way.

How do you figure?

[Hitman21ST]

How do you figure?

Rams will want to move the pick before FA opens. Because if they hold on to it, then Manning and Flynn get signed, the demand for a QB goes down, and the price goes down.

[Taylor703]

I want RG3 as much as all of us. But our biggest roadblock is not Cleveland's 2 first round picks, it's the fact that the Rams probably want Justin Blackmon and no way he's there at 6. Also, people are jumping the gun here -- don't you think we'll at least wait until RG3's pro-day and visit to Redskins Park before making a deal to give up all those picks??

I disagree. I think the Rams will be happy with Michael Floyd and the extra picks. Floyd is just as good as Blackmon in my opinion.

well that's all well and good, but I was asking how he figures it's looking to be done by tomorrow instead of the 13th.

There was a tweet earlier where it was being reported that the Rams are looking to move the pick within 48 hours. I'm sure thats where he is getting it from.

Because Fisher wants it done before Manning hits the streets and reports out there indicate it could happen before the combine ends (when they are all together to meet). Plus the rumor mill is on fire with it.

[Veretax]

Its a n interesting Mock, but I read an article that suggested the Bruce Irvin might have improved to the 1st Round with his workout. I dunno if I buy that even as an 'Eer Homer, but if it's true you might see him there somewhere.


I think we hold the cards here. We can trade, or not trade, sit or trade down. I mean if we can't get who we want we'll pick someone else.

I'm starting to wonder if we might give up '12 1,2,3,4 and '13 1.

[SkinsFanMania]

I think the Eagles take Kuechly if he's there.

I agree with this statement.

People are making a big deal about the Rams trading down to #6 VS #4 to the Browns.
I'm like, really?

The Rams can still land a blue chip prospect at #6.

#1 Colts=Luck
#2Redskins (via trade rams)=RG3
#3)Vikings=Kalil, Blackmon, Claiborne, Richardson (4 left)
#4)Browns=Kalil, Blackmon, Claiborne, Richardson (3 lef0
#5)Bucs=Kalil, Blackmon, Claiborne, Richardson (2 left)
#6)Rams (via Skins)=Everyone has Riley Reiff locked in here and I completely disagree. (1 left)

The only guy I don't think they'll take is RB Trent Richardson.
You have a Browns team that will have major interest with Hillis gone.
And a Bucs team that could have serious interest.

If either team takes him, that drops either Kalil, Claiborne or Blackmon to #6 for the Rams.
They could use either player for that squad.

Obviously, they want Blackmon, but Claiborne would be a huge upgrade to that secondary & Kalil (#1 OT) falling to #6 would be a steal for them.

And lets say it is Richardson that falls to #6?
It's not like Jackson is young anymore. Dude will be 29 in July.
I would not just scoff this off, even as unlikely as it may seem.

The Rams trading down to #6 is a perfect spot for them to trade down, imo.

[Llevron]

I think if we do this trade ahead of time we should take over the Radio City Music Hall.

I have been talking to a few of my buddies here and we are all on our way if we know we will get the pick. I have a feeling that we are going to take that place over haha.

[Hitman21ST]

I'm starting to wonder if we might give up '12 1,2,3,4 and '13 1.

I'd really like to see something along the lines of '12 1 and 3, and '13 1,3, and 5.

That probably wouldn't do it, but that would be absolutely outstanding if we could pull that.

On ESPN they are saying it would be an 'Eli type deal': http://espn.go.com/nfl/draft2012/sto...nfl-draft-pick

Yes, If we can somehow come out of this keeping our 2nd rounders for 2012 & 13', we could easily parlay those picks by trading down and picking up additional 4th & 5th rounders.

While still picking late in the 2nd round.

it's a genius move.

All in all...the only pick you really can't get back, is the 2013 1st rounder.
All others, are redeemable.

But ONLY if you keep your 2nd rounders.

God I love football!
