Was about to post this. Sucks for the kid, hope he does well though

That sucks for Colt. That means he's stuck in Cleveland. Griffin was his best chance to get the hell out of that shithole. Maybe Cleveland finally wises up and actually tries to put some offensive talent on the field with Colt.

HAHA yeah right that organization is the aggy of the NFL. They will trade down and pick up spare ass Tannehill and take a corner a safety and a kicker with the picks. That sounds like a joke but In actuality trading down and taking tanny is prob what they will do.

Oh yeah Colt will then beat out tanny easily and still be stuck there with no talent around him

Agree, they gave up waaay too much in that trade.

This may be the worst trade I've ever seen in my life. Redskins front office once again shows their incompetence. The only reason I'm pissed is because the f'n Rams got away with highway robbery and they're in the NFC West. However, they have many more needs than a few first rounders can fill (obligatory that's what she said).

Redskins way overpaid since RG3 is still just a prospect. No one knows what he can do at the next level.

But I really, really like RG3 and he may turn out to be great. If he does people will view this trade like they do the Giants moving up to pick Eli Manning.

The pressure is really on the rams now. Everyone always talks about the Herschel Walker trade like it was a steal. It was essentially the same trade as the Eric Dickenson trade a couple of years earlier. Jimmy Johnson used his picks on Emmett Smith and Darren Woodson, etc...The rams used their picks on Gaston Green and Aaron Cox, etc...

Let's see how this one plays out in a few years.

Truly hard to believe that Andrew Luck (of Houston, TX) will be taken #1 & RGIII (of Copperas Cove, TX) taken #2 in the draft...& neither offered by The University of Texas

With free agency, you never know what they can do for sure. One thing for sure, the Rams are set to build a powerhouse.

I guess I will be in the minority, but that is a GREAT move by the Redskins.

I don't see how Luck is that much better a prospect than Griffin on the field. Off the field (as the face of a franchise), Griffin is exactly what the Redskins need. He will put people in the stands and is a player that they can build around.

I feel bad for Griffin, but he is exactly the kind of kid I would want to build a team around in terms of athletic talent and PR potential.

That's exactly what I'm saying! This makes no sense to me. It seems like Harsin and Applewhite are doing a better job of evaluating than the previous staff though.

Luck was quoted many months ago as saying that when he and his father, Oliver, visited Stanford as a boy and met Bill Walsh that his mind was already made up that he wanted to go to Stanford. That was always his hearts desire. That same thought was also mentioned way back on some earlier threads elsewhere when Luck was a junior at Stratford that Texas was considered, but not really his hearts desire. When Stanford offered, it was an automatic. That is why Mack did not offer him. Mack knew about all the behind the scenes information and could not win the battle.

Herschel Walker type deal.
