There is a good chance the Rams end up with a top 3 draft pick this year and could draft the top OT (Matthews), top WR (Watskins), top Defensive player (Clowney), a QB, or trade it for more more first round picks.

Yeah thought you may have forgot about the Walker trade. And NO trading all their draft picks for the right to draft Ricky Williams was another bad deal.

yeah, but i think the rams will end up with lot more (high end picks) than what NO traded. They've already drafted a very good young LB and Janoris Jenkins b/c of the skins trade. If they get a player like Clowney or Watkins, or 2 more first rounders, that would be getting close to that Cowboys/Vikings trade. You just can't expect to draft an Emmitt Smith.

No. The rg3 trade put the redskins back on the relevance map. Good trade on publicity alone. How many other 3 win teams are constantly being the lead story this year? this was a wasted season for the skins and look how many prime time games they have been in. How many have the browns been in? Cleveland still doesnt have a qb, redskins dont have that problem

being relevant doesn't win football games. it only makes dan snyder richer. rg3 is a running qb and his nfl lifespan could be less than 5 years.


either way, i hope these draft picks can get the rams back on track for the playoffs one day. but doubtful unless they can get a lot more out of the qb position.

[pavyracer]

Washington Redskins is the richest NFL franchise. This tells me that regardless of their on field performance or ownership's inability to put a competitive team on the field the fans are sheep alike and will spend money to watch this team underperform year after year.

Rams still need a qb. So I don't see where the Redskins were fleeced at all.

[C-Gold]

Redskins won 6 games with Rex Grossman and he didn't have Pierre Garcon to throw 2.

RG3-9 has a better team and a worse record.

True but skins lacking a ton of talent. Talent they could have with all these picks.


Skins losing with a qb. Rams losing less without a qb. Who would you rather be?

[Bluehorseshoe]

Who was the player who refused to come to Dallas in the trade originally?

[Bluehorseshoe]

Never mind. It was Darren Nelson.

I missed it in the Wiki.

[matt1216]

Dude, this is his 2nd year. If guys have guys go on to have slumps ... These r the years

Bad year to have a slump when you miss out on a top 5 draft pick.

is rg3 the best qb on the skins?

[broadway6]

is rg3 the best qb on the skins?

If 100% healthy yes, but he hasn't looked like last years qb this year.

But I rather have Cousins and these draft picks.

[jimminn]

How did RG 3 get drafted a head of that little guy in Seattle? Scouts don't know shit

[broadway6]

No he isn't...Stop trying to be politically correct. That is the often used excuse with the black quarterback. That is why they are undraftable. If he was good, the Rams would not be selecting top 3 in a QB driven league.

Guy I made the thread saying this could be the worst trade ever. But skins went to the playoffs then RG tore his knee up.

[jimminn]

OR do u think RG could be a decent quarterback on Seattles team?
