I think the answer is in your own post Value. They could try to trade him for a pick in the future.

teams that do that are usually teams that are winning and contending every year, ie Packers, Eagles, etc etc, the Redskins, who have a limited amount of draft picks, should be more focused on aquiring some talent for their team. they spent a 3rd rounder on him, at best a break even deal??

i was little suprised that Denver took a QB in the 2nd round after investing 96 million in Manning, but i can see some logic there, cause there is some health concerns with Manning. i still wouldnt have made that pick if i were Denver. at least not my 2nd rounder.

The Redskins FO think they will be contending. We shall see.

Yeah, it was definitely not a popular pick. Neither was the RB. The OL however, have a chance to start.

This time last year, people wondered why they passed on Gabbert. I don't think he is going to be any good.

I think the QB the Skins are going to regret not trading up for (and many will probably laugh at this) is Jake Locker (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPlx_7ZWBAY).

You like Locker better than Griffin? I do think the Titans got a steal with Locker, he had one bad year and people jumped off his train. Philip Rivers was horrible last season but we all know he goes top 5 in every draft since he was actually drafted.

I like RG3 better. I should have added "if Griffin doesn't work out".

Nah, I think that kid is a rare breed (Griffin).

I like Griffin too but he looks kind of fragile. What if D.Ware rips his arm off?
All joking aside I am excited for the competition in years to come.

.

Cousins is a 4th rounder

And do not forget what your franchise did in 1989, after taking Aikman number 1 overall, took Walsh with the 1st pick in the supplemental draft that year, which turned out to be the number 1 pick in the 1990 draft.

Cousins is hopefully a term life insurance policy that Shanny can sell in 2 years for some decent picks

Well, if he gets hurt, Cousins will come in and likely do a decent job.

That was Shanahan's reason for drafting him: Depth and "in case of injury".

They like competition. They even brought in competition for Mr Haslett--ie Raheem Morris.

Dont forget that Dallas got very lucky that the Saints were stupid and gave up way to much for Walsh and bailed Jimmy out on really stupid decision.

Picking Walsh like that wasn't smart because it caused doubt for Aikman that Jimmy trusted him and that Aikman was really his guy.

That's been talked about many times. In fact I've read where Jimmy Johnson once told Brad Sham that he was seriously considering starting Steve Walsh and Brad told him that the Cowboys fans would run him out of town if he did. Something to that effect. I'd have to look it up where i read it again.

That wasn't the best decision on Jimmy's part but thankfully he was able to rectify it latter and basically stole from the Saints.


I don't see to many teams out there who are stupid enough to fall for deals like that anymore.

Every F.O. believes they will be contending. but no matter how your F.O. spins it, imo this is a very controversial pick, what kind of signal does that send? you almost have an instant QB controversy on your hands...just my 2 cents.

The Colts took Luck and followed it with Fleener, a nice weapon for him, I think the Skins shouldve done something similar.

I hear you man, not really ecstatic about the move, but if the move bothers RG3 then perhaps we got the wrong guy.

RGIII IMO is a little too worried with style both on and off the field. Watch when he throws he kinda poses and snaps his arm back. If things go bad early could be catastrophic. And like someone else wrote he looks fragile even though he measures big.

And I sure hope he is the biggest bust since Mt Rushmore.

Hmm, I guess that is something the Allen/Shanahan missed...
sounds pretty similar to what some of the unnamed scouts (from Cleveland) are saying:

Rg3 could be spending that time he spends picking out socks, on learning the playbook.
We do seem to get the freaks (Riggins, Hogs, Hogettes, Portis, Fun Bunch etc..).
