With a new head coach and Sam Bradford, the Rams gotta be feeling really good about this deal.

As a fan I didn't wanna see RGIII go to the Redskins because I think they are a dysfunctional franchise and I'm a Cowboys fan... So if they suck as expected he won't be very good and if they do well they will beat up on my team.

I'm screwed either way

Yeah I feel bad for RG3 career-wise. Sure, I don't feel bad for him for getting millions upon millions, but career-wise the Redskins are just so dysfunctional and it seems like anyone who goes there just ends up sucking and struggling.

I thought my Browns were going to get the #2 pick for sure. They tried to make a last minute run, and I haven't heard what exactly fell through. As a Browns fan though, I don't know if RG3 would have been worth losing 3 first round picks, but then again maybe he is. Assuming we keep Colt as our starter, which I'm kind of all for, I think its time to focus on getting players around him, like Justin Blackmon.

I think this was a terrible idea to give up so much. I understand that Cleveland would have beat them to the punch anyway but still that is too much to give up.
This move was made by Bruce Allen and Mike Shanahan not Dan Snyder. All of you think of the Redskins during the old regime.

When Mike Shanahan and Bruce Allen took over they had a lot of work to do. They've made progress but no one wants to see that. They want the Redskins to fail. Two first round and a second for the #2 overall pick. They needed a QB.

Heard the Browns were offering 3 #1s, and the Skins threw in the #2 to sweeten the pot.

Carson Palmer really skewed the value of draft picks. Thanks again Raiders.

Hopefully my Vikes wont overthink it, and take Kalil w #3.

Look after 10 years of realtive mediocrity what else do you expect fans to do? No one wants to see them fail, but with their recent history they expect failure. I'll admit they made solid moves the last two years but it will take a couple of more years of wise moves before the Redskins can be taken seriously as a competent franchise.

I dunno. Justin Blackmon may be worth considering for the Vikings. They could use WR help but I agree Kalil is the best direction.

Yeah Browns offered their #4 and #22 this year and I think a 2nd rounder, and next years #1. Were not willing to give 2014's #1 pick, and I'm kind of glad they didn't. (I think I have those facts correct)

I think your Vikes will end up with Kalil, which is a good pick up. I really want the Browns to take Blackmon so I don't think I need to worry about the Vikes taking him, although the Vikings could trade out maybe? I don't know.
