cantankerous Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 (edited) http://profootballta...-for-no-2-pick/ Glazer says that the teams will swap first-round picks in 2012, with St. Louis taking the No. 6 pick. The Rams also get two future first-round picks and additional selections, one of which is believed to be a second-rounder. (2) #1's (1) #2 and at least another pick. Damn!

Chandler#81 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Wow! 2-1sts AND a second?!? There goes Washingtons' future. They have to hope RGIII can do it all by himself.Also gives serious credence to Manning in at Denver and Tebow out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloRebound Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 That's crazy. Talk about a panic move. Even if it pans out for Skins, the value of the pick for the Rams was only going to decrease once Manning and Flynn got signed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 I like RGIII. He might be great. Nevertheless, that is a lot to give up for one guy. I am not surprised it is the Redskins making this deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rico Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Congrats to the Redskins, the NFC East will continue to be must-see TV.

truth on hold Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 (edited) 3 #1's 2 #2's per shefter tweet. ESPN says one #2 (this years) http://m.espn.go.com/nfl/story?storyId=7668243 Sweet trade for rams. They'll get a top WR at #6 overall and add 38th overall pick this year. The 13' and 14' # 1's from Skins they can either sit on or trade for something of value now too.

BillsVet Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Now maybe Tebow will come to Buffalo. Well, season ticket sales will most likely be taking another hit after last year. They signed TO after RW ordered Brandon, so it's not out of the question. That goes especially for Tebow, who RW wanted and then came out and said he didn't. Congrats to the Redskins, the NFC East will continue to be must-see TV. Agree that it was an awful lot to give up, but they owed their fanbase something after a year of Beck/Grossman. Congrats to the Rams too, nice haul. Shanahan takes a lot of risks and needs significant resources to be successful and never would get that here with the club to be sold mentality. I just wish the Bills would reward their fan base by signing a big name UFA in lieu of waiting for Buddy's 4 year plan after a then 10 year hiatus from the playoffs. We'll see when the clock hits 4PM on 3/13. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsVet Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 The Bills didn't want Tebow and they won't want him if he becomes available. Allow me to play you for a moment: Prove me wrong. And what prompted that outburst from RW after Tebow was selected in the first round? Argue if you will, but owners do not call out other teams after draft day about what they've done wrong. Bizarre behavior from an elderly man who clearly had something in mind when he made that statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerball Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Yeah, it includes the swap of 1sts, so it's really not exactly 3-1's. The Rams have Peyton Manning to thank for this deal getting done so early. When Peyton narrowed his choices to Denver, Arizona & Miami the Redskins knew that they had to make this move. This leaves Manning or Flynn or possibly Kolb (if Manning goes to AZ) for Miami to go after. Am I missing anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This leaves Manning or Flynn or possibly Kolb (if Manning goes to AZ) for Miami to go after. Am I missing anyone? I think it's basically Flynn, or stick with Moore, at this point.

If I were Manning, I'd rather play in Denver than Miami or Arizona because they just came off a playoff season and have a good HC who isn't in his first coaching stint, much less his first year.
