Redskins Make Major Move to Draft Robert Griffin III
The Washington Redskins have made a major move to draft quarterback Robert Griffin III. The Redskins will give up three first-round picks (in 2012, 2013 and 2014) and this year’s second-rounder to the St. Louis Rams in a trade that will allow them to pick Robert Griffin III in the 2012 NFL Draft.
It is obvious that the Washington Redskins have been desperate to fix their problems at the quarterback position. They made big news a couple of seasons ago when the Donovan McNabb trade did not work out for them. The Redskins made a gutsy move giving up so many picks for a player that has not played one single NFL game. If RG3 plays up to his potential, it may be worth it. If he doesn’t play well in the NFL, the Redskins have much to lose.
