RGIII a future Texan?

He certainly has improved his throwing mechanics since then. Thanks for dredging up that old, old post I made.

And, no, he's not going to be drafted by the Texans, which was the topic I was addressing.

All in fun. The truth is any of us who has posted more than once has been spectacularly wrong on here plenty of times.

And I think the throwing mechanics were fine before, you were just associating him with Vince Young for some reason.

And as a sidenote, Griffin signed with UH originally and only went to Baylor because he followed Briles.

Appears RG3 is going to Washington as Redskins traded up to no 2 slot in this years draft.

Probably a good decision.

All. They gave up to Rams is a first and second this year and first in two following years.

That's a very steep price but that seems to be the Redskin way. How many quarterback saviors have they had the past few years? How much did they spend on Donovan McNabb?

That is a giant price tag to go from 6 to 2. Way bigger than Manning cost the Giants to move up from 5 to 1. I think we will see that with the new rookie salary scale, those high firsts are more valuable than ever.

I guess this trade blew away all of those Draft-Value charts out there for the value of Draft picks used when calculating consideration in an exchange of
picks ?
BTW, anybody know how they calculate the present value of Draft picks from future years since there's gotta be a discounting factor used, right ?

I believe for future picks you drop them a round per year, so the Redskins' 2013 first rounder would be worth the same as the sixth pick in the second round on the value chart.

So then that would make their 2014 first round pick only worth a 3rd rounder in 2012 terms ? That's quite a deep discount.

That's the way I see it too.

Remember the risk for the Rams is that the Skins get good and their picks are late in the round, thus present value is a severe discount.
