| The Redskins traded four draft picks for the #2 overall pick. Drafting Robert Griffin III here will make them one of the most fun teams in Madden this August. |
Washington needed to secure a quarterback and as we all know, this is the offseason to do it.
This offseason's edition of musical quarterbacks involved Andrew Luck, Robert Griffin III and Peyton Manning. Although none of these quarterback's destinations are set in stone, tonight's trade between the Redskins and Rams give you a more complete view of the picture. In a Williams-esque deal, the Skins gave the Rams the sixth overall pick in this year's draft, two ones and a two for the 2nd overall pick.
Here's what we are most likely looking at coming into next year:
Colts: Andrew Luck
Redskins: Robert Griffin
Dolphins: Peyton Manning
I mentioned Peyton going to the Dolphins and this looks like the best situation for him. He can bring his talents to South Beach. Reggie Wayne is a free agent and Manning has a condo in Miami where he is staying right now. The Colts are also actively shopping Dwight Freeney around. Manning has a chance to shove this new team up Tom Brady's ass twice a year. Manning potentially throwing to Anthony Fasano, Davone Bess, Reggie Wayne and Brandon Marshall along with any potential receivers who can Manning can turn into overnight stars. Not to mention he has Reggie Bush in his offense. That's illegal.
As for the city of Miami, you will need more than an island to house all of the stars in that city. It will also put the onus on the Panthers to pick up a star, seeing that they are starting play quality hockey. Miami will be All-Sports City #3 joining Boston and "The City of Smart Fans."
Acquiring Peyton Manning will also leave Cleveland standing up in this game of musical quarterbacks. This means Cleveland has the choice of drafting a second tier quarterback or rolling with Colt McCoy
Miami 2 Cleveland 0
The Rams are big winners this offseason. The Rams demanded a king's ransom for the #2 pick for two reasons. First and foremost, the gaudy price tag on Robert Griffin that was made steeper at the combine. Additionally, you were paying the Rams not to take USC's Matt Kalil. Kalil is easily the third best prospect in the draft and will don a Minnesota Viking uniform if the Vikes know what is good for them. This man would have been Sam Bradford's personal bodyguard, but holding the 6th pick and and three other high draft picks from a team that will not have immediate success is a great consolation prize.
So here's a toast to the St. Louis Rams. The team that cemented their future this weekend.
