Rumor: Redskins prepared to offer at least 4 picks for the #2 pick.

[The Franchise]

www.Rotoworld.com

Teams sources tell NBC Philadelphia's Howard Eskin the Redskins are prepared to offer the Rams their top three 2012 picks and "at least" their 2013 first-round pick to move up to draft Baylor QB Robert Griffin III.

If true, it would be a positively Ricky Williams-ian haul for the Rams, who saw the value of their No. 2 pick increase even further on Sunday when Griffin was unofficially timed at a blazing 4.38 in the 40 at the Combine. Eskin's report comes two days after SI.com's Tony Pauline reported the Rams have engaged in "exploratory talks" with the Redskins about a swap. Source: Howard Eskin on Twitter

I'd do it...

I would trade the whole thing for RG3

If true, the Redskins are giving around 3500 points in draft trade value (if you go by the old draft pick value chart). For the Chiefs to do the same thing they'd need to give up the entire 2012 draft PLUS the first and second from next year. If this report is true I just don't see how KC has the firepower unless you do a deal where Carr is somehow thrown into the mix which seems unlikely (and even then you're still looking at all of this year's meaningful picks as well as next year's 1).

The Chiefs have to do more than trade away the entire draft to match Wasington:

Match:
1st round 2012 (#11)
2nd round 2012 (#44)
3rd round 2012 (#75)
1st round 2013 (TBD)
2nd round 2013 (TBD)
That's a 435 point differential (Chiefs stagger between #11 and #12 picks all draft)

The rest of the draft, the Chiefs have 149.6 points (factoring in Jarrad Page 7th rounder). That means even if the Chiefs give away the entire 2012 draft + 2013 first and second round, they are still 285.4 points behind. That means the Chiefs have to give up pretty much a 2013 third round pick as well in order to make up for that difference.

So in order to match Washington, our trade comp needs to be:
Entire 2012 draft (8 picks)
2013 draft: first round, second round, third round

OR

1st, 2nd, 3rd in 2012
1st, 2nd, 3rd in 2013
Likely a 2nd rounder in 2014

That's assuming we use the old trade chart (there's no doubt that trade value went up a ton in 2012). That's not even factoring in that Washington will be bad in 2012 even with RGIII, whereas the Chiefs could be a top 10 team. So even for 2013 picks, I'm sure STL believes the Chiefs will be 10 or so picks behind Washington.

I think it will cost us AT LEAST 3 firsts, 2 seconds, and 2 thirds to match this offer.

I bet we see even more insane rumors than this as the draft approaches. The hype for Griffin is going to be off the charts. Just wait until he has his pro day.

Romeo would have a beer with him. Does that count for something?

Unsubstantiated. Romeo is on a strict diet and is not drinking beer.

Exactly.

No eff'n way would I trade the entire draft, and sacrifice a bit of next years draft to get him.

Yep. The only people ready to trade 3-5 years worth of picks for him are ****ing morons.

I just heard Griffin say that Harbaugh recruited him for Standford. Luck and Griffin? Or was it Luck or Griffin?
