RG3 would make this team a perennial SB contender. Any player that does that is a steal--regardless of where they are picked or what they cost.

Eh, I disgree there.
RG3 is a nice prospect, but he's not without warts. He's a little undersized, he played in the air-raid system; he's not a can't-miss. He's certainly not so rock-solid that you can state without qualification that he makes the Chiefs a SB contender.
I like RG3. I think the "lay a turd for Robert Griffin the Third" thread was started by me in week 4; I've been a fan of the guy all season. But I'm also not going to completely sell out on him either. We have a lot to learn yet about RGIII and to give up that kind of value for the 75% chance he succeeds could be considered worthwhile, but not such a no-brainer that you call it robbery.
I don't care how much you like RGIII - if you don't swallow
hard before you pull the trigger on that deal, you're simply closing your eyes to the possible consequences. And if you have to swallow that hard, well I don't see how you can consider it thievery.
