Two 1st's & a 3rd? Still unsure if its worth it...

“I like the way the kid plays,” Marino said Monday on his weekly show with former Miami Dolphins teammate Joe Rose on WQAM radio.
”I’ve watched him a couple times,” Marino continued. “I’ve met him on our [CBS] set. He seems like a really good kid. He understands the whole process and what he’s doing. You can tell he’s a very athletic player, and he can throw it.”
However …

“He’s not as tall as I thought,” Marino said, a tinge of disappointment in his voice. “I thought he was taller. He’s not as tall.”


For now, drafting RG3 will seemingly require the Dolphins to move up from the eighth or ninth slot to assume the Rams’ No. 2 overall selection — at least at this point.
“From what I understand, I’ve heard it’s at least two No. 1’s, then probably a [third-round pick] a year later or something,” Marino said. “There’s only a couple guys you’re looking at saying, ‘Oh, my God, we have to have him! He’s going to be our franchise player for a while, a guy we can rely on to have a chance to get to the playoffs every year.’ ”

How would Marino feel about paying the bounty that would require?
“There’s nothing wrong with taking a chance on that if you believe in him — completely believe in him,” Marino said. “After that, who are you talking about?”

Uh, nobody until Round 2?
“There’s no doubt,” Marino said. “That’s it. Sometimes maybe it’s worth the price, you know?”
 
Dont know about that, what about 4-1st's to move up to the #1 pick................
 
If you feel this is your guy and he is your franchise QB, then 2 1st's and a 3rd is well worth it. You have to realize its actually an additional 1st and 3rd, cause you would be swapping this years 1st. That's not a lot IF - and this is a BIG IF - you think he is the QB of the future.
 
not sold on RG III, but I am intrigued. wondering how his skill set would work in the WCO
 
do we really think Joe wants to give away pedigree picks so as to handcuff himself? the way to the top is by acquiring picks, not the opposite.
 
Out of curiosity, why would the 2nd overall pick only require two 1's and a 3rd pick? Falcons gave up two 1's a 2nd, and two 4ths for the 6th overall pick. I know they didnt have a top 10 pick but still, seems like a lot more.

Well we don't really know that's all it would take, it's merely speculation at this points but... The Falcons were picking in the 20's. Sliding down almost 20 spots from 6 is going to take a lot more than sliding down 6 or 7 slots and still having a top 10 pick.
 
The question should have been, "If you were the Dolphin's GM Dan, would you move up to take RG3 in exchange for two first rounders and a third rounder."

I am sure Dan would have answered, "No," in this case. I am happy Dan is doing the pre-game show and not running the team as a GM. You look at great athletes like Michael Jordan, and Isiah Thomas in the NBA, and John Elway with the Broncos, and they haven't exactly made great moves as V.P.'s/GM's.

Elway has been around for 1 draft. And how is Von Miller? Bust?
 
I dont know if RGIII is worth that but i agree on Marinos point.
If you feel that you have your guy then you go and make that trade.
A first and third is not that bad. Wonder if indie would trade there pick.
