Dolphins should have traded for 2nd pick (Colts might take RGIII)

If we were landing all-pros with these #1 picks there might be a point. The kind of players we've been drafting in the 1st round are not going to win you a SB. I'd give five #1s for Luck. Throw in our penchant for blown picks and it makes the price even more attractive.
 
IMHO...No player is worth what the Redskins gave up to pick at #2. Ireland is a boob, but he made the right call...selling the farm for a player is crazy.
 
You could do it and come out ahead if you did it for a guy like Brees, Brady, Rogers, either Manning, etc. It will blow up in your face if you're wrong. But all those #1 picks spent on guys who's names I barely remember anymore blew up in our faces, too.

Bad drafting killed the past decade for us.

For all the RGIII haters out there, we might have landed Luck with the 2nd overall pick.

I still don't understand why the Dolphins didn't seriously ponder this trade once they had a feeling Manning wasn't coming to SoBe.

Who says they didn't seriously ponder this trade? Do you have Ross's & Ireland's phones tapped? The Redskins gave up 3 1st round picks + swapped 2nds. Seriously, how much is to much for an unproven rookie that plays a position with a ~50% failure rate? Should we have offered 4 1st rounders? 5? What happens when/if he flops/gets injured? What are you going to do then?
 
RG3's agent told Jim Irsay, "NO THANKS," when the Colts wanted to have RG3 go through a private workout for them....so I think you can pencil in Luck to the Colts and RG3 to the Skins.

This is true, but part of that bad drafting was never really going all in on a QB in the draft. At some point we need to stop betting the minimum and make a move.
 
The only way this happens is if Luck has already told the Colts to **** off and they don't want to be left without a QB.
 
No chance of happening but hypothetically if it were to happen, Redskins' fans should be on suicide watch rather than celebrating because Luck will definitely pull an Eli. He's not going to play in a division where 3 teams are far ahead better than they are in every phase of the game. Redskins, once a proud franchise, is a joke. And who ever their GM is, is probably the only GM worse than Ireland.

Redskins' fans should already be on suicide watch. They gave up a Herschel-like bounty to get a quarterback that is hardly a can't-miss prospect. He's compared to Cam Newton, but I hardly see the comparison. Newton dominated the super-talented, defense-heavy SEC. (and no one knows if his rookie success will translate into even a mediocre career, Michael Vick excited people for a few years, only to reveal later that he had gross limitations.) RG3 inflated his numbers in a terrible B12. Every scout evaluation I've read about RG3, every evaluation that is based on game film, doesn't paint him in glowing embers. It's more or less the biography of a superior athlete running bubble screens constantly. Baylor's offense didn't even have a receiver tree, in other words, he has limited experience with doing progressions and reading defenses.

Redskin fans should be scared ****less, when instead they've been lulled to sleep by RG3's great demeanor, high character and off-the-charts athleticism (which leads one to another concerns about RG3, he goes down very easily, whereas Luck is almost Roethlisberger-like with dudes hanging on him and still completing passes.) No way the Colts take RG3. No way.
 
I still think the Redskins paid too high of a price for that pick. While I too want a franchise quarterback, that many first round picks is not worth it. But that is just me.
