How much to trade up for RGIII?

[lil tom digby]

The scariest part of this draft for me is that RG3 falls to us at 8 or 9. RG3 has talent, but he's also the most hyped player in this draft. Mike Holgrem may pass, that leaves Washington and Shanahan, he may prefer Tannehill. This doesn't even factor in Flynn and Manning. I don't want RG3 at 8 or 9, so I'm sure not gonna give up any picks to get him.

2 first round picks and a 3rd (Marino) probably more. Whatever the price , pay it Dolphins. Draft RG3.

it set us back because Ricky quit on us. It was actually a great deal until that happened.

It was either quit or die from over use

it set us back because Ricky quit on us. It was actually a great deal until that happened.

And it will set us back when he quits on us because he's tired of football and wants to pursue other interests also.

I would trade a 1st round pick to KEEP rgiii OUT OF MIAMI.

That's how convinced I am that he will NEVER rise above Chad Henne's level... or lower.

He is NOT the next Tom Brady, he is much closer to being the next ryan leaf or pat white.

Hitching this franchise's future to this unproven flavor-of-the-month would be STUPID in the extreme.

You are truly clueless if you think RG3 is anything like Pat White or Ryan Leaf.

swap first rounders, give up our 3rd which really is like a 2nd and sign and trade Soliai

This.

 

[WSE]

I would give up whatever is needed to get it done.

 

[Abhenne7]

I belive anyone who considers RG3 a franchise qb is truly clueless , getting peyton should be our priority. Not give up the farm for the next bust

 

[footsteps_falco]

3 first rounders 2 second rounders for andrew luck.

edit: okay 4 first rounders

Only time will tell.

He could end up being the next Steve Young, or indeed a very intelligent Pat White.

I think he's gonna fall somewhere in between, and if the QB class was so watered down, would be considering him as a top 10 pick much less a top 5 pick....but as I said, only time will tell.

I do think he is flavor of the month, but I also think he will end up being a successful NFL QB....actually, Randall Cunningham is EXACTLY who he reminds me of.

Would any of you trade this and next years draft for Randall Cunningham?

I honestly dont see the browns taking him... Idk why they would. If blackmon is there i can see the browns taking him.

I get the feeling like the browns will not trade up. I do feel they will stay right where they are and draft him. Therefore, the debate should be what will the vikings want?

Then there is Flynn and Manning. Do these guys go to teams who are in the hunt with us? How many teams will be ponying up? all this plays into it in the end, and often times, right up until draft time.

To me, if we give up next years number one with any 2nd rounder, to me, that is not steep. that is not steep at all. I do think more picks would have to be given up in mid rounds in future years. A franchise qb is a franchise qb.

Whatever someones opinon on RG3 and his talent, you cannot deny he is high character and smart. There is no debate there. He is a winner so if you study him hard, which Ireland clearly has, and likes him, its worth it at that point. RG3 is not a risk like a Leaf. There is only the debate on what kind of qb he is.

To me, that is everything. And Philbin likes high character as does Ireland. We are talking about a franchise QB, not an OL or a DE or WR. Its what puts people in the seats for many many years.

Of course, you can forget it all if Manning comes.

True true Irony in this post....soooo much irony!


Remind me, how many firsts did the Patriots give up to get Brady again?

Are you saying RGIII is going to be as good as Brady?

What makes you think he will not? I mean, is anyone brady? Brady's resume is so big that no one can be compared to that. I mean, they dont even talk about joe montana anymore. this is a different era.
