Get the deal done. I think the Skins packaged deal should go something like this:

2012 (1st RD, 6 overall), 3RD RD, 4TH RD, and Evan Royster (good backup to SJAX)
2013 3RD RD

I like the confrontational tone and you make valid points I however would like to make an arguement with your thoughts above (marked my points with the same naming convention as yours)….

A) You’re probably right we might have to give up more to move up…but sometimes you have to give up something to get something in return. If it was free to move up everybody would be doing it.
2) Royster was only a 6th RD pick for us and Shanny can turn any back into a quality back in our system and we have Helu who is the more complete and explosive back. Plus Shanny can always trade down other picks remaining to get some picks back similar to what he did last year. I believe we traded back 4 times last year.
D) RG3 has a unique skill set and believe he’ll put a lot of pressure on the defense with the fear he can and will beat with his arm and his legs. A dimension the Skins have never had. With that skill set our QB is no longer a sitting duck in the pocket which should make a line better. Royster is replaceable and the reason I included him was he fits the Rams/Fischer playing style.

If we don’t address the QB position we’re going to continue this talk year after year how are we going to get a QB for the future. We’re within a ear shot of landing a stud QB prospect but would you rather roll the dice on journeymen QB’s or second RD quarterbacks who will all take time to develop or have holes in there game?

So what do we do wait til we pick at 15 and trade up toget a decent QB and then give a crap load of picks away to get our QB . Iagree with Deuce2one on this one , we are this close to being a great team and RG3 will be our franchise QB for a long time and yes he is that dam good . He is worth his weight in gold , id rather give up a few extra drafts now than give a boat load later . Also 2nd round picks in QB fail more times than they are good . In the last 20 years we have had over 23 QBs lets get our QB now and stop this QB merry go round for once , see this is why our team SUCKS its because every time we turn aroundwe have a different QB playing . So why not stop this QB merry go round and pick a guy and stick with him . When you draft a defensive guy you select the best guy you can right ? SO WHY NOT select a good QB in the same mind set huh ?n my opinion RG3 is way better than ANDREW LUCK BY FAR and if you think im wrong look at the stats and compare . See also luck had a better team than RG3 did and his stats are way better so go figure that one out.

I admit I am nowhere near as informed or as knowledgeable as ya’ll, so I will just ask a few questions. If we make a deal to trade up to get a guy “like” RGIII, admiting we lose a decent player or two out of our ever increasing corral of young talent or draft positions, is it possible that a man with the skills RGIII has, can raise the level of play of all those around him? If there is discontent or a lazy player-on the offense at least, is it possible that he makes such an impact that it becomes contagious and the whole offense jumps on board and takes pride in being on the field, believing in their hearts they may finally climb up to at least a winning season in 2012? Is there another quarterback on a similar team who you think has done that in recent years? My memory just isn’t good enough to recall these days. I know last year over and over we all witnessed receivers getting open deep only to have the ball woefully underthrown. That has to wear on players minds. Thanks Fellow Fans!
