Tough to give up picks But it's exciting nonetheless. #Skins fans should be happy to get a diff maker. Will make FA that much more fun

#Redskins making the move for the no. 2 spot in the draft...I wonder who they're gonna take. Any thoughts?

And some media...
After 20 years of inconsistent QB play and an even longer time searching for franchise QB, needed to make bold move. they did.#redskins

It's a steep price, but it's the price of hope. This makes the Redskins relevant again. The QB is everything nowadays.

Are three No. 1's & a No. 2 a ton to give up? Yes. And trading them for a potential franchise-changing presence at QB was the right move.

I'm really excited for the team. We have not had this kind of QB prospect in Washington ever. His athleticism is unique. RG3!!!...He's comparable to no one in franchise history outside of Sammy Baugh. Don't know he'll ever be the passer Sonny was, but what ability! @BramESPN - Bram Weinstein
Love RG3 but now you have ZERO future picks to put talent around him Jackwagons !

More I think about the trade, more I think it's excellent for the Rams and something I definitely would have done if I were Allen/Shanahan.

I value draft picks as much as anyone, but I'd have made that trade. Guys with this talent at that position are rare commodities.

Newsflash: RGIII will NOT be the last "franchise" QB in the draft. Urgency only by coach who is failing and owner who can't sell seats.
— Steve Czaban (@czabe) March 10, 2012
Added benefit of getting this deal done now is that RG3 may be an attractive sell for prospective free agents.

LMFAOOOOOO the Redskins gave up that ricky williams shit. LOL a whole draft for RG3 LOL I'm dying LOL I'm gonna wear a skins hat tonight!

As I said above, there is no question the Redskins paid a steep price to get this deal done. However, you can't win in today's NFL without production from the QB position on a consistent basis. In this case, Snyder made a move to ensure they can draft a player to build around and win with in the future. - Former Redskin Matt Bowen
