commentary...

my opinion on Redskins/Rams trade for number two pick,in 2012 NFL Draft is that if the Rams are smart with three first draft picks(over the next three years),and a second round pick this season,they have the better end of this trade... Washington Redskins better make the playoffs,at least once,in the next three seasons,with Robert Griffith III...
let us go back in history:on March 23,1959,the Los Angeles Rams traded nine players,to the Chicago Cardinals,for Ollie Matson... unfortunately,for both teams,Matson,who had his best year,in 1957,and six productive years,in Chicago,was a big dud,in Los Angeles... as for the nine players traded,for Matson,the Cardinals got some usuable players,but nothing to talk about...
on October 12,1989,Dallas Cowboys traded Herschel Walker,and four draft picks,to Minnesota Vikings,for fourteen players,and draft picks... Walker played some good years,in Minnesota,and only one of the draft picks,for the Vikings(Jake Reed)really panned out,for the Vikings... as for the Cowboys,they used the players,and draft picks,to stock a 1-15 team,in 1989,and won three Super Bowls,with them...
on April 17,1999,New Orleans traded their entire 1999 draft,to the Redskins,for Heisman Trophy winner,running back Ricky Williams,with the sixth overall pick,that day... Saints' head coach,Mike Ditka,left Saints' headquarters,that day,with a cigar,in his mouth saying that,"my day is done"... well,Ditka was done within three years,in New Orleans,as coach,and the Saints only recovered,after Hurricane Katrina,and Williams retired,and then came back after a basic world tour(ha,ha),and had his best year,in Miami,last season... as for the Redskins,the Redskins are the Redskins,under Daniel Snyder,and did very little in stocking their team,after the trade...
