Rams deal #2 pick to Skins

[chucknbob]

The Washington Redskins acquired the No. 2 overall pick in April's NFL Draft on Friday from the St. Louis Rams by sending first rounders in 2012, '13 and '14 and a second-round pick this year to the Rams, league sources told Fox Sports insider and NFL Network contributor Jay Glazer on Friday.Four teams were deep in talks with the Rams for the pick, league sources told NFL Network insider Jason La Canfora.Of the four teams in negotiations with the Rams, the Cleveland Browns were the next closest in terms of what they were willing to offer, sources told La Canfora.Washington submitted what turned out to be the winning bid Thursday, when it became clear that free-agent quarterback Peyton Manning was looking elsewhere, league sources told La Canfora.La Canfora reported in late February that the Rams had every intention of trading the pick, with Heisman Trophy-winning Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin III the presumed target for teams looking to trade into the spot.The trade moves the Redskins up four places from sixth in the draft, leapfrogging any other team that would have an interest in Griffin. The Indianapolis Colts are expected to take Andrew Luck with the No. 1 pick.

Here it is from the NFL network. I felt like we needed news about something besides bountygate. Personally, I love this trade. I know that Blackmon will be gone by 6 (I expect the browns to take him at 4) but there are plenty of quality players still on the board and we need these extra picks to to build this franchise. Time will tell what happens, but I trust Fisher and friends will fill some big holes on both sides of the ball with these picks.

Sorry it all pushed together guys, I posted from my phone. Was too excited to run to my computer

Can you spell "b-l-o-c-k-b-u-s-t-e-r" kids? I knew you could.

And after Blackmon's pro day drops I'm not sold on him.

Very nice return for that pick.

With two No.1's for the next two years, we have a real chance to lift ourselves off the doormat.

My two favorite NFL teams:

1. St. Louis Rams
2. Any team playing the Redskins in the 2012 or 2013 seasons.
