Plus if the Raiders do somehow make the AFC championship the pick wont be better than the 28th selection. The Redskins picks are likely to be much higher selections.
Is RG3 really that much better than other options that they can sacrifice 3 or more likely starters (on rookie contracts and under club control for years) in the coming years? Doubtful.

Pure insanity...plain and simple. How else do you explain it? If there is some sort of "method to the madness", it's lost on me. This kid has maybe a 25% chance of being serviceable, and about 0% chance of being some sort of Tom Brady/Farve/Fill in the blank. And you've dug a hole for at least 5-6 years because when he busts or God forbid suffers a career threatening injury (Sorry, but these things HAVE TO be discussed when making a decision like this), you've got no 1st rd. picks to rebuild for 4 years.
Ole' Danny Boy.... just when you think he can't possibly screw up a team any further, he continues to shock and awe.
