FOX Sports' Jay Glazer reports that St. Louis and Washington will exchange first-round picks this year. The Rams will get two more future first-rounders, likely in 2013 and 2014. The Redskins are now positioned to draft Baylor QB Robert Griffin, or Stanford QB Andrew Luck if the Colts pull a fast one at No. 1. More to come.

Yeah, it sounds bad, but they've acquired quite a lot of draft picks, so it isn't quite as bad as it sounds. And also they gave up 3 1st rounders and a 2nd round picks, but they received the Rams' 1st rounder, so it isn't like they gave up 3 1st round picks, more like 2.

They're desperate for a QB who can be the face of the franchise, and they see RG3 as that guy, so they decided to do what was needed to get him - can't blame that mindset regardless of what happens in the future.

I mean, if you remember last year's draft... They were looking for a QB, but none of the guys that were available for them were what they were looking for. So, rather than settling for someone, they traded down a couple of times and received picks in compensation. This year was a reversal of that strategy.

Yep, I think they acquired an obscene 12 extra draft picks over the next couple years via trade downs and the Jason Campbell trade.

They also have 40 million in cap room.

They can get real good real fast.

They might go after Jackson or Colston to give RG3 some WR weapons.

I wonder if Shanahan will require RG3 to wear a wedding dress ... just like Ricky did?

I heard Manning will be visiting New Orleans next week.

I quickly counted that they have around 20 players entering free agency from their last season's roster, so they have a lot of guys to sign to fill up their roster.

Yeah, but $40M isn't that much when you consider you have to sign 20 guys with it, which means that they couldn't afford all those star FAs we were discussing.
