I could see Washington picking Mariota at 5. But do you really think they would dump Griffin? I think it would be smart of them to grab a QB to back up RG3 since he has a lengthy injury history
Then we could sign him for a reserve/comeback attempt so the trade would literally be "skins have up picks for nothing"
Don't see that happening BUT that would be the ULTIMATE insult!!!

Which team would be interested in trading the priceless ultra high valued draft picks for RG3?
Would it be a long list or a very very short list?
What other NFL team would RG3 be the best fit playing for?

I think its safe to say that Washington would be wise to sure interest in Mariota, may cause a team behind them to move up. They sure could use the extra picks.
I never doubted that the Rams "won" that trade, but who knows what "coulda" been had he not blown his knee. Washington was the darlin' of the league with RGIII leading them in to the playoffs.

I'd dump him.
I am a big believer in 'buy in' from players and RGIII doesn't seem to buy into what coaches are trying to do.

I'm not sure Mariota is a fit in the WCO either. I see Mariota as RGIII 2.0.

Thats how I see it ,the biggest factor in coaching is getting the players to let you coach them. RG has resisted coaching enough to make me believe he always will.

Well, Jimmy Johnson and the Vikings would have something to say about that....

I still think the Herschel Walker trade gets top honors for biggest fleece, but RGIII is right up there. One of those picks was Emmitt Smith. who history will tell you beats the h3ll out of Walker. With so many picks, you don't have to choose between Jimmy Smith and Darren Woodson, you just take them both. Critical to the question of "biggest fleece", the Cowboys won 3 three Super Bowls within a few years (5? 6?) after the Walker trade. That's not to say that the Walker trade was the ONLY reason the Cowboys went on to have such a historic run, but it certainly was a major contributor.
Now if only the Rams could do the same with their bounty...
Gonna have to say the Walker trade was by far the bigger fleece. The Rams haven't used the picks they acquired nearly as well as Dallas did.

Hey, Im not complaining.
Now, this year lets find a Larry Allen and a Mark Stephnoski and we'll be good.
Greg Robinson?
Don't forget, it took Larry Allen a year to start hitting his stride. But once he got over the mental part of the game, those physical attributes took over and the rest was a HoF history.
Not to heap too much pressure onto GR79, but you have to admit the comparison has merit.
That and I don't think anyone but DJax really even likes him on that team.
Maybe, but I'll bet Mariota has a better head on his shoulders and much more of a willingness to adapt to w/e system utilizes his talents the best without creating sideshows ala RG-Me.
Having a franchise QB who could stay healthy already in place before the trade was ever made was certainly a huge help (as was having Michael Irvin). With all those extra draft picks they were able to put in the additional pieces necessary around their QB, who managed to stay on the field.
