The 2nd dumbest trade in football

I'm assuming this is going to be official by 4pm, anyways, you get to read my little rant on it. This is second to Mike Ditka trading his entire 1999 draft class and 1st and 3rd round pick in 2000 for Ricky Williams. I can understand swapping a first rounder and second rounder to move up the first round, but then you trade your first round pick in 2013 and 2014 as well. To move up four spots? The New York Giants didn't sacrifice this much for Eli Manning. Mike Shanahan has pretty much put all his chips in and if he gets fired before the 2014 season, he's screwed the Redskins. They have no opportunity to improve their offensive line or add pieces on defense with game changing players outside of RGIII for the next three years unless they sign up via free agency. 2015 is the next time the Redskins will have a first round pick that is their own. Not only that, they've given the Rams the best opportunity to fix their offensive line problems. They could've gotten Ryan Tannehill with the sixth pick, probably used the second rounder on an offensive lineman, and then 2013 and 2014 first round picks to fill in gaps on offense and or defense, not only that, do you think Peyton Manning will join the Redskins when they've blown 3 first rounders for Robert Griffin the third? This is only going to blow up in Shanahan's face, there's no way the Redskins will win a Super Bowl title for at least 10 years. Shanahan will be fired before the RBIII will actually be good. If by some miracle, RGIII manages to turn the Redskins around next season, I'll be damned.
