The question in these Redskin leagues is "Who's taking him in Round 1?"

Nice. If I get lucky, I will wait, but I have RGIII ranked ahead of Romo. Romo gets too much sand in his #^*@%$.

OK. Funny. Not what I expected.

OK, I need some advice from people who would love to have RGIII on their team, but you don't want to pay too much for him in a fantasy league with non-Skins fans.

Of course, they all know I love the Skins. I will be wearing my RGIII socks, but I will keep them covered until AFTER I take him ...

1) I think it would have to be a sign & trade.
2) I doubt if we can afford it.

I agree. It would be too costly. In a dream world, I would love to get him on the roster.

Personally, I don't think he's worth that at all... He's fast ya, most his highlights are wide open catches, where someone on ...

Yikes Morgan. I would feel better about RGIII if he had more weapons, but I still think he will find a away to get it done. I think the defense will be the weak link to determine how far the Redskins make it this season.

Ditto here. Some corner backs should be seen and not heard.

I couldn't be higher on LGIII.

This can't be good.

I am starting to like the prospects of Helu later in the season. If he can just stay healthy, I think he will be a great weapon for the team.

and save some of that rock for Helu at #3.

That's quite a backfield speed and power!

Good call on Helu!

Good stuff. It seems like Hightower might be getting the edge right now, but that will be opened back up if Hightower has any fumbling issues.

I saw Hightower as RB28 and Torain as RB35

And here a little lower at RB33 and RB42 respectively. http://fantasynews.cbssports.com/fantas ... l/rankings

What is the current temp on the RB situation for us? I see it going this way:

Torain will start the season and get about 15 carries per game. At some point, (maybe 5 weeks into the season) Torain gets hurt. Then Hightower takes over and doesn't look back. The rookies still get touches, but ...

If Beck misses too much time, I don't see how Grossman WON'T be the starting QB. Looks like it is Sexy Rexy in 2011. (and we all know who in 2012)

I hear you guy on the "I know John Elway, and Sir, you are no John Elway." skit for McNabb. Fair enough, but you can always throw out there how many Super Bowls did Elway win before Shanahan showed up? (I know not a real argument.)

I just like the fact that McNabb has had success in the past and ...

I think so, but he will really have to click with McNabb for it to happen. I think it is very possible.

How could anyone not want to have ey on their team. He is just a great guy (entertaining).

I am so excited about Mike Shanahan and Donovan McNabb I can hardly sit next to myself. Shanahan has been very solid with his quarterbacks as everyone here knows. How good? Since 1995, Shanahan's quarterbacks have produced 14% above the league average. The average statistical finish of Shanahan's ...

Amen to the PATs over Field Goals!

I think we have a good chance to win the East, but it isn't the best chance. To be truthful, the Cowboys have to be the favorites. However, they have ways of f-ing things up. If we can manage to NOT f- things up, we can take this division. At the least, we should be able to make the playoffs. I ...

I whince whenever Portis opens his mouth, but I have been optimistic lately. I am actually hopeful for our upcoming season for the first time in a while. I think the iron hand of Shanny is going to help us succeed.

Good point. Lavar hasn't done anything in 2 yrs.

He hasn't done anything noteworthy in longer than that. < Purposefully to piss off the Lavar man lovers.

Good post. I think Lavar is a little too old to deserve all the "man love" he is getting for joining the Giants.

Brunell was so great for us last year and I have to admit he blew away my expectations. I think he can just as effective this season, but I am nervous about his age and health. (Thank goodness we have Campbell - I hope the brass knew what they were doing when they drafted him). Anyway, I have a ...

I love offensive line rankings. However, I have to say that I have our O-Line ranked a little lower than #6. I do think #6 is possible with Saunders, but we will have to wait and see.

This is great. Remember Gibbs first year back. Everyone said the game had past him by. What a joke!

I never bought into that crud. Gibbs may be 110 years old, but he is pretty spry for a 110 year old fella. You have to love a coach who will say what he wants and back that up with a solid ...

I think Portis will be great for us this year, but I have a feeling that it will be Betts that saves our rumps before the season is over. (I am a bit of a pessimist though.)

I read this quote as well. I am pretty pumped about the Skins this season. I worry about Brunell's health, but with our O and D, I think missing the playoffs will be hard to do. I smell a great season and a big time playoff run.
