Nobody will ever accuse Washington Redskins owner Dan Snyder of being afraid to make a bad decision for his team. Over the years, he has overpaid for free agents and had a revolving door of head coaches.
His trade with the St Louis Rams for the number two pick in the draft could be his worst decision yet. The Redskins swapped their 6th overall selection, as well as two future number ones and a number two in order to get to their coveted slot. They hope to grab Robert Griffin III.
Apparently they feel RGIII is the key to their future success, but they are also stripping themselves of valuable draft choices. Snyder has always felt that a team could buy a championship by overspending on free agents. The team has done nothing under his ownership.
I have no doubt that RGIII has great potential. I don't think it's a prudent move to mortgage your future away on one player. They don't come with guarantees for success.
