griffen cost four picks, spin it how you want, but the cost was four picks, maybe we gave up three (based on that definition) but we spent four on him. My simple question is, if it's working and if we're improving, how did we end up with the 6th pick over all? You would expect that as a team gets deeper and the roster more talented, the win totals would slowly creep up, but they've gone in the opposite direction. Compare the team to the nats building, but when the nats good draft picks hit the major league roster, the team immediately started to win more games, so unless the skins are stashing their picks in some minor league, I don't see how the comparison is apt.
When you switch to an entirely different offense and defensive scheme, do you really expect instant success? Our defense was laughable year one under Shanny. Year two? Much better. Now what about this year? The safety spot is questionable, for sure, but otherwise, they look even better than last year. The offensive line was solid last year until Lichtenstiger went down. Add a few more injuries, and it got real bad. Not to mention that even with protection, Grossman is worrisome. They thought they had something in Grossman and/or Beck, but found out they didn't. They added Kerrigan while adding a pile of picks. This year, they traded picks to get their man, RGIII. Go big or go home right? The offense should be a good bit better, but there will be struggles with a rookie under center. Anyone expecting a repeat of Newton will be sorely disappointed, but an improvement over last year should be possible. There's no question they gave Griffin weapons.
