Like I said, the Colts tanked the season. It was the right thing to do for the long term winning of the franchise. They are getting the opportunity to draft a franchise qb. The Colts get their qb. This is just an example of how it can work out sometimes. The redskins in my opinion payed too much for the opportunity to draft a franchise qb. .
No they didn't. The Rams nearly had the number one pick at the end of the season because the Colts won 2 of their last 3 games. Colts only got the pick because of SOS.
Thank you once again for making my case. Even if the Colts got the #2 pick they still would have been in line to draft one of the two tier one qb's. Without having to mortgage their future like the Redskins. If you watch NFL network they spoke of the qb sweepstakes for the teams with the losing records this year.
The Redskins didn't mortgage their future as much as you think, they have a top 10 defense now and even though they grossly overpaid for Garcon and to a degree Morgan they now have a great group of WRs to grow around Griffin with Garcon, Morgan, Hankerson, and Santana Moss, and a top 5-10 PR/KR in Brandon Banks. With depth like Aldrick Robinson, Niles Paul, Jabar Gaffney, Anthony Armstrong. A solid if not top 15 RB backfield and a TE tandem that is top 5. They were literally missing nothing else but a QB, if they can protect Griffin with some quality OL picks they will be challenging the Giants in the NFC East.
