Reportedly spurned by Peyton Manning, the Washington Redskins didn't waste any time finding their quarterback of the future. Jay Glazer of Fox Sports reported late Friday night that the Redskins traded the No. 6 pick in this year's draft, two future first rounders and additional picks for the Rams' No. 2 selection in next month's draft. It is presumed they'll use the pick to select Robert Griffin III, the explosive Heisman trophy winner from Baylor. It's a huge haul for the draft's second-most coveted player. Griffin threw for 37 touchdown passes and over 4,200 yards during his junior season with the Bears. He shot up on draft boards with scintillating early-season performances and solidified his standing with a memorable showing at last month's combine that included a 4.41 in the 40-yard dash. For the perennial offseason champs, it's another mid-March splash. For the third straight year, Mike Shanahan will enter a season with his hand-picked quarterback. He'll hope RGIII is the charm. If it's not, he won't be around to care about those two future picks the team gave up.
