Last Updated: April 26, 2012 Mock Draft: Picks 1-16 - Picks 17-32 - Round 2 - Round 3 - Rounds 4-7
2. Washington Redskins (from St. Louis)
Baylor University
There hasn't been a single player who has made greater strides this year than RG3. There was never any question that Griffin would be the second player drafted, and the Redskins made an aggressive trade offer for the right to draft his services. No price is too high for a franchise quarterback, however, and Washington's quarterback play last season was atrocious, whether it be Rex Grossman or John Beck under center. The fact that Mike Shanahan thought he could win anything with either of them is nothing short of laughable. Griffin will have to get comfortable under center, as he works mostly from the shotgun, but is a smart kid and hard worker, so this shouldn't be a long-term issue. Griffin has a high ceiling and Shanahan is known to take a player based on perceived potential.
