How The Washington Redskins Robert Griffin III Trade Has Shaped The Team

On March 12, 2012, then Redskins general manager and current team president Bruce Allen sent a trade to the NFL offices for approval. This trade was the Redskins receiving the St. Louis Rams first round draft pick (second overall) and the Rams receiving the Redskins first round draft pick (sixth overall) and 2nd round draft pick (thirty ninth overall) in 2012, plus the Redskins 1st round picks in 2013 and 2014. The Rams parlayed those four picks into eight picks from which they currently have four quality starters, a defensive lineman, a cornerback, a linebacker and an offensive tackle.
