Yes. on just about every level possible.
 
I'll tell you exactly how bad that RG3 trade set us back. Now obviously we can't expect our front office (especially the one in place at the time) to hit on EVERY pick but here are players that were available when we WOULD have been on the clock

2012 First Round (6th overall):

Luke Kuechly
Fletcher Cox
Michael Brockers
Melvin Ingram
Chandler Jones

2012 Second Round (36th overall):

Alshon Jeffery
Mychal Kendricks
Bobby Wagner
Lavonte David


2013 First Round (22nd Overall):

Xavier Rhodes
Deandre Hopkins
Cordarrelle Patterson
Alex Ogletree
Zach Ertz

2014 First Round (2nd overall)

Khalil Mack
Mike Evans
Taylor Lewan
Aaron Donald
Zack Martin
C.J. Mosley
Brandin Cooks


This team could have had Kirk Cousins at QB (as much as I don't think he'll ever win a SB he's still better than anything we've had since 2012) and on defense

Luke Kuechly
Bobby Wagner
Aaron Donald

and Deandre Hopkins at WR.....

And that's just in the draft...

Selling the farm is worth it, if the return is worth it. You better damn well be right. Especially when you see what minor moves other teams make within the draft and come away with their guy. Mahomes, Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson.... all traded for on draft day. Matt Stafford... traded for. NONE of them sold the farm, all of them have been in the conversation for MVP, 3 played on championship weekend, and 1 is going to play for a ring in a week. If he's your guy, get him... it's the most important position in sports, but if he's not the next Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, or Aaron Rodgers, make sure you keep in mind the fact that he cant do it alone, and even those guys have had some serious talent around them.
It would have been interesting to see what Shanahan wanted if RGIII wasn't forced on him. He could pick out offensive players easy but defensive players always were a struggle to find for him. Plus he wanted to run a 3-4, and hired a poor 3-4 coordinator in Haslett.

Morris Claiborne was the actual 6th pick and Shanahan could have very well went receiver and taken Michael Floyd.

St. Louis took mostly busts with the picks they got. Greg Robinson was our gift to them and he's no longer in the league. Donald apparently wasn't that hot since he fell down to 13 and taken with St. Louis' own pick that year. Allen wasn't a sharp talent picker either.
 
Why was Payne being a punk in Dallas? Would he answer that?
 
I’ve gotta admit that I don’t love anything here except the matte burgundy helmets.

The black uniform is pretty awesome in my opinion, and I've heard that from quite a few fans. The white jersey is a disaster that needs to be completely re-thought. The burgundy one is just okay in my book.
 
I hate the way the white jersey looks there LESS than originally.
 
The white mesh and black stripe is a fatal flaw. It's bad.
 
Could we wear the black if ever playing Pittsburgh at home and confuse everyone?
 
The white jersey is fine on its own, it’s just not right for a team whose colors are burgundy and gold. I think it’ll evolve.

It has to.
 
I would hope so. Not like they’ve gotten rave reviews on that one.

Saw the Weather Tech commercial during the Superbowl and figured out where Dan and Jason got the idea for the black uniforms...

I like the black uni as an alternate. It’s a good looking uniform… it’s just not Washington really.
I prefer the burgundy shirt with the white pants, as seen here…

The white though…

I thought our all whites uniform previously was one of the crispest looking uniforms in the league. This isn’t even close. They’ve ruined the details. I hate that the font doesn’t match the other two. I’d have been happier with a colour flipped version of the burgundy
 
Just pick a font. What team has different fonts on diffrent jerseys? I've never noticed that before.
