Reports are coming in that the St. Louis Rams have agreed to trade their #2 overall pick to the Washington Redskins for their #6 overall pick this year, their 2nd round pick this year, their 1st round pick in 2013, and their 1st round pick in 2014.

Reports have come in from around the league, including ESPN and NFL.com.

It is widely believed that the Indianapolis Colts will pick a QB with their #1 overall pick, and the Redskins will then pick whichever QB the Colts do not choose.  Most analysts, and those within the Colts organization, have the team selecting Andrew Luck of Stanford with their first pick, making the consolation prize Robert Griffin III from Baylor.  While Luck will go as the first pick, this trade ensures that Griffin will be the most expensive first round pick in a very, very long time.
