The Washington Redskins traded three first round picks and a 2012 second round pick to the St. Louis Rams to move up to the No. 2 pick, so it's no surprise that the team views Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin as being franchise quarterbacks.
"We think we got a franchise quarterback with one of the [top] two picks, and that gives you a chance to reach your goal," Shanahan said during Wednesday's league meetings according to Mike Jones of The Washington Post. "They don’t fall off trees."
Luck is expected to go No. 1 to the Indianapolis Colts, leaving Griffin for the Redskins with the No. 2 pick. That would be just fine to Shanahan.
"This guy is bright. This guy is passionate. He’s got everything you look for," Shanahan said of Griffin.
"When you take a guy (like Luck), who's 6-4, that's 240 (pounds) and can run a 4.6 forty, that guy can move pretty good. And obviously with Robert, running a 4.4 or under, usually guys that are that fast can't throw. And he can do both."
