Apr 26, 2012 - It appears likely that on Thursday night, the Washington Redskins will use their second overall pick to select Robert Griffin III. I use the word "likely" because of the following, which was tweeted by the official Redskins account Wednesday:

Mike Shanahan calls it 99.9 percent that Robert Griffin III is Redskins' pick at No. 2. "Nothing is 100 percent," he said.

Today, we journey into the realm of the remaining 0.1 percent. It is a nightmarish, horrifying realm. It is a realm in which the second overall pick, for which the Redskins paid a fortune in future draft picks, is spent on .... Vontaze Burfict.

The 2012 NFL Draft is only minutes away. There is a lively air of anticipation in the music hall as the late arrivals find their seats. Serious debates, laughter, microphone checks, and clinks of champagne glasses all bounce off the staggered walls of the grand auditorium.
