The Facts:
HC Mike Shanahan strongly implied that the team will take Baylor QB Griffin with the second overall pick in the NFL draft. "Nothing's a 100 percent yet, so I've got to say 99.9 (percent)" Shanahan said about selecting Griffin at a pre-draft news conference Wednesday.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
"If you guys are right, we're taking RG3," Shanahan said, joking with reporters. ... We'll go ahead and remind you that Washington traded their first-round selection this year (sixth overall) and their first-rounders in 2013 and 2014 plus their second-rounder this year (39th overall) to St. Louis for the Rams' first-rounder this year (second overall). They did so to secure a franchise QB. The Colts have announced they are taking Andrew Luck, so it's not hard to figure out the next move. As the Sports Xchange, notes, Shanahan loves Griffin's quickness, speed, arm strength, leadership and smarts. Redskins owner Dan Snyder loves Griffin's smile, personality and surefire ability to sell tickets at a stadium from which more than 12,000 seats have been removed over the last two offseasons.
