I've only watched Cousins twice (both against Wisconsin).
Been meaning to get around to watching more of his games but I got nothing against the kid.
I thought he threw the ball well at the combine and answered, at least for me, some concerns about his arm strength.

Specifically, I thought that Foles had a much bigger arm then Cousins and wondered whether Cousins dirve the ball on some of the tougher NFL throws.
I don't think his skill warrants being placed in the same athletic/playmaking category as Tannehill (or Russell Wilson for that matter) but he has a good skill set none the less.

I like to use Andy Dalton as a measuring stick for physical skill set.
Other then coming from more of a pro-style offense Cousins isn't very dissimilar to Dalton.
But then again I didn't think that Dalton's skillset separated him that much form Ricky Stanzi.

When I think of Cousins the spectre of Russell Wilson, whom I think is a better prospect then Cousins, looms large.
If Russell Wilson could be available in the mid to late rounds it makes it hard for me to view Cousins as more then a 3rd round and down type of prospect.
