Cousins wasn't a bad QB in college. He's not RG3, Andrew Luck, Matt Barkley or Landry Jones, but he was fairly consistent. When most people view Cousins as a quarterback, they see him as a developmental prospect. In his senior year at Michigan State, he throw completed 267 of of 419 for 331 with a completion percentage of 63.7 with 25 TDs 10 INTs ending with a 145.1 QB rating.

His numbers in college actually wasn't bad at all. He's exactly what Colt McCoy was in his final year at Texas. But Cousins would be anywhere from a 3rd to a 5th round selection.

He has a good arm, good mobility, and is a great leader. Went 22-5 the last 2 seasons, he wins! I like him a lot if we could get him with our 2nd round pick. I love RGIII but I don't want to trade the farm for him, when we have plenty of other players in this draft that can help us at O-line, CB, Safety, ILB, WR., etc.

*If Shanny/Allen do decide to trade for RGIII, I will be on board with it, and all in. Just wouldnt be my 1st choice. If Cleveland doesn't draft him I will chug a record amount of beers.

The thing I like most about Cousins is that he plays his best in crunch time. He led a beautiful drive with time expiring in their bowl game and that wasn't the only time he did that as a Senior.

He has good size, a good arm, and he's athletic enough to play in the NFL. I think he would be a very good pick in the 3rd round.

Me neither. He seems like a career backup to me.

he got my attention in their bowl game, but just as soon as I was thinking that he looked pretty good, he threw an unexplicable pick in double coverage.

Overall, he seems like the kind of guy that Shanny would pick, believing that he can mold him into a solid qb. He has all the attributes on paper, might be good in a few years if he could hold a clipboard for a while. I'd be happy if we got him in the 4th or 5th after getting our franchise qb in the 1st. Either way, we really need 2 qbs in this draft.
