Predict Who Will Be The Next Redskins QB (Not Necessarily the QB You Want)

I'm on board with your first and last statements. Because of Weeden's age, you don't draft him that high. The dilemma here is that due to the shortage of quality QB prospects in this year's draft it would not be surprising if Weeden crept up into the first round. What helps the Skins though is that because teams selecting later in round one, looking to promote competition with their QB situation, won't see much value drafting a 28 year old to perhaps hold the clipboard. With the Skins, he's perfect to be brought in with the expectations of winning the starting position over Grossman and another rookie. Tell me of another team with a fitting situation?

The "worst" case scenario is that Luck, RG3, Khalil, Claiborne, and Blackmon are gone before the sixth pick and because I don't think Shanahan values taking a RB (Richardson) that high, this could open up a situation for a trade or maybe the Skins look to draft say, Coples or whoever else is atop their board. The possibilities are endless but, I think the Skins will have some great options there and still be able to draft Weeden in 2nd round. That of course depends on if they covet him. Right now, I do.
