In short it was a Rex Grossman joke that NO ONE SEEMED TO GET! Thats right Warpath I'm talking to all of you. Not even appreciated for my comedic genius.

Ahhh, ok. I guess it was a bad joke.lol

Like you I do like the pick. No one on this board could honestly say they are comfortable with Rex Grossman as the backup for more than half a season. I love having a competent young intelligent QB to groom along with RGIII either in case we need him due to injury or for trade bait in the future...The former to me is more likely and the reason they drafted him.

Good draft so far in my eyes.

I like the pick... good insurance in case RG3 gets hurt

they probably saw cousins as a good value at this position, someone whom they could develop into a quality backup, and someone who fits the system. i understand the pick, just never was his biggest fan in college. i don't think its a terrible pick. you need 2 QBs that can play.

well there goes joe adams!!!!!! Goddamnit!!! We chose a backup backup QB over a starting RS slot guy.

Disappointed.......there are going to be suitable backups on the street soon enough......would have liked to have seen O-line or ILB.

3 years down the road, we might get a willing buyer for Cousins for more than one sleeper pick in the 4th round.

I like the value of the pick in the 4th round, this kid could have went in the 3rd round.

He should have went in the 2nd. Very very very solid prospect. However this is the perfect situation for him.

Wtf? I like grossman as a back up.

I cant understand how SF is getting such great value for trading back.

Harbaugh is doing trade talks via skype, intimidating opposing GMs.

I like the pick in a vacuum, but I would have preferred secondary or OL depth.

As a Big 10 season ticket holder, I like Cousins a lot. Tougher than dirt, great, great attitude and talented enough.

Waaaaaaay better than Ricky Stanzi, who I think a lot of people here liked last year.

I haven't been following the draft too much. I can't belive there are no other high-quality players availalbe now. I know we need a solid back-up, but there are other positions that should have been addressed with this pick. It will be real intersting to see what the next pick is.
