I mean please.

ESPN is the TMZ of the sports world yo!!

Kirk being drafted means Rex's days are truly numbered as being even a #2 QB. I don't see Cousins as trade bait. The guy could have been a first rounder if a couple more teams were in dire straits at QB.

Denver drafted oswaller in the 2nd. Is Peyton being challenged already?

Draft review: Shanahan says he couldn't pass up Cousins

Apparently, there was a Shanaboner in the war room.

Looks like Shanahan is a QB whore like Gruden

Well, he has been with even the "dirtiest" of QBs, like Beck and Grossman, so he knows his way around. :FIREdevil

The entire QB position needed upgrading. With Griffin and Cousins, there's a new starter and a new back up and both are upgrades over what the Redskins had at the position last season. Grossman is still there only because he knows the offense. I have no problem with the Redskins picking Cousins, especially if he was still available when the Redskins picked. In fact, Kirk Cousins was a total steal.

Could be our new Gus.

That's a new level of stupid.

they said forever ago they wanted to get 2 qbs, and they did.... just because the 2nd one came before the 6th round shouldn't cause people to think the sky is falling.

we got good value, cousins > beck, which means the team is better at the QB position (and #2/#3 qb position) than before the draft. I'm fine with it in every way.

Really not sure how I feel about this pick. Any quotes from RG3 about the Cousins pick?

“We were in the same group in the combine, so I got to know him a little bit. He’s a good guy. I look forward to going out and growing with him … He got drafted a little bit later than he would have liked but I’m glad to have him on the team.”

Sweet. Thanks.

Slept on this pick woke up this morning and I like it, we are going to teach both these QB's our system correct there bad habits while there still learning. Who knows maybe we trade him for a player or a pick next year.

As for the Cousins pick, at first I was like many of us, confused and frustrated by the pick but then recognized this draft was more about 2013, 2014 and beyond than 2012. This addresses the most expensive and highest position of turnover in the league so now it's locked up, 2 deep for the next 4 years at what will be an affordable price. Unless he's a complete flop and can't grasp the offense or simply can't play at this level, we've got a future asset or at worst a career backup who will have years of experience running our system. I would have rather seen another 'need' player there but ultimately, I'm fine with the pick.

Would have much rather seen a quality player taken that would have filled a OL or DL position. Possibly a Nose Tackle prospect that maybe a started in a year or 2.
