2012 NFL Draft Day 3

GREAT TE goes to San Diego...they know how to draft.

So instead of taking our new Shiny QB's Center that he's been working so hard to get pub out for to get drafted.... We pick up competition for him??

Wow... definitely no superstar treatment already... Actually I'm kinda thinking that's a pretty harsh turn of events.

He will only be competition if RG3 is a complete bust. Keep in mind this is an investment not only in a QB that can win games for us if RG3 goes down but as a potential Matt Schuab trade down the line.

The main reason for picking up Cousins is asset acquisition in the future. Should he develop well, we could flip him for a 1st round pick or equivalent.

Dammit.....i gotta go to the grocery store......keep putting it off to see these picks.....then we trade down again.

So, what did we get for the trade?

Theres still some great Safeties on the board Iloka, Martin

I kind of thought we would pursue Iloka. Perhaps that was who we wanted/want.

So, what did we get for the trade?

Probably a 7th round pick.

Steelers gave up their sixth-round pick to swap places with the Redskins in the fourth round.

So, what did we get for the trade?

6th rounder

My gut reaction to Cousins was negative, but when I thought about it I realized I loved it for a number of reasons.
The best teams draft purely based off of talent. If we think Cousins was too good value to pass up, I love it. First of all RGIII is injury prone, and a good backup can be invaluable. Second of all, if Cousins is starting material, we can flip him for a high pick 4 years down the road. Third of all, it can be helpful for RGIII to have a fellow rookie qb that is gunning for his job. He won't feel as if he has time to get better just because he's a rookie if he has a fellow rookie breathing down his neck.

anyone know what we got for the 4th?
