Kirk Cousins pick 4.7

Draft review: Shanahan says he couldn't pass up Cousins (http://www.csnwashington.com/football-washington-redskins/redskins-talk/Draft-review-Shanahan-says-he-couldnt-pa?blockID=698877&feedID=6355)

Apparently, there was a Shanaboner in the war room.

I really don't like this pick.

Ernie Accorsi didn't give up the ranch to get Eli and then turn around and draft Luke McCown in the 4th round as some sort of hedge.

Cousins may be a decent player but Griffin is, strictly based on how much the Skins gave up for him, clearly THE guy that Shanahan wanted and should be afforded the chance to develop without another young drafted QB around. It's an inconsistent message to not only Griffin but to the team and the fans.

If Cousins is some sort of a Griffin injury hedge--well then Rex or some other veteran could have done that role. And we would have applied the pick towards a greater need.

If Shanahan really wanted another young Qb to develop--best to not waste a pick and get an undrafted free agent. That would have not only saved a pick but also not created any drama vis-a-vis Griffin.
Rex and the now departed Beck suck monkey balls!!!!!! Cousins isn't RG III, but he would be a dependable backup, and could wins some games for us in the future if need be. Beck just sucks ass, who came from a BYU team that at the time had come down a notch or two in terms of being a national power. Cousins was a very solid QB for a very good Spartan team, which plays in one of the premier NCAA football conferences. This move was probably part of the plan, which means Rex is probably out in a year or two.

Looks like Shanahan is a QB whore like Gruden :D

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

Luck meanwhile, despite being very smart and probably a very nice guy isn't exactly the best interview.


Luck is the epitome of how appearances can deceive. Sounds stupid, looks ugly, but a damn fine athlete and a top quarterback.

The only negative here is that when RG3 struggles you know what's going to happen. People are going to be calling for Cousins.

Not too long ago everybody was yelling for Beck to replace Rex.

Actually it would have been closer to the Giants drafting Eli in round 1 and Schuab in round 4 (Schuab was picked very close to where the Skins selected Cousins and both had similar pre draft grades and legacies).

Our only pick, minus RG3, who makes the team.

Could be our new Gus.

This is a really silly statement....

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.
