Re: Drafting a QB?
 

I cant believe folks are suggesting taking a QB with the first pick. Could you imagine the drama?

Yep, also knowing that Cousins is in the weight room at Redskins park today makes it even more silly.

I don't give one hoot about drama, I care about being prepared when/if Kirk walks next year.

I just rather get a deal done with a proven QB and not throw a wrench at any chance to get one done by the deadline. Drafting a QB would be a bad message, the only way it makes sense is to trade Cousins before the draft.

It could also be a bargaining chip, but the team has too many needs to spend it on that.

As I said before, unless they feel like Sudfeld or McCoy would not work out as backup/third stringer, I doubt the team spends any picks on a QB.

Being that we don't and we're already in vulnerable position and I don't want the FO to compound the situation by ignoring the fact that we might not have a QB next year and unless something is done we'll get no compensation when he leaves.

I'm not gonna sit around with my fingers crossed and hope Kirk wants to stay next year.

Drafting a QB isn't about sending a message it's about having a QB.

I do agree that IF they're not gonna get a deal done then they should go ahead and trade Kirk and get value.

Re: Drafting a QB?
 

If they actually want to keep Kirk, don't draft a QB at all this year. We already have a good backup and a project qb. You just have to risk it and hope you can sign him by July 15th.

If you don't want to keep him, draft Watson if he's available at 17 or Nathan Peterman if available in round 3. Otherwise wait till next draft or possibly take another late round flyer like Sudfeld.

That's my thought process.

Re: Drafting a QB?
 

Just need to sign Kirk and give him his long term deal. What is Mr Snyder waiting for?!

We need a young developing qb on the rooster...this draft has them early, Middle and late. I’d rate the stock as an b+ for talent. Grab one if u like one after the second round

Re: Drafting a QB?
 

Of course we should draft a QB. That's a given, IMO.

Re: Drafting a QB?
 

I think you wait. This is more an indictment of JGrudens future then need. This year with this trade we only have a 1st and 2nd. Next year we should gain a 3rd for compensatory. Smith is our starter for the next 2 years minimum so let's use this draft to build the team lines.

IF Gruden can't get us in the playoffs with Smith then you let him go and let the next coach draft a qb to groom.
IF Gruden gets us in the playoffs then in 2 to 3 years we draft a young qb to take over when Smith is on the final years of his deal.

Re: Drafting a QB?
 

If Allen or Mayfield are there at 13 (highly unlikely) then I say yes only because Smith is 33 Y/O and father time never loses.
