Drafting a QB?

[30gut]

Do you think the front office will and should draft a quarterback this draft?

If you think they will or should what round do you think they will select a quarterback?

[skinsfan69]

Knowing how Dan and Bruce operate, I expect them to draft someone within the first 3 rounds. I wouldn't be shocked if they took someone in the first round since they have no inclination to sign KC to a long term deal.

I don't think any of these QB's are worthy of being 1st rounders. Tribisky? Give me a break. He couldn't beat out a running QB and had one good year. All of them are projects. I think if Kaaya gets with the right coach he could be a really good QB. He may be the only one who actually got under center and ran a pro offense.

not saying should draft a QB..but don't be surprised if a few of those guys end up being very good pro QB's...

This is close to what I think. Based on where they are now with Kirk's contract it seems smart for the FO to have viable contingency plans at the QB position.

No, he will not play this year and it is a weak QB draft.

What if they aren't able to get a long term deal done with Kirk? What happens at QB then?

then you draft a QB in 2018 and have him compete with Colt for the starting job. And save $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ for other free agents

Do not hold your breath about a long term deal. The only offer that we know of so far was described as being "Around 20 million" a season, that was based heavily on incentives. If Kirk met all the bench marks, he would earn "around" 20 million a year.

I think obviously in this situation that no deal is reached, Cousins leaves in 2018, and you could have a possible three way battle for the starting job between McCoy, Sudfeld, and whoever we draft at QB this year.

The redskins are drafting a QB, bank on it. They botched the Cousins thing too bad to recover from it. They are thinking now about plan B. Lots of egos involved here and nobody is going to apologize to Kirk or his agent and try to renegotiate. I think with that being known by all, i am baffled as to why they don't trade Cousins now and get the picks for their replacement option....

You are so on point here. They have been valuing and negotiating with him based on his talent level and ability. He is a really good QB that can win games. He isn't great.

The situation and the market dictate the team pay him "great QB" money because he is going to get it somewhere some time.

Even if he has a STINKER of a season he is going to get top money in San Fran or with 6 to 8 other teams next year.

They have screwed this up from the beginning .

No one is going to trade for KC unless they can agree to a long term contract prior to the trade. And it is going to probably take over $25 million a year to keep him. I doubt many teams will give up over a $100 million dollars plus high picks for KC.... I hope I am wrong, a trade does make sense for the Redskins....it looks like the Redskins lack a plan

[skinsfaninok]

If Trubisky is there at 17, it is tempting.. If we don't draft a QB, u would think KC will get a long deal

[30gut]

To me the unsettled nature of Kirk's long term contract is the key factor.

I think if a long term contract was possible they would have done it by now.

I can't imagine a worse scenario then to lose Kirk next year and start brand new at QB in 2018.

[Ruhskins]

I guess it depends on whether or not they feel they have something in Sudfeld and/or how long they think McCoy will be around. He's 30 years old, I know it is not old for a QB, but who knows.

I doubt they'd draft someone in the first three rounds. Too many needs elsewhere to spend on a QB. Unless someone really good drops in the draft.

[30gut]

caveat emptor:

I am genuinely interested in what people think about the current QB situation in relation to the draft.

It is my nature to ask questions, hopefully there can be discussion.

I can't see taking a QB before round 5. Take one early on and they're pretty much setting up a season full of stupid drama.
