Kirk Cousins pick 4.7

FRPLG

I'm officially on board with the pick. He is immediately better than our other backups we've had minus RG0 and in a year he is probably better than him. If he really really pans out then he's a trade asset.

He seems like a selfless guy who is willing to wait. Hence, I see no problems.

No kidding! The guy may want to be a starter, but I expect all the other 4th round backups will too. He will probably understand now that his best chance to start will be to perform well when he gets a chance and get traded into a starting role elsewhere.

I think this trade is about two things:
1: Getting a great value pick that can be traded for more in the future.
2: Creating trade leverage. Bruce Allen is putting his trade partners on alert that they can't wait for the skins to skip on a player because they only draft for need. If other teams want their guy, pay up.

Hit the nail on the head. This pickup will net us at least a 3rd rounder in 2 or 3 years. Plus, you think watching RG3 and being coached by our QB coaches wont help this guy? If corn on the kolb can fetch a 2nd and a top CB after learning from McNabb, who knows what we will get after a few years of this guy in our system.

Kudos on the pick, wish we could have gotten him with our second fourth rounder, but I say it would have been a 50/50 proposition that he fell. Nice forward thinking pick. Qb has turned from a glaring weakness to a possible glaring strength on this team!!!!!!

Agree 100%... The media attention is beneficial; It's amazing that just 3-4 months ago, most didn't want Grossman back; we draft Cousins, and the ones who wanted Grossman out, are bitching about us drafting a better, and younger backup QB in Cousins. Did we need to draft him? Maybe not. But the dropoff in talent and prodution between the starting QB and the backup QB is pretty huge on most teams in the league. It's always good to have a backup who can, and has the potential to start and win you games. There are so many positives about this pick: In 2-3 years, we can trade him for a high draft pick, we don't have to worry about the backup QB spot for at least 2-3 years, which means no more signing Grossman to 1 year deals, it motivates and pushes RG3 to perform at a high level, and it saves Shanahan's ass and gives him and Allen an insurance plan/Plan B, if RG3's (I hope not) a complete fail. But to start, KIRK COUSIN'S IS RG3'S BACKUP WHO JUST HAPPENS TO BE DRAFTED IN THE SAME YEAR AS RG3 AND 100 SPOT'S LATER.

Everyone should of picked RG3/Rex, please don't pull-up any of my old post.

I actually loved the answer he gave to how he prepared for Georgia after Gruden told him the UGA DC was calling Saban asking him what he did to stop Cousins after which Cousins turned around and said he called Kellen Moore who "had lit up the Bulldogs earlier in the year" to get advice. Actually brought a tear of joy to my eye.
