So we can say goodbye to the "Back-Up Barn"?

Wow...... I don't understand that one but I'm not in the war room!!!!

Re: 2012 NFL Draft Day 3
 

There goes a great Center to denver RG3's guy

Re: 2012 NFL Draft Day 3
 

Traded back

Re: 2012 NFL Draft Day 3
 

Trading back...

Trade.....

Re: 2012 NFL Draft Day 3
 

I think the Skins traded down.

Re: 2012 NFL Draft Day 3
 

Did we really just trade our pick?

Re: 2012 NFL Draft Day 3
 

looks like we traded down again, with the steelers this time

Re: 2012 NFL Draft Day 3
 

I'm in your draft....taking your picks.

Re: 2012 NFL Draft Day 3
 

Interesting. Could they use him as good trade bait if he has a good preseason? It will put pressure on RG3 not that he needs it but could give him a reality check. It is good to have a good back up also. Cousins is a winner. Is he comparable to Tom Brady in where he got picked? He could be.

119 now

Les Miles: "You know Kirk Cousins is a great pick. At LSU we had TWO Quarterbacks."

Re: 2012 NFL Draft Day 3
 

And we traded down..more picks to pick backup QB's. Kellen Moore? Austin Davis? Aaron Corp anyone?

On Cousins to #Redskins. Even tho he played for the North, we allow staffs to swap teams on Thur. nite so they can meet with other squads.

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.

Re: 2012 NFL Draft Day 3
 

why wouldnt we have been interested in ta'amu? high grade, perfect fit for a nose tackle. we trade back to pick up another 6th rounder instead.

Re: 2012 NFL Draft Day 3
 

Alameda, that NT, goes to Pitt. Looks like we didn't actually have much interest.

Re: 2012 NFL Draft Day 3
 

Theres still some great Safeties on the board Iloka, Martin

Re: 2012 NFL Draft Day 3
 

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

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.

Re: 2012 NFL Draft Day 3
 

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?

Re: 2012 NFL Draft Day 3
 

[quote=CultBrennan59;913030]Theres still some great Safeties on the board Iloka, Martin[/quote]

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

Re: 2012 NFL Draft Day 3
 

[quote=Gtothearry;913035]So, what did we get for the trade?[/quote]

Probably a 7th round pick.

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

6th rounder

Re: 2012 NFL Draft Day 3
 

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.

Re: 2012 NFL Draft Day 3
 

anyone know what we got for the 4th?

Yep
Hey RGIII, There is no such thing as a free lunch.

Re: 2012 NFL Draft Day 3
 

CB Dennard, OT Massie or Mosley, C Molk or DT Ta'amu are my best available for Skins

Re: 2012 NFL Draft Day 3

Re: 2012 NFL Draft Day 3
 

we got picks 119 in 4th and 193 in 6th for trade with steelers

Re: 2012 NFL Draft Day 3
 

Does anyone hear really believe that anyone in the Skins front office will even imply that Cousins will have a chance to compete for the starting job in 2012 or 2013?

Re: 2012 NFL Draft Day 3
 

[quote=JoeRedskin;913040]anyone know what we got for the 4th?[/quote]

Looks like we got the 24th pick in the 4th and a 6th.

Re: 2012 NFL Draft Day 3
 

^ take off Ta'amu off your list


underrated player to the bears..great TE/FB

Definitely not.

He's clearly a developmental type of guy, will be groomed to be a backup, possibly traded in a few years if he's impressive in the preseason or limited regular season action.
