That's taking it way, way too far. Kirk Cousins lasted to the top of the 4th round in 2012 for several reasons, and only one of which was that it was a great QB class. He had a big turnover problem in college, had a so-so arm, and was projected as a game-manager in the NFL. Without his great intangibles and a coach that fell in love with his game, he likely would've lasted much longer, maybe as late as late 5th/early 6th. In this draft, it's not a stretch to suggest that he would be taken in the 3rd or thereabouts, but to say he would be competing with the likes of Johnny Manziel and Teddy Bridgewater as the top QB available is, in my opinion, ludicrous.
