I'm sorry but cousins does not impress me at all ugh

[SmootSmack]

Depending on the circumstances I can see us spending one of our 4ths on Cousins, nothing higher

[Chico23231]

Listening to Mike Mayock today on the Jim Rome Show, his thinking is Tannehill doesnt make it pass 12. Wow unbelievable.

[skinsfaninok]

there's always the "Reach" player in every draft, Ponder was last year IMO and I can see RT being this years..

[Chico23231]

I just think its a crime if we take Tannehill at 6 and leave a Claiborne or Blackmon on the board. The 1# CB and 1# WR in the draft to take a distant number 3, 4 or 5 rated QB. Gotta think value at the skill positions and look at our reasonable needs. WR and CB are needs, even though QB is our greatest need...we gotta be smart.

[skinsfaninok]

we won't take a QB in the first unless it's RG3 or Luck..

Only way is if we trade back into the 1st. I still say Manning is a redskin next month

I'd rather use one of our mid-to-late rounders on Kellen Moore or Russell Wilson. Cousins is okay but I haven't seen much from him, albeit in the very limited action I've seen of him.

1. RG3
2. Cousins
3. Luck/Weeden
5. Foles
6. Tannehill

Wow that is really interesting I wonder if it builds RGIII stock.

Think that's why I and a lot of others have been saying as well. Might have been different if Landry Jones and Barkley declared, but they didn't.

Supply and demand. There are at least 6 teams that need QB's and Tannehill is considered the 3rd best QB, therefore someone will make the move before someone else beats them to get him.

yeah remember you saying the samething. I just dont know how I feel about such a gamble. Mayock backed that up with last year's Ponder and Locker picks being reaches but paraphrasing in some way just to emphasize how QB have become such a necessity in a passing league. They're always exceptions, but we may be ripe for a reach considering Shanny's mismanagement of the QB position in a short tenure. In the back of his mind, I wonder whats more important, the right FA QB signing or the right QB draft pick? Whatever the plan is, it needs to be a combo of both, that right combination is especially tricky with Manning coming out and his health issues and the fact Jones and Barkely deciding to stay. Shanny's in a tight spot.

Watch us sign Peyton and somehow also trade for Luck, ha!....

But seriously though I tend to think still that our first pick won't be a QB. Of course, a lot of that is based on my not corroborated by any sources theory that we're going to make a trade offer to the Pats for Hoyer

[Lotus]

Barring a trade for Hoyer, I think we will take Tannehill at 6. And I will be happy. Yes, I know that we have other needs and a guy like Claiborne can fill one. And yes, it would be a reach. But you've got to get your guy at QB. We lost our guy last year - let's not make the same mistake.
