Cousins to the Skins

Before the Redskins traded to get Robert Griffin I said they should save their picks fill their other needs and select Kirk Cousins in the third round. I knew that he would fall that far and that I wasn't really sold on the other quarterbacks in the draft. There are so many holes in Washington so why throw a rookie in right away?

So what do the Redskins do? They trade up blow the picks and still draft Cousins in the 4th. You have too many needs to do this Washington. You do not have the luxury to pick both of these quarterbacks. Cousins is a gamer, I like his makeup, but you cannot make this move Washington. What happens if Cousins looks better in the preaseason. The same fans that are so hyped on RG3 will be calling for the backup. It will be Tim Hasselbeck all over again. Not a wise decision and this comes from a Cousins supporter.

Could we have another Heath Shuler vs. Gus Frerotte situation here? Those were the last two quarterbacks I remember the Skins having as rookies at the same time. Frerotte was better despite being a seventh rounder and Shuler a first. Cousins is a hard worker and will over achieve. We will see what happens.
