    And to Shanahan's genius- if he's so confident in RGIII- giving up the ranch to get him, why draft another quarterback- Kirk Cousins, in the fourth round? That move was almost universally panned as one of the dumbest picks in the entire draft.

    Maybe it's because we are going to be getting rid of Grossman and he wants a handpicked and groomed QB backing up the franchise?

    ...or possibly we are going to flip him here in a year or two and get a mid round pick back?

    At the time it was called a "questionable" pick, but as time progressed people began to see the wisdom in that pick.

    I'd say the Redskins had slightly bigger needs than a backup quarterback. From the little I've read, Cousins is a rehash of Colt McCoy.

    Well, McCoy will be the Browns backup. If it is good enough for us, it is good enough for them.

    The thing is, it just seems bizarre that a team would spend as much as the Skins did on their "franchise" QB, then draft his backup in the same draft in the 4th round.

    Maybe it will work for them. Bon Chance.
