3.10 Dallas Junglehawgs — QB Kirk Cousins

In the real world: High completion percentage at Michigan State was due to lots of screen passes. “He doesn't give his receivers a chance to make a big play after the catch,” says Cecil Lammey. The Redskins took him early in Round 4 for two reasons: Even after trading up for Robert Griffin III in Round 1, they still needed depth at the position; also, there's the idea that they could develop him into somebody else's starter (like the Falcons did with Matt Schaub several years ago, and which the Patriots hope to do with one of their third-round picks last year, Ryan Mallett).
In the TUFF world: Dallas takes him here, perhaps hoping to work out a deal with Arizona (who took RG3 with the fourth overall pick in this draft) later this year... or a bigger deal further down the road if Cousins becomes another Matt Schaub.
