Kirk Cousins in the Third ??

What QB are you guys interested in if we are not able to trade up for RGIII ??
I know there are Manning, Flynn, Tannehill, Foles, & Weeden supporters. Which one of the options other than Luck or Griffin would you guys like to see either drafted or picked up in FA. I am hoping to have a Post that is not a lets trade up/let's not trade up as I am pretty sure that everyone else is about as sick of that conversation as I am.

I would like to see us take a hard look at Chad Henne in FA as a stopgap/mentor type of QB & then draft Kirk Cousins in the third if he is still on the board. I know a lot of you are groaning at the thought of Cousins but he does have a lot of upside & has many of the intangibles that Mike Shanahan values in a player. He is 6-3, 205 lb.s. He had a 63% comp. percentage with 25 TDs & 10 int.s in 2011 & a career 64% comp. percentage with 66 TDs & 30 int.s. He was a two time Team Captain, is a great leader & has excellent intangibles. He would be a very good fit in a WCO. Cousins does everything pretty well but nothing really well. His arm strength is above average but far from elite & his pre snap reads sometimes leave much to be desired. He is very accurate with his short & intermediate throws & does protect the ball well. He was one of the better QBs at the Senior Bowl (tho that's not saying much) & also looked very good in his drills at the Combine. I like him as a prospect because he does have the potential to be a Matt Schaub type of QB with the right system & good coaching. As a 3rd rd. pick the downside if he is a bust or only becomes the #2 is limited. If we can not land a top tier QB then I would prefer Cousins to any of the other 2nd tier prospects.
