I found it interesting that Washington drafted RGIII and then in the fourth round they drafted QB Kirk Cousins. I'm not sure what the thinking is there. Also Jaguars drafting a punter in the third round and maybe not even the best one available. He wouldn't have been there in the fifth round?

There's a reason these teams are consistently drafting early in the 1st round.

Most of the talking heads had Cousins late 2nd/early 3rd.   No reason to think the Skins didn't feel the same about him.    If they feel like RGIII is more Vick than Brady wrt to style of play, they also feel there's a chance he won't be starting every game over the next 4 seasons.    Drafting late 2nd quality in the early 4th isn't as dumb as it seems at first glance.    Hell, they might turn him into a 2nd round pick in a couple of seasons.   Teams are always looking for another competent QB.
