[QUOTE="sschind, post: 827129, member: 10247"] I honestly think trading for Keenum was one of the better moves this off season. First of all he is only counting 3.5 million against their cap this year and second, he doesn't completely suck so if he is the starter its not like they are giving up on the season. For being in the QB situation the Redskins are in he gives them several options they wouldn't have if they simply went with whatever backup they had on their roster. By having him they have at worst an average QB who has played pretty well at times. Granted the 2019 Redskins are not going to be the 2017 vikings so I don't expect a 13-3 season from them but its not like he is a perennial loser. If there is a QB they really like they can still do what it takes to land him by trading up if need be but if there is no one they are sold on they can stay put and maybe take one if he falls to them or they can go in another direction and draft one later. If they didn't have him they may have felt compelled to trade up or reach for a guy they may not view as the future just to get someone. If they do land a rookie they shouldn't feel the need to throw him to the wolves right off the bat if they don't think he is ready. Lastly I think it is reasonable to expect if he has a decent season they will get at least their 6th rounder back as a comp pick plus they got the extra 7th rounder this year. If getting Smith at 44 meant we could land a top OL and S at 12 and 30 I would gladly pass on Hockenson and Fant. There are also several other prospects available later that might even make it worth losing out on all three. Having Graham means we don't have to look for a starting TE early if we don't want to. I still hope we do because I do think Graham will be a major cut candidate next season and it would be nice to have his replacement prepped and ready with a season under his belt but he does give us options even though we are paying dearly for them.
