If we hit on the rookie QB though it wouldn't be a stretch to see him being just as good, if not better than Cousins in year 2 or 3. Also, you could use that $20-$30M that would've went to Cousins/Keenum to beef up the OL and other holes.

We have had to wait 2 years already. John isn't in the mood to wait around for 48 years like other franchises who will go nameless yet know who they are as they are still looking to next year after 2 big trades.
If you draft a QB at 5 he still has to play behind our terrible OL which needs a RT and an upgrade at G though I guess McGovern could beat out Garcia this year but McGovern isn't probably going to have the ceiling of Nelson. We would have to use a 2nd or 3rd on a RT. If the best player in the draft is a G and he is slam dunk to be a HOF player then take him. Don't burn a top 5 pick based on need, especially if you are getting the 3rd QB off the board.
I am all for spending the money on Cousin's for the next 5-6 years. No growing pains, no busting out. Only thing to worry about is his health and that could be said for anyone. We don't need to spend any big money on anyone else in FA, maybe a young WR like Richardson would be nice if they trade Sanders but it is sounding more and more like Sanders is staying.
