Limited options. Elwart probably blew a gasket when Cousins was no longer available. And he can't draft 1st round QB and throw him out on the field as the expected starter; his history with QB selection is horrid and EVERYONE in the fan base and organization knows it.
He'll probably take a QB in the 1st, but he better strike gold and get that kid trained and ready for 2019; his mulligans are used up.
Keenum isn't exactly all horror though; he did a fairly decent job of chewing up KC's defense the last time they met, and that was when the defense was still GOOD.
Still, I wouldn't sign the guy as a stop gap much less pay him that kind of coin.
