Not in their rookie years. Osweiler and Foles have a lot of technical problems to work out, and neither of them read defenses or see the field as well as Quinn, Stanzi, and hell, I'll even throw Cassel on the list as well. We already have a better version of Kirk Cousins on the roster in Ricky Stanzi. Drafting another one is pointless. And I think Brandon Weeden needs time, too.
I have no idea where this "NFL-ready" garbage about Weeden is coming from. He needs at least a full season of exposure to NFL calls and schemes, and some practice taking snaps under center. It could be 2 or even 3 seasons before any hint of his true ability as an NFL QB can be seen.
So no. Luck, RGIII, and Tannehill are the only QBs I really care about. And MAYBE Russell Wilson. But he shouldn't be given any kind of legitimate consideration for depth chart advancement at all this year. We'll need about that length of time to see if he can compensate for his short height in the NFL.
