    I don't think it matters, the only choice I'm 100% against is Cousins.

    Any of the other names (or first round pick) has at least a small chance of being the QB of the future. Howard, Willis, Jones. Each unlikely to be a star, but also each one possible. I'm not against any of them getting a shot, or a combination like bringing one in to compete with Howard and Rudolph and best man wins. Any of those signals that the team is moving forward, Cousins does not. But, none of these guys excites me as a must get guy.

    Other. Draft a QB, but not necessarily in round 1. Then let the rookie and Howard duke it out.

    There is no need to reach for any QB in round 1 (we have far too many holes around the team). If a great WR falls, or DB or LG or LT, take them.

    After Mendoza, the QB logjam is all day 2 or day 3 material (weaknesses in their games, with upside).

    Take a Beck or Nussmeir or other in round 2 or 3 or 4. Have them compete, open competition, with Howard. Hopefully we end up with something OTHER than Rudolph starting in 2026.

    I'd like them to consider GT Haynes King, but later in draft. I don't think he'll be a top 4 round pick, but get him because he's a heck of a competitor and a good running QB with solid passing skills. He's just lacking in NFL level upside, but could be an average QB. Add him to a round 2 or 3 QB and we got some real youthful competition that shoudl give us a GOOD starting QB by the end of 2026 (growing pains).
