Yeah, fair enough. If somehow Nuss is there after two rounds, he is worth considering perhaps as a cheap back-up option with some potential, but at this point my default position is, just punt on the QBs in 2026, and let's hope we will be in range for a good one in the 1st round next year.
I think part of the dilemma is if you tank in 26, it's probably a new coaching staff so they don't /won't want to tank. If you have a developmental qb in 26, will you know enough about him or will you take another qb high in 27? I actually don't have a problem taking a qb each year until you have one and then take one developmental guy in mid rounds every other year. They can be huge trade chips if done correctly but we haven't shown that ability yet. If you go vet qb and a developmental qb, I like pairing Cousins with Simpson. They kind of look similar styalisticly to me. You would have to be upfront with Cousins. He is the starter and mentor and should start almost all year or if team doing well, all year. It changes how you draft and approach free agency.
