Congratulations, you have fulfilled your mandated and filled your depth chart:

1) Kirk Cousins

2) Chad Kelly

3) Antonio Pipkin

FA money spent: $41 million

Draft picks spent: R1 (#2 overall), 2018 R1, R2, R4

There's no doubt that you've spent A TON on Kirk Cousins, but he does firmly fill the hole at QB for you. Owner Jed York's happy with the decision, and Coach Shanahan loves having a QB that he can trust his offense with from Day 1. He should be able to spike your win total immediately, which should make that 2018 1st rounder you lost a higher pick than the Redskins realized.

Shanahan and co. aren't thrilled with your backup depth chart, though. On their own, Chad Kelly and Antonio Pipkin would be great upside projects to develop, but developing them both at the same time will present a challenge. To make matters worse, you don't have a single quarterback on your roster ready to step in for Cousins if he gets injured.

Overall, analysts like your Cousins gambit, but feel like you didn't provide him enough protection.

grade: B-
