The choice wasn’t surprising because the Washington Redskins needed what Nate Sudfeld gives them: A Young quarterback worth developing. That’s not to say they have old quarterbacks on the roster -- Kirk Cousins is only 27, and in terms of being a starter he’s young. And Colt McCoy is 29.
But the Redskins needed another quarterback in camp. Just to see. And they do like Sudfeld’s potential. That doesn’t mean it will be realized in Washington. Remember, while working for Green Bay from 1994-99, Washington GM Scot McCloughan saw the Packers take players such as Matt Hasselbeck and Aaron Brooks -- all of whom were traded for more picks and became starters elsewhere.
