I feel like most mocks don't take that into consideration because it's just impossible to predict. Especially when you throw in Bradford, Teddy, Keenum, Tyrod, and McCarron now. While unlikely, all of those guys could conceivably be thought of as starters by teams. That's 5-7 potential starters still not in place. It's easier to just ignore all the noise and take things how they are now

 
I get where you're coming from, but where Cousins lands will drastically effect mock drafts and I believe that has to be in consideration. Personally, I believe there is about a 70% chance he ends up in Denver, but a dark horse team that no one is talking about is Minnesota. He stated that the Vikings would be his ideal team. Minnesota has a lot of free agent money to spend and Cousins would be an upgrade over both Keenum and Bridgewater. I'd give them about a 20% chance of getting him and a 10% chance for any other team in the league. Whatever team signs him, he will be their long term starter and they in all likelihood, would not draft a QB. As far as guys like Bradford, Bridgewater, Keenum, Tyrod and McCarron, I may be wrong, but I just don't see them as long term starters in the NFL. Teams will undoubtedly sign them and they may start right away, but I don't believe that their signings will effect their teams draft plans in any way. If they needed a starting QB, I believe they would still draft one, despite signing one of those guys in free agency.
