Who decides what settling means? Apparently, you have a unique ability to see into the future and know more than scouts do about how particular QB's might fare in the NFL. Send me next week's lotto numbers while you're on a roll.
I don't think taking a QB high in 2023 is settling. There are 3 guys that have a chance to be special at the top of the draft. There will be others taken later than outperform their draft status. See, Purdy, Brock. It happens every year but MOST of the top QB's in this league are indeed first-rounders. Taking your guy at 1.2 after an extensive scouting process isn't settling. It's doing what you always claim to want - finding your guy and going for it. You can't hit a home run with the bat on your shoulder. And this is likely the last year you can take a guy this high without giving up valuable picks in compensation to do it.
Strike while the iron is hot, take your shot, roll the dice and hope you got your man. That's all any of the 32 teams can do. Not a single one of them knows with certainty that a particular guy will be "the dude". If that were the case, Brady would have been pick 1.1 in his draft.
