I kept telling you that if the two QBs that you covet are regarded as much better prospects, there will be teams that tank in order to get them.
Unless you give the farm, you won't have the chance at those guys.
And even if you're willing to give up the farm, those teams may not sway.
And even if they sway, your draft capital would diminish greatly.
You would end up with no support for that shiny new QB.
Like I said, the Texans missed a big opportunity with Wilson.
I could easily have gone with him in the second (he was drafted in the third), plus Cousins in the fourth (instead of Ben Jones) and Keenum in the fifth.
Look at this.
The 2012 NFL Draft was hyped as one of the best of all time. 6 years later we take a look at how good it really was.

They could easily have had Wilson instead of Posey.
That was the best QB draft class I had ever called.
But McNair had to give Matt Schaub the extension that ruined everything.
