You value Minshew as a first round talent drafted in the 6th round and essentially most of us agree he can develop on the sidelines this season. Mahomes sat his first year. There is value to a first round QB sitting his first season. That’s put us with two possible starting QBs in 2021. By then we know if Minshew is worthy or not. Nothing wrong with having a fantastic back up QB either... 

Could it be overkill? Absolutely... but after nearly 20 years of [BLEEP] QBs, I think you need overkill at this point. We need to try our best to guarantee we have a franchise qb moving forward. We have done a piss poor job in the past. 

We have 2 first we can trade to move up with...or with a class this deep, our first pick may be high enough allowing us to address our other needs later in the first.

Alex Smith was playing VERY well which allowed Mahomes to sit.
I have no problem with a first round guy sitting if the guy ahead of him is clearly better. 

I just think we have an opportunity to use 2 first rounders to get 2 studs on D or OL.
I don't value Minshew as a first rounder... he's a sixth rounder, and for good reasons really.

I look at the QBs we can draft in this coming draft and don't think any of them fair much better behind an OL that needs work. Burrow gets all day protection and has weapons that don't drop the ball. Tua is great with protection and crumbles when under pressure (and now has ankle injury history). I'm not sold on Herbert or Fromm as NFL franchise guys honestly.
That's my personal scouting of these QBs. I've been wrong before (A lot)

I just think if you use high picks on OL, D, weapons... you can have a late round guy come in and be very successful (Dak Prescott, Wilson, Dalton early in his career)
That's what I'd prefer to see them do. Fix the team around WHOEVER is going to be QB in 2020/2021
