Quote:That makes little sense.  If Bridgewater (or any QB for that matter) is truly worth getting at #3, you won't be needing to take any other QB at all.  It would be a wasted pick.  Instead, if we're drafting a QB with our second rounder or later, then it makes perfect sense to add extra competition and/or a developmental QB later, too since they won't be the caliber QB that's worth a #3 overall.

It makes perfect sense, actually.  The Redskins took RGIII and then later picked up Kirk Cousins, and they traded away several picks to get RGIII.  Let's not forget that RGIII was picked at #2 and not #3.  You may point to the Redskins being unsuccessful... though they did make the playoffs the first year with RGIII.

 

Adding a developmental player means that you have insurance if your #3 pick doesn't pan out how you think he will or if he gets injured.  If the guy you pick later develops to be something, and your #3 pick is something... you can trade the lesser of two for a better pick.  

 

Heck the Colts drafted a 2nd QB when they took Luck #1.  It was a 7th rounder, but surely the great Andrew Luck wouldn't have warranted even that.
