You can actually get a first round prospect and sit him. It can really be done! Especially when the college game doesn't produce the level of NFL-ready talent that it used to, AND when the rookie agreements that made millionaires out of Matt Stafford no longer exist.
And if you groom him in to an acceptable back-up but he doesn't seem like the guy you really want, you can "Matt Cassel" him to some dumbass franchise that never takes the risk.
It's a win-win.
You can take him along slowly and ease him in

Weren't you that tool that went on and on about Geno...just for the arbitrary fact he was labeled a #1 pick? Wilson was a #3, Carr a #2, Bridgewater a #2...
Developing a QB is great strategy until you realize he hates your franchise and quits returning calls...oh and you usually want an actual starting QB while they develop. That part helps too...
KC just signed Reids QBOTF...he drafted and groomed him. KC didn't need to blow multiple picks to get him...Foles isn't going anywhere. He's going to play back-up for a few seasons...
