Same thing with Herbert. We had just drafted Lock the year before and would've had to move up ~ 10 spots to get him. Elway LOVED Herbert and had he come out in 2019 he probably would've been a Bronco.
Drafting a QB just because he's there not only leads to a higher bust %, but you miss out on future elite QB's because you're hoping your premium pick from the year before pans out.

Had Paxton Lynch shown you guys jack**** crap? No.
Had Josh Rosen shown the Cardinals jack**** crap? No.
One franchise went one way, one went the other. Passing on a guy specifically because "We have ______" is an Elwayshit excuse that franchises make. It's how the Cleveland Browns struck out on QBs for 2 decades because they were so intermittent with firing on a QB when they had the chance.
