Perspective on the value of a top 5 pick.

Scott Wright's Draftcountdown.com used to have a tally for 2nd round QBs and their success and it was basically a dead zone. Drew Brees was, at the time of the article, one of the very few exceptions, with Dalton being another. But, generally speaking, if a QB isn't worth taking in the first round, their statistical success rate plummets.

You’re much more likely to find the next Mahomes or Watson in the 1st, than you are to find a Brady, Wilson, or Brees, late. Just a fact.

We need a QB, and will likely have the #1OA pick. Seems like a no-brainer to go QB to me. As tempting as taking Chase Young, would be, we’re not in a good enough spot to take him.
