Starters can go down or even have career threatening injures like Teddy Bridgewater had.
Staying active in the QB market offers more chances to land that RARE ELITE level QB.
QB's hold their trade value pretty well offering trade options like the one the Patriots just used trading 3rd rounder Jacoby Brissett for 1st round WR Phillip Dorsett.
Also the Luxury of having Competition in a stacked QB room in a QB driven league.
Can shed Cap Spending money when a youngster beats out an older higher paid player that you can then Trade. Especially with quickly RISING QB contracts.
You have some good points on that list.
I just question if we have the right coaches here to develop a #2 and #3 QB that isn't going to play right away.
A hidden benefit of drafting a QB in the 1st Round is for the next 5 years we can hear Bengals management talk about how we can't spend in free agency because we have to re-sign Watson when he's a free agent in 5 years!
