re: The argument of trading first rounders for an experienced QB

It's obvious that the sure thing (vet QB) is better than the unknown (draft pick). And, I think the age of the QB will also play into the price; you may have to give up more for a Watson (pre controversy) or Wilson, than you would for a Rogers. I think a trade for Rogers would be worth 2 1st, a vet starter, and a conditional 3rd pick that could turn into a 1st based on contract extensions.
But, to argue your point. For all of the misses that you listed, they have had some hits in the 1st round:
2006-Reggie
2009-Jenkins (although, he was a bigger hit for Philly, but still rated properly as a 1st)
2011-Cam & Ingram
2014-Cooks
2015-Peat (can be argued either way)
2017-Latt
2017-Ram
2020-Ruiz (verdict still out due to last season, but I think he will end up falling under the hit list)
2015-Anthony (you missed him as the biggest 1st round miss by this FO)
And, other than Anthony, the names you listed turned out to be quality players/starters; just not worth their 1st round price tag. Ironically, if they were 2nd & 3rd round picks; the picks would be viewed as quality value.
I agree with all this. In the end it’s a risk either way. You have an above-average-to-super bowl contending roster right now. Why not cash in on a QB you’d imagine will be playing at the same level for the next 3-4 seasons?
