But to return to the QBs in this draft, are you suggesting that there is not a single QB in this draft that has the potential to develop into a franchise QB and that this crop is so weak that the average QB available in some future 3rd round grades out higher?
And finally, I see a contradiction in your plan where the Texans front office somehow become draft savants and start landing Pro Bowlers at every round and a franchise QB in a later round (a/k/a the Seattle/SF plan). Yet, this same front office you don't have confidence in identifying the best QB in this draft.

My impression of this class of QBs is that the top 6 to 7 are worthy of Draft grades ranging from the second half of the first round thru the end of the second round. So without an obviously strong QB candidate (or "franchsie QB" if you like), it's really a crap shoot to a certain extent.
So if O'Brien is in love with one of those QBs, he should definitely draft him with the 1.1. But if fails to see that much difference between the QB prospects but thinks he can still draft one with promising potential in the second round, he should give serious consideration to drafting one of the very strong non-QB prospects like Clowney, Greg Robinson, or Watkins with his 1.1.
