It's ridiculous to list the Schaub picks as a waste. The guy was a good QB and provided great return on those picks up until his last year here. GMs with no QB (or worse, GMs with Derek Carr) would all be thrilled to get the first 5 years of Matt Schaub we got and the division titles that came with that stretch.
Schaub was one of the biggest factors in our transition from joke to above-average franchise. He was then one of the biggest factors holding us back in our efforts to move beyond above average. But I have great appreciation for him and I am guessing you would be hard pressed to hind sight cherry pick those two picks into a bigger payoff for Houston.
Just for comparison's sake, 5 QBs were drafted in the 2nd rounds of the 2007 and 2008 draft. They are Kevin Kolb, John Beck, Drew Stanton, Brian Brohm, and Chad Henne.
