Here's my theory on it: We have three guys who are pretty well established as QB's....with our two backups having shown that they can start a few gamed and get their team wins. Since an undrafted free agent QB can choose where to go most of them would probably stay away from us unless they had no other options because they have zero chance of making the roster.

You always want to have QB on the practice squad, and it's great if you have one you think might have a chance to develop into something one day. By drafting Brink the Texans assured themselves that they had a QB that they saw SOMETHING in....even if it was only a little something. A pass rushing DE who went undrafted would probably have the Texans pretty high on his list since that position was widely regarded as a need, and one we didn't fill in the draft.

The other part of it is that Rosey is on the last year of his contract. Gray only signed a one year deal if I remember correctly. That means both of them could be gone after the season is over. I think there's a pretty good chance that happens too. By taking Brink they might give themselves a little insurance heading into next year by having another QB besides Schaub who know our system.
