I think it's also worth considering that RR could be gun shy taking a project QB high in the 1st round this year, after the Haskins debacle. I suspect had he not been allowed to shift Haskins on when he did, RR would likely have resigned. I'd say that makes him wary about taking a big risk with our rd1 pick, and probably rd2. Better to ride with Wentz for at least one year, knowing you can go after a need/BPA with our top picks and if it goes south and you're still around, pick up a better prospect in '23. Sinking a 1st or 2nd round pick into a suspect QB when you have a starter and capable back up on the roster doesn't make sense when you have other needs.

I'd certainly look at a 4th or 5th round QB pick if they were BPA, and definitely scour the UDFA pool for a diamond in the rough, but using high picks on a QB doesn't make sense now the need is not urgent.
