Except for the "might get us good draft picks"(non-QBs get much worse returns from trades or they just get released), all of these things can be said about non-QB fourth rounders too. For every one Roy Helu, there are 10 guys like Martin Rucker or Mike McGlynn. Guys who will be gone from the team real soon and make little impact or negative impact while on it. And even Helu had to wait until Torain sucked in enough games, then he became the feature back.
