Who knows? Nobody knows. Sure Jimmy was a higher touted prospect coming out, but we still dont know how he has developed doing his stay in NE. Watson and Kizer are higher touted prospect coming out of college. I rather take a chance on those guys than trading mulitple picks to NE. I fear will overpay with picks much like Texans did with Brock and money.
Robinson had a far better pedigree, and if you took their first 3 games no doubt you'd take Robinson over Leno. Doesn't mean he is a better OT, and if we had traded for him and then gave him a huge contract people would be pissed and the GM would probably find themselves on the hot seat.
As for prospects, I think at worst Watson/Kizer are at least equal to Jimmy's potential and you have 4 years on a rookie deal instead of having to work a new starting qb contract from day 1.
With draft everything is theoretical. On paper I rather have a QB from the first three picks, than a guy in 6rd round. But that doesnt mean you have situtations like in Redskins where your lower drafted QB plays better than the one you picked with a top pick. You never know what you gonna get as someone once said
