Comp picks can not be traded.

I always thought David Carr was a guy who got ****ed by circumstance. It's one thing to be Roethlisberger or Rodgers getting sacked 2000 times in your 4th or 5th season; it's another to get sacked 2000 times as a rookie. Then again, people who watched the texans a lot will tell you he straight up sucked. So maybe that was it.
As far as alex smith goes, I don't think I was ever a believer there. He had WCO qb written all over him right from the start.

David Carr was the poster boy for QBs that lock on to primary receivers.
He had/has absolutely no field vision, and couldn't make a read if it was simplified to "Dick and Jane" level.
He was sacked eleventbillion times because he makes Matt Cassel look like Joe Montana by comparison.
Alex Smith is never going to be anything more than a reliable game manager, because he can not take the top off a defense.

Our next GM might be a genious.
And he might see a QB he likes, figures he'll fall to the 4th round, and will wait until then.
And he might be right.
And a lot smarter than any of us.

Just playing devil's advocate.

You don't gamble on the most important position in all of team sports by waiting until the mid rounds to address it.
The guy you like might bet taken before you expect it.
There's no way you can "know" a kid that is rated a 3rd or 4th round, or later, talent is the guy.
It's an educated gut feeling, at best.
A smart GM will take the highest rated QB at #1 overall, then take that other later in the draft if he's there.
