You’re not getting a shot at a franchise QB drafting so late. Not unless a Patrick Mahomes type talent is available and reeruns pass on him 9X, which the statistical chance of that happening again would likely be maybe 2%.
This was their best play and it didn’t cost very much

This is basically what it comes down to. They really had no better options.
Even if they drafted a guy at 21, he wouldn’t be ready next year most likely. Plus, they need a left tackle, which is probably where they go at 21 now.
Ballards not going to pay what it takes for Watson and the FA market is trash.
It’s a reasonable chance at success without completely mortgaging the future.
